The R29G11 enhancer fragment is fused upstream of the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) followed by the GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain). An 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.R29G11 and Hsap\RELAAD.R48H08 in adults does not affect takeoff rates, compared to controls; spontaneous takeoffs are similar in duration to those of controls.
Silencing (using Hsap\KCNJ2IVS.10xUAS.EGFP) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R29G11 and Hsap\RELAAD.R48H08 in adults substantially and significantly reduces takeoff rates in response to looming stimuli, compared to controls; it also eliminates all aspects of giant fiber cell activity seen in controls in response to looming stimuli.
Blocking synaptic transmission (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xScer\UAS at 33[o]C) from neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 combination of Scer\GAL4DBD.R29G11 and Hsap\RELAAD.R26E07 does not significantly impair visual (aversive color discrimination conditioning) memory performance, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 28.5[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R29G11 and Hsap\RELAAD.R26E07 in adult males or females does not significantly affect the amount of sleep, compared to controls; activation does not significantly affect locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.
