UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of jvlGD11011 using Scer\GAL4neur-P72 results in a tapering bristle that ends with a swollen tip characterized by mis-orientated actin ridges.
Adults expressing jvlGD11011 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 under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in bristle morphology defects on the notum in 0% or 80-90% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
