Sequence encoding a lexA::VP16 driver has been inserted at the first codon of the fru[M] open reading frame. This allows for expression of the lexA::VP16 driver in the same pattern as transcripts from the fru[M] (P1) promoter, which is transcribed in both males and females.

fru4-40/fruP1.LexA adult males do not have the male-specific ventrolateral protocerebrum projection neuron 1; there is no effect on its absence from the female.
mSG neuron projections in the subesophageal ganglion (SOG) are defective in the brains of fruFLP/fruP1.LexA adult males; the bilateral projections that usually extend toward the tritocerebrum are significantly reduced, similar to those seen in fruFLP/+ females.
fruP1.LexA has the expected characteristics of a "fru[M]" null allele.
Midline crossing by foreleg gustatory receptor neuron (GRN) axons is nearly absent in fruP1.LexA/fruP1.LexA, fruP1.LexA/fru4-40 and fruP1.LexA/frusat15 XY animals.
Nearly all XY fruP1.LexA/fruΔC animals show complete loss of midline crossing by foreleg GRN axons.
dsxΔ, fruP1.LexA, dsx1, Df(3R)Exel6179 is a non-suppressor of increased occurrence of cell division | female limited | adult stage phenotype of NKK102890, Scer\GAL4NP7397
Dper\dsx+t31M5, Dper\fru+t36N18, dsxΔ/dsx1, fruP1.LexA/fruAJ96u3 has abnormal song phenotype
dsxΔ, fruP1.LexA, dsx1, Df(3R)Exel6179 is a non-suppressor of adult posterior midgut epithelium | female limited phenotype of NKK102890, Scer\GAL4NP7397
dsxΔ/dsx1, fruP1.LexA/Df(3R)Exel6179 individuals do not show significant changes in mitotic index in the female and male adult posterior midgut, as compared to controls.
fruP1.LexA/Df(3R)Exel6179, dsx1/dsxΔ double transheterozygosity does not suppress the increased mitotic index in the female adult posterior midgut induced by the adulthood-only expression of NKK102890 under the control of Scer\GAL4esg-NP7397 (and Gal80[ts], for the temporal regulation of expression).
The normal order of behaviours is seen in the courtship behaviours elicited in intact solitary males expressing TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa under the control of either Scer\GAL4fru.P1.B, Scer\GAL4fru.P1.D, Scer\GAL4dsx-GAL4 or Scer\GAL4dsx.Δ2 at 27 or 29[o]C, in that wing extension is always induced before abdomen bending. This ordering is lost if the males are also carrying fruP1.LexA/fru4-40.
Solitary males expressing TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa under the control of Scer\GAL4dsx.Δ2 in a fruP1.LexA/fru4-40 background at 27[o]C show approximately equal unilateral and bilateral wing extension.
fruP1.LexA/frusat15 is rescued by fruMC.UAS.Tag:AU1/Scer\GAL4Poxn.14
Male-typical crossing of the midline by foreleg gustatory receptor neuron (GRN) axons is restored in XY fruP1.LexA/frusat15 animals by expression of fruMC.Scer\UAS.T:BPV-1\AU1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Poxn.14.
