A GAL4(DBD)::Zip- hemidriver (component of the 'Split GAL4' system, contains the GAL4 DNA-binding domain) has been inserted into the first, non-sex specific coding exon of dsx, such that the hemidriver is expressed under the control of endogenous dsx sequences.
The GMR41A01 enhancer fragment regulates expression of the p65(AD)::Zip+ hemidriver.
