UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of unc-13KK109346 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PU, in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency, results in a dramatic and significant reduction in the sedative (loss of righting reflex) effects of ethanol, compared to controls.
Expression of unc-13KK109346 driven by Scer\GAL4phm.PO does not lead to developmental delay/arrest at the larval stage.
