Original VAChT allele and FRT-STOP-FRT-VAChT::HA allele. FRT-flanked transcriptional stop signal in the 5′ UTR constrains the expression of VAChT::HA. Removal of the stop cassette requires FLP recombinase, introduced by the Gal4/UAS system. Expression of the VAChT::HA is therefore restricted to cells with active endogenous regulatory sequences of VAChT that are, in addition, part of the Gal4 expression pattern. The 3xP3-dsRed sequence encodes a screenable eye marker. ORF, open reading frame.
