The GMR26A02 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).
The GMR26B12 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, HsapRELAAD.R26A02 drives expression in antennal grooming brain interneuron 2, the optic lobe, the adult pars intercerebralis, the thoracico-abdominal ganglion and the lateral part of the brain when combined with ScerGAL4DBD.R26B12.
In a split-GAL4 system, ScerGAL4DBD.R26B12 drives expression in antennal grooming brain interneuron 2, the optic lobe, the adult pars intercerebralis, the thoracico-abdominal ganglion and the lateral part of the brain when combined with HsapRELAAD.R26A02, and in antennal grooming brain interneuron 2, the adult central complex and the posterior part of the brain when combined with HsapRELAAD.R24C08. Antennal grooming brain interneuron 2 were seen in close proximity to EcollexAGMR27H08 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 brain interneuron 2 using these drivers.
