Expression of a Mef2 repressor or knocking down Mef2 expression in clock neurons disrupts circadian behavioral rhythms. A, Representative double-plotted actograms from UAS-Mef2-EnR (left panels) and UAS-Mef2RNAi (right panels) flies in DD crossed to either y w control flies (top row), Pdf-Gal4 (center panel) and tim(UAS)-Gal4 flies (bottom panels). The Pdf-Gal4 line crossed to UAS-Mef2-EnR had two copies of the Pdf0.5-Gal4 driver. The Pdf-Gal4 and tim(UAS)-Gal4 flies crossed to UAS-Mef2RNAi flies also had a UAS-Dcr-2 transgene. B, Representative Lomb–Scargle periodograms for tim(UAS)-Gal4/+; UAS-Dcr-2/UAS-Mef2RNAi flies from day 1 to 6 (left) and from day 6 to 12 (right) show the decrease in power of the rhythm in the second half of the assay.
