UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of CG5961JF01332 driven by Scer\GAL4GMR.PF at 25[o]C leads to a significant decrease in ommatidia and bristle number in the fly eye, compared to lacZ controls (the phenotype is further enhanced at 29[o]C). Expression of CG5961JF01332 driven by Scer\GAL4Ddc.PU significantly decreases lifespan in flies, compared to lacZ controls.
