UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
The expression of PGRP-LCHMS00259 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tk.PS leads to fewer enteroendocrine cells and more lipid droplets in the adult anterior midgut.
Adult flies expressing PGRP-LCHMS00259 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI exhibit increased susceptibility to Coxiella burnetii: their post-infection survival rate is significantly reduced compared to controls.
