The GMR15B07 enhancer fragment followed by the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) is fused upstream of the GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain).
Comment: when combined with P{R15F02-p65.AD} (combination referred to as 'SS01256')

Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1Cs.IVS.20xUAS.Venus with 660 nm (red) light) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R15B07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R15F02, or the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R15B07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R57F07, halts forwards locomotion and significantly induces contraction of the abdomen, compared to controls; there is also induction of tail-lifting, not seen in controls.
