A 2111 base pair fragment from the flanking non-coding or intronic region of CG8204 is fused upstream of a Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) followed by sequence encoding a GAL4 driver.
Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of Scer\GAL4VT017247 cells in adult females significantly increases their copulation rate in response to pulse song at a range of inter-pulse intervals, compared to controls.
