Abstract excerpt
Circadian rhythms in Drosophila are supported by a negative feedback loop, in which PERIOD (PER) and Timeless (TIM) shut down their own transcription as they translocate once a day from the cytoplasm of clock-containing cells to the nucleus. Period length is partially determined by an interval of cytoplasmic retention of the TIM and PER proteins. To study this process, we examined PER/TIM/Doubletime (DBT)...
