UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of dbfGD9284 under the control of Scer\GAL4VP16.bam leads to aberrant spermatids containing mitochondrial derivatives of variable size associated with nuclei that are also different in size and number. It also leads to spermatocytes with more than two Asl-labeled foci.
Adults expressing CG17098GD9284 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.
Scer\GAL4VP16.bam, dbfGD9284 has spermatocyte phenotype, suppressible | partially by poloGD7563/Scer\GAL4VP16.bam
