UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of spideyKK100977 under the control of Scer\GAL4sal.BO (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) results in lethality at the L2/L3 transition, accompanied by tracheal defects.
Oenocytes of flies expressing spideyKK100977 under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 show a dramatic accumulation of lipid droplets as compared to controls.
