UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
The expression of nejHMS01507 under the control of Scer\GAL4SPARC-MI00329-GAL4 (and Dicer-2, for a more efficient RNAi) in the larval fat body induces defective secretion, including intracellular matrix material, as shown by the retention of both secr.GFP and Vkg.GFP.
Expressing nejHMS01507 under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.PU results in a significantly reduced number of branch points in the dendrites of class IV dendritic arborizing neurons in third instar larvae compared to wild-type controls.
