RNAi constructs were obtained from VDRC for gce (KK101814, GD11178 and GD47465), Met (KK100638), Kr-h1 (KK107935), and SREBP (GD37641 and GD37640), as well as the genetically matched KK control (KK60100); and from the Bloomington TRiP collection for SREBP (34073) and the genetically matched TRiP control (GFP in valium10, 35786). Because the control stocks are generated in the same background as the RNAi lines used, the Gal4 parental control (e.g., yv; Mex-Gal4/+; tub-Ga80ts/UAS-GFP) is genetically matched to the experimental genotype (e.g., yv; Mex-Gal4/+; tub-Gal80ts/UAS-SREBP RNAi TRiP). The line referred to as UAS-Kr-h1GS is GS(2)73ES2b, which was isolated in a genetic screen for enhancer/suppressors of a large-eye phenotype caused by Dl overexpression in the Dominguez lab. Genomic DNA flanking the P-element insertions in the GS(2)73ES2b stock were recovered by inverse PCR and sequenced. A BLAST search with the obtained sequence produced perfect matches to the genomic region upstream of the Kr-h1 gene (26B5 Chromosome 2L: 6,082,603,...,6,096,498). Table 1. Full genotypes GSK2656157 molecular weight Fly husbandry Fly stocks were reared on a standard cornmeal/agar diet (5.5% cornmeal, 6% dextrose, 1.3% yeast, 0.55% agar supplemented with 0.18% nipagin and 2.9 ml/l propionic acid) or ��Iberian�� diet (4.4% wheat flour, 6% brown sugar, 3% yeast, 1% agar supplemented with 0.04% nipagin and 7.6 ml/l of propionic acid). All experimental flies were kept at 25��C expect for those containing temperature-sensitive regulation (tub-Gal80ts), which were set up at 18��C (restrictive temperature) and transferred to 29��C (permissive Oxygenase temperature) at the time when activation was needed in the specific experiment. For all experiments, experimental and control flies were handled in parallel and experienced the same temperature shifts and treatments. For the analysis of mating and JHa effects, virgin female flies were collected at eclosion, aged for 4�C5 days on standard food and then transferred for 3 days (7 days for flies harbouring the esgReDDM transgenes, as these flies show a delay in mating responses at 29��C) into new tubes in the presence of wild-type males (typically 4�C5 females + 6 males) or food supplemented with 1.5 mM methoprene (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, PESTANAL 33375, racemic mixture), added to freshly prepared food when still liquid but
