UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of truncated (the first 4-57 nt, predicted to be a signal peptide for secretion, are removed) fit cDNA, tagged with Tag:HA.
Pre-starved adult flies expressing fitΔSP.Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of either Scer\GAL4ppl.PP or Scer\GAL4elav-C155 do not display any decrease in food consumption upon re-feeding compared to controls.
