UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing PGRP-SC1bGD5490 under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver show significantly reduced survival on day 6 after a shift to 29[o]C compared to control flies.
Adults expressing PGRP-SC1bGD5490 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Co-expression of PGRP-SC1bGD5490 using Scer\GAL4elav-C155 ameliorates the Hsap\APParctic.Aβ42.Scer\UAS.att phenotypes: the flies show improved climbing and survival.
