Additional Descriptive Data
	Expression of Pdf in the lateral neurons is first detected at about 6 hours into the first instar larval stage. (Malpel et al., 2002) Pdf gene is expressed in three cell types of the adults: four of the five small LNv neurons, two to four neurons close to the tritocerebrum, and four to six neurons of the abdominal neuromere. (Renn et al., 1999) Pdf is expressed in the small LNvs which are located in both anterior brain hemispheres between the central brain and medulla at the level of the esophageal foramen. The large LNvs give rise to a network of fibers that cover the anterior medulla and, via the posterior optic tract, the posterior medulla. Pdf staining generally appears weaker in the s-LNv Pdf neurons than the l-LNv neurons. (Helfrich-Forster, 1998) Pdf immunolocalization is exclusively found in the cytoplasm and arborizations of the neurons it is expressed in. (Rieger et al., 2006) Pdf is first seen expressed within four of the five s-LNv neurons 4-5hrs after hatching and is maintained through to adulthood. In late L1 larvae, Pdf expression is seen within 2-4 cells lying close to the dorsal cortex, and expression is also seen within eight neurons of the eighth abdominal neuromere. Both of these expression patterns remain into adulthood, though the Pdf expression in the cells of the fused adult abdominal ganglion is found only in four (with an occasional 2 extra) neurons. At approximately 50% of pupation, Pdf is expressed in the l-LNv neurons - 6-8 cells located in the lateral protocerebrum, generally anterior and dorsal to the s-LNv neuronal cluster, and continues through to adulthood. At the same time, Pdf expression becomes evident in 2-4 anterioventrally located cells close to the tritocerebrum, but this expression is lost by four days post-eclosion. (Helfrich-Forster, 1997) Pdf protein in the adult is expressed in the s-LNv Pdf positive neurons, l-LNv neurons and the Pdf neurons in the tritocerebrum. On the third instar larval stage it is expressed in the s-LNv Pdf neurons and Pdf neurons of the abdominal neuromere. (Blanchardon et al., 2001)

	Pdf is required for maintenance of circadian rhythms when flies are kept in constant darkness. (Peng et al., 2003) Pdf levels and cycling in the LNv neurons is unaffected in Fmr1 mutants. (Dockendorff et al., 2002) Pdf appears to be an important circadian mediator whose expression and function are downstream of the clockworks. (Park et al., 2000) Mutations in Pdf result in abnormalities in locomotor circadian rhythms. (Renn et al., 1999) Isolated to investigate relevence to modulation of circadian rhythms.
