UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expressing Lmx1aJF02194 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR42B09 induces a near-complete loss of ovariole material/ovaries and females do not lay any eggs. Scer\GAL4bab1-Agal4-5- or Scer\GAL4GMR35G09-driven expressions induce mild ovary defects but Scer\GAL4GMR35G09 females lay a similar number of eggs as controls. Scer\GAL4GMR79G07-driven expression does not induce any obvious ovary defect.
Adult flies expressing Lmx1aJF02194 under the control of Scer\GAL4Dot.PK display nephrocyte functional defects (measured by uptake assays) and reduced adult lifespan relative to controls.
