The VT023830 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{VT040232-p65.AD} (combination referred to as 'b2-SG')
Silencing (using Ctet\TeTxLCTNT.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.VT023830 and Hsap\RELAAD.VT040232 in adult males does not affect courtship song, wing extension toward females, or copulation success, compared to controls; take off and forced flight ability are significantly impaired, compared to controls.
