UAS regulatory sequences drive expression of a short inverted repeat.
The expression of scnyHMS02044 under the control of Scer\GAL44XHand induces some pre-adult lethality. Larvae show normal cardiac myofibrillar density and collagen (Pericardin) deposition levels, as compared to controls. Likewise, adults exhibit a mostly normal heart morphology (i.e. a significant decrease in myofibril density but no other obvious changes in collagen/Pericardin deposition or cardioblast number) and function (i.e. as shown by no changes in brain staining after dye injection into the heart cavity), as compared to controls.
