UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CNMaKK110796 under the control of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PU (in combination with UAS-Dicer2 to increase RNAi efficiency) results in a significant increase in the latency to sperm ejection in females after the end of copulation.
Male courtship behaviors, female reproductive behaviors (the mating rate, egg-laying, and re-mating rate) and waking activities during day and night periods of Scer\GAL4nSyb.PS CNMaKK110796 animals are indistinguishable from controls.
