UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an RNAi construct which targets sequence encoding the CG9960 open reading frame (ORF). This ORF is part of a dicistronic transcript that encodes both Snapin and CG9960, and expression of both these genes is down-regulated by this RNAi construct.
Possible off-target effects (low probability).
Targets multiple paralogous genes.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in viable flies.
Expression of P{GD12574} under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) results in viable flies.
Adults expressing P{GD12574} 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.
Expression of P{GD12574} under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver results in viable flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in viable flies.
