20 copies of the UAS site are fused upstream of the shi1 coding region (this encodes a temperature-sensitive dominant negative form of shi). A small intron derived from the Mhc gene followed by a synthetic AT-rich 21bp sequence made by combining the Cavener consensus sequence with elements from the Malacosoma neustria nucleopolyhedrovirus (MnNPV) polyhedrin gene has been inserted between the promoter and coding sequences. The 3' UTR (666bp) from the Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcNPV) p10 gene is present downstream of the coding sequence.
Mushroom body gamma neurons expressing shits1.IVS.Syn21.p10.20xScer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Tab2-201Y show an axon pruning defect at the restrictive temperature (but not at the permissive temperature).
