UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The expression of PK1-RJF02690 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav-C155 does not affect the expected increase in food consumption induced by dietary amino acids, as observed in controls.
Expression of PK1-RJF02690 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PU in adult females significantly decreases locomotor activity in fed conditions, compared to controls; like controls, locomotor activity is significantly increased under starvation conditions.
PK1-R knock-down in Insulin Producing Cells (Scer\GAL4Ilp2.215-1-mediated expression of PK1-RJF02690) results in increased adiposity.
