UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
actin filament & dorsal mesothoracic disc, with Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096-KE
Adults expressing Vps4GD12054 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.
Depending on the insertion line used, expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR can result in early pupal lethality or late larval lethality.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in grossly normal larval body wall muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in sarcomeres with reduced Z-lines in the larval body wall muscles.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in lethality (either before or at the pupal stage), depending on the insertion line used.
Expression of Vps4GD12054 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096-KE results in disruption of the actin cytoskeleton in wing imaginal disc cells.
Larvae expressing Vps4GD12054 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096-KE continue to grow beyond the normal time of growth termination, become oversized and die shortly after delayed pupation.
Wing discs expressing Vps4GD12054 under the control of Scer\GAL4Bx-MS1096-KE form enlarged tubular structures which contain internal vesicles when characterised ultrastructurally (these structures are not seen in control discs). These structures are often irregular in shape and sometimes occupy most of the cell volume.
