Consists of a truncated per gene in which the promoter and a portion of the first (non-coding) exon are deleted.
Promoterless 7.2kb genomic fragment of per.
7.2kb fragment that contains all the per coding DNA, but is missing much of the non-coding DNA, including exon 1.
Rescue circadian behavioural rhythms of per01 flies. Exhibit free-running, temperature-compensated behavioural rhythms and can also entrain and re-entrain to LD cycles.
Long cycle duration, the evening peak of activity is shifted to a later time than wild type.
per01 flies transformed with this allele are frequently rhythmic, though circadian periods are slightly longer than the normal range.
The pronounced circadian rhythm of close-proximity encounters seen in wild-type male:female pairs is lost when the male is hemizygous for per01. This phenotype is not rescued by P{perC7.2}2.
Circadian rhythms in olfactory responses to ethyl acetate are abolished in per01 mutants that also have the P{perC7.2} transgene.
Rescues the arrhythmicity of per01 flies.
per expression, with respect to behavioural circadian rhythms, is dosage compensated.
