The VT019911 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).

Silencing (using Ctet\TeTxLCTNT.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.VT019911 and Hsap\RELAAD.VT022025 in adult males significantly alters some parameters of pulse song and sine song, compared to controls; a similar number of males sing and wing extension toward females is unaffected, but copulation success is significantly reduced compared to controls; take off, but not forced flight, ability is significantly impaired compared to controls.
