UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Under normal diet conditions, the expression of Zip71BGD2461 under the control of either Scer\GAL4CG10962-NP1093 or Scer\GAL4NP3084 does not have a significant effect on the eclosion rate, but these flies exhibit significantly decreased eclosion rates when fed with zinc (but not copper, iron, or EDTA) supplemented food, as compared to control flies. Under normal or zinc-supplemented diet, third instar larvae expressing Zip71BGD2461 under the control of Scer\GAL4CG10962-NP1093 present a significant increase in the whole-body content of zinc, but not of Iron, Manganese or Copper, as compared to controls.
Ectopic expression of single copy of Zip71BGD2461 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long does not produce any defects in the adult eye, when two copies of Zip71BGD2461 as well as the Scer\GAL4GMR.long driver are used the eye displays moderate loss of pigmentation, compared to the double driver control.
Adults expressing Zip71BGD2461 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.

The co-expression of ZnT63CKK102261 does not suppress the decreased eclosion rate exhibited by animals expressing Zip71BGD2461 under the control of Scer\GAL4CG10962-NP1093 reared in zinc-supplemented food; under normal diet conditions, the co-expression of Zip71BGD2461 and ZnT63CKK102261 under the control of Scer\GAL4CG10962-NP1093 has no significant effect on the eclosion rate, as compared to animals only expressing either Zip71BGD2461 or ZnT63CKK102261 under the control of Scer\GAL4CG10962-NP1093.
The formation of Malpighian tubule stones in third instar larvae induced by the expression of ryHMS02827 under the control of Scer\GAL4CG10962-NP1093 is suppressed by the co-expression of Zip71BGD2461.
The morphological and pigmentation defects in the adult eye seen upon expression of ZnT86DScer\UAS.cDa under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long do not change upon co-expression of Zip71BGD2461 RNAi.
The adult eye phenotype seen upon expression of ZnT86DScer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long can be partially modified by co-expression of Zip71BGD2461 RNAi: the morphological defects are unchanged the pigmentation loss is mildly worsened.
The co-expression of Hsap\SLC39A5Scer\UAS.cYa, but not of Hsap\SLC39A4Scer\UAS.cYa, significantly increases the eclosion rate of animals expressing Zip71BGD2461 under the control of Scer\GAL4CG10962-NP1093 when reared under zinc-supplemented diet, but not when reared under normal diet.
Expression of Zip71BGD2461 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.long rescues the flat eye shape and loss of pigmentation induced by Zip71BScer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG expression.
