UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of Rnf146HMS02130 under the combined control of Scer\GAL4NP0001 and Gal80[ts] (and temperature shift to 29[o]C), but not when under the control of Scer\GAL4NP5130, induces a significant increase in the density of intestinal stem cells/enteroblasts, as well as an increase in intestinal stem cell proliferation (phospho-H3 staining) in the adult midgut, as compared to controls. Both of these expression conditions does not significantly affect lifespan under nutrient deprivation (5% sucrose diet).
