UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Males expressing tinGD4155 specifically in late spermatogonia and early spermatocytes using Scer\GAL4bam.T:Hsim\VP16 are fully fertile and display morphologically normal testes.
Adults expressing tinGD4155 under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver show significantly reduced survival on day 6 after a shift to 29[o]C compared to control flies.
Adults expressing tinGD4155 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.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in a weak flyer phenotype, viable flies or late pupal lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 0%, 50-60% or 80-90% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression of tinGD4155 under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in variable levels of lethality, depending on the insertion of the P{GD4155} transgene. Survivors show a defective flight phenotype.
