UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Females heterozygous for SdrGL00178 and MTD-Gal4 (consists of Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16, Scer\GAL4nos.PG and Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16) crossed to SdrGL00178 males results in: 100% hatching; non-maternal effect.
Expression of SdrGL00178 under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU results in larvae and adults that are larger than normal. Adult wing area is significantly increased compared to wild type.
Expression of SdrGL00178 under the control of either Scer\GAL4tub.PU or Scer\GAL80repo.PL results in adults with an increased body weight compared to controls.
Expression of SdrGL00178 under the control of either Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR, Scer\GAL4C855a, Scer\GAL4elav.PU, Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR or Scer\GAL4Cg.PA has no effect on adult body weight.
Expression of SdrGL00178 under the control of Scer\GAL4Sdr.3.5 results in adults with an increased body weight compared to controls. This increase is partially suppressed by co-expression of Scer\GAL80repo.PL.
