UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing AstA-R1GD713 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) can show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies, depending on the particular P{GD713} insertion line used.
