UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing FASN2GD1555 under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 are not more sensitive to dessication stress as compared to controls. In mating choice assays, wild type flies do not exhibit a significant difference in preference for opposite sex flies expressing FASN2GD1555 under the control of Scer\GAL4insc-Mz1407 versus controls.
Expression of FASN2GD1555 under the control of Scer\GAL4sal.BO (in combination with a Dicer-2 transgene to enhance RNAi efficiency) does not result in larval lethality at the L2/L3 transition.
Adults expressing FASN2GD1555 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.
