UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing twfGD10342 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.
Expression of twfGD10342 under the control of Scer\GAL4slbo.2.6 in the border cells at 29[o]C results in significantly delayed migration of the border cells, and 48% of border cell clusters fail to reach the border, compared to 4% in control animals.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in duplication of bristle hairs on the notum in 0-10% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain.
