The R35D04 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.

Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.VT043656 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04 reduces the ability of males to orient towards and remain close to a female, compared to controls; they also lose the bias seen in controls to extend the wing closest to, rather than furthest from, the female; following of females, wing extensions and copulation are significantly reduced, compared to controls; courtship of decapitated (immobile) females is unaffected, compared to controls; this inhibition does not affect the ability of adult males to track a rotating grating or a bar, but they are less able to track small fly-sized objects, with no effect on the overall distribution of turning and walking speeds and no effect on movement in the absence of motion stimuli, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pairs of Scer\GAL4DBD.R91B01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04, Scer\GAL4DBD.R22D06 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04, or Scer\GAL4DBD.R80E07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04, in adult males does not affect their ability to orient towards and remain close to a female, compared to controls; in the case of Scer\GAL4DBD.R91B01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04, but not Scer\GAL4DBD.R22D06 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04, or Scer\GAL4DBD.R80E07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04, wing extensions are significantly reduced, compared to controls, with no effect on following of females.
Feminization (using traUAS.cFa) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pairs of Scer\GAL4DBD.VT043656 and Hsap\RELAAD.VT040012, or Scer\GAL4DBD.VT043656 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04, in adult males does not affect tracking or courtship of females, compared to controls.
Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1::Csub\ChRCsChrimson.IVS.20xUAS.Venus with 627 nm (red) light) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.VT043656 and Hsap\RELAAD.R35D04 in adult males results in significantly increased wing extensions, compared to controls, with no increase in turning.
