UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Over 50% of animals expressing dawGD5085 under the control of Scer\GAL4tub.PU have melanotic tumours.
Adults expressing dawGD5085 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.
