UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Ge-1KK102275 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 at 25[o]C results in lethality.
Flies expressing Ge-1KK102275 under the control of Scer\GAL4da.G32 and raised at 18[o]C show increased susceptibility to infection by Sigma virus compared to controls. The mutant flies have a higher viral load compared to the controls.
