The VT043920 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).
Comment: when combined with P{R91B01-GAL4.DBD} (combination referred to as 'SS03822')

Inhibition (using Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R91B01 and Hsap\RELAAD.VT043920 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.
