Journal ArticleDOI

Lesley A. Sawyer,J. Michael Hennessy,J. Michael Hennessy,Alexandre A. Peixoto,Alexandre A. Peixoto,Ezio Rosato,Ezio Rosato,Helen Parkinson,Helen Parkinson,Rodolfo Costa,Rodolfo Costa,Charalambos P. Kyriacou,Charalambos P. Kyriacou +12 more
TL;DR: Thr-Gly length variation from both wild-caught and transgenic individuals is related to the flies' ability to maintain a circadian period at different temperatures and gives a rare glimpse of the interplay between molecular polymorphism, behavior, population biology, and natural selection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural selection favors a newly derived timeless allele in Drosophila melanogaster

Kyriacou,Charalambos P. Kyriacou,Rodolfo Costa,Rodolfo Costa +24 more
TL;DR: It is reported that a mutation in the circadian clock gene timeless in Drosophila melanogaster has arisen and spread by natural selection relatively recently in Europe and when introduced into different genetic backgrounds, natural and artificial alleles of the timeless gene affect the incidence of diapause.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Molecular Basis for Natural Selection at the timeless Locus in Drosophila melanogaster
Federica Sandrelli,Eran Tauber,Mirko Pegoraro,Gabriella Mazzotta,Paola Cisotto,Johannes Landskron,Ralf Stanewsky,Alberto Piccin,Ezio Rosato,Mauro Agostino Zordan,Rodolfo Costa,Charalambos P. Kyriacou +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the ls-tim mutation in the Drosophila melanogaster clock gene timeless attenuates the photosensitivity of the circadian clock and causes decreased dimerization of the mutant TIMELESS protein isoform to CRYPTOCHROME, the circadian photoreceptor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of locomotor activity rhythms in Drosophila
TL;DR: In this protocol, the setup for studying locomotor activity rhythms in the fruit fly is described, the statistical methods in use in the authors' laboratories for the analysis of periodic data are introduced and the methods currently in use are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-dependent interaction between Drosophila CRY and the clock protein PER mediated by the carboxy terminus of CRY
Ezio Rosato,Veryan Codd,Gabriella Mazzotta,Gabriella Mazzotta,Alberto Piccin,Alberto Piccin,Mauro Agostino Zordan,Rodolfo Costa,Charalambos P. Kyriacou +8 more
TL;DR: Drosophila CRY interacts with PER, and, as in plants, the C terminus of CRY is involved in mediating light responses, and a model for the light dependence ofCRY is discussed.
