UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Adults expressing Rab23GD5158 under the control of the cardioblast-specific Scer\GAL4tin.CΔ4 driver show significantly reduced survival on day 6 after a shift to 29[o]C compared to control flies.
Adults expressing Rab23GD5158 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 of Rab23GD5158 driven by either Scer\GAL4salm.PU or Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU results in a multiple wing hair phenotype without affecting viability.
