Drosophila ebony activity is required in glia for the circadian regulation of locomotor activity.

Suh Joowon, Jackson F Rob
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies suggest that glia may be required for normal circadian behavior, but glial factors required for rhythmicity have not been identified in any system. We show here that a circadian rhythm in Drosophila Ebony (N-beta-alanyl-biogenic amine synthetase) abundance can be visualized in adult glia and that glial expression of Ebony rescues the altered circadian behavior of ebony mutants. We demonstrate...
