Abstract excerpt
Heat pulses elicit dramatic and rapid decreases in the levels of the D. melanogaster period (per) and timeless (tim) proteins (i.e., PER and TIM). To investigate the possible role of the heat shock pathway in this response, we used Drosophila bearing a conditional allele of the hsf gene (termed hsf4), which encodes the heat shock transcription factor (HSF). At all times in a daily cycle, heat-induced decreases in...
