The R72C08 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 Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pairs of Scer\GAL4DBD.R50D07 and Hsap\RELAAD.R72C08, or Scer\GAL4DBD.VT040747 and Hsap\RELAAD.R72C08, in adult males does not affect their ability to orient towards and remain close to a female, compared to controls; there is also no effect on following of females or wing extensions, compared to controls.
Split-GAL4 transgene, constructed as described in FBrf0212052.
