UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
The expression of PGRP-LEHMC05031 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tk.PS leads to fewer enteroendocrine cells and more lipid droplets in the adult anterior midgut.
Individuals expressing PGRP-LEHMC05031 under the control of Scer\GAL4He.PZ present a significantly increased bacterial load upon infection with the non-pathogenic E. coli, as compared to equally infected controls.
