UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
Expression of PTPMT1HMS02161 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act5C.PU leads to tracheal blackening in third instar larvae.
Expression of PTPMT1HMS02161 under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS leads to tracheal blackening in second instar larvae.
First instar larvae expressing PTPMT1HMS02161 under the control of Scer\GAL4btl.PS fail to fill their trachea with air upon completion of molting.
Females heterozygous for PlipHMS02161 and Scer\GAL4mat.αTub67C.T:Hsim\VP16 crossed to PlipHMS02161 males results in: 56% hatching; non-maternal effect.
