The Gr64c coding sequence has been replaced with sequence encoding a lexA::VP16 driver.
The Gr64c coding sequence has been replaced with sequence encoding a lexA::VP16 driver. A single loxP site is also present downstream of the inserted driver sequence.
Comment: Heterogeneous expression in S4-S9
EcollexAVP16.Gr64c drives expression in 3 (of 4) prothoracic leg tarsal taste bristles in tarsal segment 5 and 6 gustatory receptor neurons associated with the taste pegs. All of the labellar neurons and many of the tarsal S cells send projections to the adult subesophageal zone.
