UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Scer\GAL4repo.PL-mediated expression of svpGD1546 results in broad areas in the optic stalk of larval eye discs devoid of glial processes, indicating impaired glial cell wrapping.
Adults expressing svpGD1546 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Scer\GAL4repo.PL, svpGD1546 has lethal - all die during larval stage phenotype, suppressible by styGD1156/Scer\GAL4repo.PL
