UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Animals expressing Rim2GD807 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU reach the adult stage and live longer than controls. No effect on egg to adult viability is observed.
Adults expressing Rim2GD807 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.
