UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of shnHMS01167 in the LNvs, under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf, renders 50% of flies arrhythmic, with a clear disorganisation of the activity profile, suggesting that shn is involved in locomotor circadian rhythms.
Expression of shnHMS01167 in C-I neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4221 results in ddaD neurons that have an increased number of dendritic branches compared to controls.
Expression of shnHMS01167 in C-IV neurons under the control of shnHMS01167 results in a reduction in total dendritic length in ddaC and v'ada neurons. The total number of dendritic branches is also reduced in ddaC neurons.
Co-expression of shnHMS01167 rescues the circadian phenotype seen upon overexpression of shn756.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE.
