The R11D03 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.

Inhibition (using Hsap\KCNJ2UAS.EGFP) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R19C10 and Hsap\RELAAD.R11D03, or the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R61H02 and Hsap\RELAAD.R11D03, in adult females increases flight turning responses to very low-frequency motion stimuli, without affecting responses to higher frequency motion, compared to controls; in the case of Scer\GAL4DBD.R19C10 and Hsap\RELAAD.R11D03 inhibited cells show normal overall morphology.
Silencing of Lawf2 lamina neurons, using Hsap\RELAAD.R11D03.T:Zzzz\Zip+, Scer\GAL4DBD.R19C10.T:Zzzz\Zip- and Hsap\KCNJ2Scer\UAS.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP, results in enhancement of reverse-optomotor inversion at high speeds.
