VT036267 enhancer fragment is fused upstream of the GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain).
Comment: when combined with P{R37G12-p65.AD} (combination referred to as 'P-Fr-GAL4')
Inactivation of P-Fr neutrons by the expression of Ctet\tetXTNT-LC.UAS under the control of P-Fr split-Gal4 (Hsap\RELAAD.R37G12 with Scer\GAL4DBD.VT036267.PX) leads to resistance to sleep deprivation while it does not lead to any changes in the sleep/wake cycles, total duration of night time sleep, locomotion or mechanosensory responsiveness of flies when compared to control adults.
Thermogenetic activation of P-Fr neurons via expression of TrpA1UAS.(B).cKa under the control of P-Fr split-Gal4 (Hsap\RELAAD.R37G12 with Scer\GAL4DBD.VT036267.PX) leads to significantly less sleep at night time, and a significant increase in locomotion of flies during nighttime with no change during daytime when compared to control adults.
