The R20A03 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.

Silencing of L4 lamina output neurons, using Hsap\RELAAD.R20A03.T:Zzzz\Zip+, Scer\GAL4DBD.R31C06.T:Zzzz\Zip- and Hsap\KCNJ2Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP, impairs fly responses to monocular progressive but not regressive motion.
Activation of L4 lamina output neurons, using Hsap\RELAAD.R20A03.T:Zzzz\Zip+, Scer\GAL4DBD.R31C06.T:Zzzz\Zip- and TrpA1Scer\UAS.cUa, decreases fly responses to progressive motion and increases responses to regressive motion stimuli.
