The R52H09 enhancer fragment followed by the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) is fused upstream of the p65(AD)::Zip+ hemidriver (component of a 'split driver' system, contains the p65 activation domain).
Comment: when combined with P{R34A03-GAL4.DBD} (combination referred to as 'MB186B')

Blocking synaptic transmission (using shits1.IVS.p10.20xScer\UAS at 33[o]C) from neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 combination of Scer\GAL4DBD.R18F09 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52H09 does not significantly impair visual (aversive color discrimination conditioning) memory performance, compared to controls.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa at 28.5[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52H09, but not Scer\GAL4DBD.R18F09 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52H09, in adult males or females significantly decreases the amount of sleep, compared to controls; activation does not significantly affect locomotor activity of awake adult males, compared to controls.
Inhibition (using shi1.UAS at 33[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R34A03 and Hsap\RELAAD.R52H09 in adults does not significantly affect aversive or appetitive 1-min olfactory memory, compared to controls.
