UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Expression of Gas41GD4100 under the control of Scer\GAL4Tub.PU from larval hatching onwards leads to defects in third instar salivary gland polytene chromosomes (smaller and with a thin and disorganized structure).
Adults expressing Gas41GD4100 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.
