The R17A04 enhancer fragment is fused upstream of the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) followed by the p65(AD)::Zip+ hemidriver (component of a 'split driver' system, contains the p65 activation domain). A Hsp70 transcriptional terminator is present.

Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1Cs.IVS.20xUAS.Venus with 590 nm (red) light) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R68A06 and Hsap\RELAAD.R17A04 in adults significantly increases takeoff rates, compared to controls; takeoffs are shorter in duration than spontaneous takeoffs in controls.
Silencing (using Hsap\KCNJ2IVS.10xUAS.EGFP) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R68A06 and Hsap\RELAAD.R17A04 in adults mildly reduces overall takeoff rates in response to looming stimuli, and significantly and substantially reduces the proportion of short takeoffs, compared to controls.
