UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of a 500bp inverted repeat.
Third instar larvae expressing ppkNIG.3478R (together with UAS-Dicer2 to enhance RNAi efficiency) under the control of Scer\GAL4ppk.1.9 display hypersensitive behavioral response (shortened latency till response to 42[o]C thermal probe stimulus) in a thermal nociception assay.
However, ppkNIG.3478R RNAi expression does not affect dendrite coverage in the ddaC dorsal multidendritic neurons compared to controls.
Scer\GAL4da.PU/ppkNIG.3478R, Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B is a suppressor | heat sensitive of lethal - all die during pupal stage | heat sensitive phenotype of Scer\GAL4da.PU, Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B, fzrRNAi.UAS.WIZ
