The GMR71D01 enhancer fragment followed by the Drosophila synthetic core promoter (DSCP) is fused upstream of the GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain).

In a split-GAL4 system, Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 drives expression in antennal grooming descending neuron 1 when combined with Hsap\RELAAD.R18C11, in antennal grooming brain interneuron 1 and the adult central complex when combined with Hsap\RELAAD.R11B11, and in antennal grooming descending neuron 1, antennal grooming brain interneuron 1, the optic lobe and thoracico-abdominal ganglion when combined with Hsap\RELAAD.R34C03. Antennal grooming descending neuron 1 neurons were seen in close proximity to Ecol\lexAGMR26B12 expressing antennal grooming brain interneuron 2 and Ecol\lexAGMR27H08 expressing zone C/E Johnston organ neurons. Positive GRASP (GFP reconstitution across synaptic partners) signals were seen between C/E Johnston organ neurons and antennal grooming descending neuron 1 using these drivers.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa at 30-31[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R11B11 or Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R18C11 results in a significant increase of antennal grooming behavior compared to control flies; this phenotype persists following antennal amputation.
Thermogenetic activation (using TrpA1Scer\UAS.(B).cKa at 30-31[o]C) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R34C03 results in a significant increase of antennal grooming behavior compared to control flies; there is a further significant increase in antennal grooming behavior following antennal amputation.
Optogenetic activation (using Cnoc\ChR1Cs.IVS.20xUAS.Venus with red light activation) of neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R18C11 induces antennal grooming, which does not persist beyond (some grooming bouts even ending prior) to red light cessation.
Hsap\RELAAD.R11B11, Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS, Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 is a suppressor | partially of abnormal grooming behavior | heat sensitive phenotype of Ecol\lexAGMR27H08, TrpA113xlexAop.JFRC26
Inhibition of synaptic release (using Ctet\TeTxLCTNT.Scer\UAS) in neurons targeted by the split-GAL4 pair of Scer\GAL4DBD.R71D01 and Hsap\RELAAD.R11B11 significantly partially suppresses the increase in antennal grooming seen in flies with thermogenetic activation (using TrpA113xlexAop.JFRC26 at 30-31[o]C) of Ecol\lexAGMR27H08 neurons.
