UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Larvae expressing cpbGD9299 under the control of Scer\GAL4how-24B show a decrease in the number of boutons and in presynaptic arbor expansion at the neuromuscular junction (normalised to muscle area) compared to controls.
Expression of cpbGD9299 under the control of Scer\GAL4ap.PU or Scer\GAL4hh.PU results in overgrowth of the expressing region of the wing disc, in dorsal or posterior compartments, respectively.
Adults expressing cpbGD9299 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.
