UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing CG9308GD2140 during adulthood under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PI and Scer\GAL80ts.αTub84B are viable and female flies lay a similar number of eggs per day to controls. Male fertility is also unaffected.
Adults expressing CG9308GD2140 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 20-30% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 expression domain, depending on the insertion line used.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 results in the absence of 0% or 10-20% of the Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237-expressing area of the notum, depending on the insertion line used.
