UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of GαqJF02464 under the control of any of the following: Scer\GAL4Rh5-G, Scer\GAL4Rh6-G, Scer\GAL4TrpA1-AB-G4 or Scer\GAL4TrpA1-CD-G4 results in impaired thermotactic behavior in late third instar larvae (120 hr AEL): unlike controls, they display no strong preference for cooler temperatures (18[o]C) in a temperature gradient. Expression under Scer\GAL4trp.PP has no significant effect on the larval thermal preferences.
