UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of hdcHM05231 under the control of Scer\GAL4en-e16E leads to increased cell death in third instar larval wing discs.
Under a poor-protein diet, expressing hdcHM05231 under the control of Scer\GAL4en.PU does not affect the proportion of cell in mitosis (phospho-H3 staining) despite of inducing a mild decrease in cells in S-phase (BrdU labeling) in the wing disc, as compared to controls.
