UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of Nedd8HMS00818 RNAi under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU (using tub-Gal80[ts] to limit the RNAi expression to the adult stage) results in the loss of germline stem cell and death of differentiated cells in adult testes.
Ectopic expression of Nedd8HMS00818 under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 results in a nurse cell ring canal phenotype in the egg chambers: disorganized F-actin cytoskeleton, accumulation of the kel protein in the lumen and significantly smaller lumen diameter compared to wild-type.
