New findings on the internalclock of the fruit fly currentbiology
, the researchers examined, for the first time, the counterpart of NKCC—the potassium chloride cotransporter KCC, which transports chloride ions out of the cell.
"What is interesting," says Eick,"is that the two cotransporters NKCC and KCC, as well as the kinases Wnk and Fray are—from an evolutionary point of view—very old proteins which occur not only in flies, but also in mammals. It was already known in the case of mammals—but not of flies—that the activity of NKCC and its counterpart plays an important role in the internal clock.
The results of the study in detail: the team demonstrated that flies in which one of the three influencing factors examined is particularly active or inactive show an abnormal rhythmic behavior under constant light. Normally, flies have no behavioral rhythm in constant light conditions as there is one essential protein in the molecular clock which is degraded in light, thus disturbing the function of the clock.
