UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Under constant darkness conditions, flies expressing domHMS01855 under the control of either Scer\GAL4tim.PE or Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf (in combination with Dicer-2, for more efficient RNAi), frequently lose circadian rhythmicity and circadian periods become longer, as compared to controls; upon expression under the combined control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE and Scer\GAL80Pdf.PS, periods become longer despite of no changes in rhythmicity, as compared to controls.
Under LD cycles, flies expressing domHMS01855 under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE (in combination with Dicer-2, for more efficient RNAi), do not show the expected morning peak of anticipatory activity.
Expression of domHMS01855 under the control of Scer\GAL4bbg-C96 results in a majority of flies exhibiting wing nicks, and some showing defective wing margins, in contrast to controls.
Expression of domHMS01855 under the control of Scer\GAL4nos.UTR.T:Hsim\VP16, Scer\GAL4nos.PG and Scer\GAL4otu.T:Hsim\VP16 causes significantly decreased female fertility, as compared to controls.
Expression of domHMS01855 under the control of Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 results in a significant reduction in egg-laying, as compared to controls.
Expression of domHMS01855 under the control of Scer\GAL4tj.PU or Scer\GAL4C587 leads to severe packaging defects during oogenesis, ranging from two cysts in a single egg chamber to complete ovariole fusions; many germaria show additional stalk-like structures without germline cysts, and egg laying is nearly completely abolished, as compared to controls.
