UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
Circadian entrained flies expressing Atx2KK100423 under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.UAS show decreased rhythmicity upon shift to constant darkness conditions.
Expression of Atx2KK100423 under the control of Scer\GAL4cry.PE does not significantly affect the rhythmicity of adult circadian locomotor activity under free-running (~constant darkness) conditions.
Expression of Atx2KK100423 (co-expressed with Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa) under the control of Scer\GAL4Mz520 results in a long-period locomotor rhythm in constant dark conditions. Loss of rhythmicity is also seen when Atx2KK100423 and Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf.
When Atx2KK100423 is expressed in all circadian neurons under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE (either with or without Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa) the period of circadian locomotor darkness is lengthened to ~27 hours. A similar increase is seen when Atx2KK100423 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf. No phenotype is observed when Atx2KK100423 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE in combination with Scer\GAL80Pdf.PS to block transcription in Pdf cells.
Atx2KK100423 has abnormal circadian behavior phenotype, non-enhanceable by tyfΔ11
Atx2KK100423, Scer\GAL4tim.UAS has abnormal circadian rhythm | adult stage phenotype, suppressible | partially by Nab2KK101974, Scer\GAL4tim.UAS
Atx2KK100423, Scer\GAL4tim.PE has abnormal circadian behavior phenotype, suppressible by perUAS.cYa, Scer\GAL4tim.PE
Atx2KK100423 has abnormal circadian behavior phenotype, non-suppressible by tyfΔ11
Atx2KK100423, Scer\GAL4cry.PE is an enhancer of abnormal locomotor rhythm | adult stage phenotype of Scer\GAL4cry.PE, me31BNIG.4916R
Atx2KK100423, Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf is a non-enhancer of abnormal circadian rhythm | adult stage phenotype of Hsap\HTTN548.Q128.UAS, Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf
Atx2KK100423/Scer\GAL4tim.PE is a non-enhancer of abnormal circadian behavior phenotype of tyfΔ11
Atx2KK100423, Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf is a non-suppressor of abnormal circadian rhythm | adult stage phenotype of Hsap\HTTN548.Q128.UAS, Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf
Atx2KK100423/Scer\GAL4tim.PE is a non-suppressor of abnormal circadian behavior phenotype of tyfΔ11
Circadian entrained flies co-expressing Atx2KK100423 and Nab2KK101974 under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.UAS show increased circadian period and decreased rhythmicity power upon shift to constant darkness conditions.
The poor rhythmicity of adult circadian locomotor activity under free-running (~constant darkness) conditions observed in flies expressing me31BNIG.4916R under the control of Scer\GAL4cry.PE is further worsened by co-expression of Atx2KK100423.
Knocking down Atx2 expression (using Atx2KK100423 under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE) in a tyfΔ11 mutant background results in a similar increase in period length as is seen in either mutant alone.
Expression of perScer\UAS.cYa suppresses the lengthening of the circadian locomotor darkness period seen when Atx2KK100423 is expressed under the control of Scer\GAL4tim.PE.
The co-expression of Hsap\HTTQ0.UAS and Atx2KK100423 under the control of Scer\GAL4P2.4.Pdf leads to a moderate impairment of circadian behavior, as compared to Hsap\HTTQ0.UAS single expression and wild-type controls.
