Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

Clkar homozygous adults flies either entrained to 12h:12h light:dark cycles and then moved to constant darkness or entrained to 12h:12h 24[o] C:29 [o]C temperature cycles and then moved to constant 24[o]C show arrhythmicity under both entrainment condition; temperature entrained individuals fail to show anticipatory activity to temperature transitions.

The heart period in 5-week old Clkar mutant flies subjected to ad libitum feeding (ARF) is similar to controls. The heart period increases on 12-hour daytime-restricted feeding (TRF). The significant reduction in arrhythmia on TRF seen in wild type is not observed in Clkar mutant flies.

Homozygous flies are arrhythmic for locomotor activity.

Heterozygous animals exhibit a wild-type circadian locomotor rhythm. Homozygotes are arrhythmic. Clkar/Df(3L)HnD-1 and ClkJrk/Clkar animals are also arrhythmic. Under light:dark conditions homozygotes manifest a highly abnormal activity pattern: no lights-on startle response but a robust lights-off startle response. No measurable rhythmic activity is seen in constant darkness (DD), even during the first two days of DD.

Expression of cycScer\UAS.T:Hsim\VP16 under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE fails to rescue circadian locomotor activity rhythms in Clkar flies under constant darkness conditions, but in light-dark conditions most of the abnormal features of locomotor activity seen in Clkar flies are rescued (higher diurnal rather than night activity as well as the lights-on startle response is restored).

ClkT:SV5\V5 significantly rescues the arrhythmic locomotor behaviour of Clkar flies.

ClkΔ1-3.T:SV5\V5 poorly rescues the arrhythmic locomotor behaviour of Clkar flies.
