UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of rswlHMC02423 under the control of either Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL or Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI leads to lethality as no flies manage to eclose and in case of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL-driven expression the larvae even fail to pupariate. Flies expressing rswlHMC02423 RNAi under the Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI driver display modest but reproducible delay in pupariation.
Expression of rswlHMC02423 under the control of Scer\GAL4ple.PF does not impair adult climbing abilities.
Expression of rswlHMC02423 under the control of Scer\GAL4αTub84B.PL does not cause any obvious mitochondrial morphology defects in larval brain neuroblasts.
