UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG3961KK102693 under the control of Scer\GAL4Lsp2.3.1 (using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit expression to adulthood) results in increased cell death in germaria but not vitellogenic stage follicles and while it does not affect the proliferation of the germline stem cells it leads to significant increase in the rate of their loss over time.
Expression of CG3961KK102693 under the control of Scer\GAL4sal.BO (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) does not result in larval lethality at the L2/L3 transition.
