The circadian mating rhythm of D.melanogaster kept in constant darkness dark is altered by the presence of per+t13.2 : Peak mating activity occurs earlier (circadian time (CT) 6hours) than in wild-type flies (CT 9hours) and is maintained for the next 6 hours, rather than dropping off to a slightly lower plateau as in wild-type. There is a secondary peak at CT 0hours not seen in wild-type. In a mixed population, progeny resulting from mating between per+t13.2 carrying flies and Dpse\perper.PT carrying flies are less common than those between flies carrying the same transgene. (This data is for a population in which males have had there wings removed to eliminate mating song difference as a variable, kept in constant darkness.) 90 minute matings at particular points in the circadian cycle show that this effect is most pronounced at circadian time 12 hours, when the ratio is approximately 5:1 , and is greater than 2:1 at other circadian time points.
Circadian rhythm is the same as wild type.
Male D.melanogaster per01 flies carrying per+t13.2 produce courtship songs with a period of about 55 seconds, characteristic of D.melanogaster.
Rhythmicity is as strong as for flies with endogenous wild type per DNA.
Rescues the arrhythmicity of per01 flies.
Transgenic per01 flies are almost always rhythmic with near normal periodicities.
Rescues of the arrhythmicity of per01 flies as assayed by actogram.
per expression, with respect to behavioural circadian rhythms, is not fully dosage compensated.
