UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
trol knockdown through expression of trolGD7744 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI results in more compact looking imaginal discs, with sections showing elongation of cells in the apico-basal axis. in addition, the central nervous system shows signs of hyper-constriction, with vesicles of tissue herniating from the ventral nerve cord.
Adults expressing trolGD7744 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.
