UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Flies expressing fblGD10556 under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE (In the presence or absence of Dcr-2, which is used to enhance the efficiency of RNAi) induces a decrease in adult lifespan compared to controls.
Adults expressing fblGD10556 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) show significantly reduced avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4Mef2.PR results in late larval lethality.
