Abstract excerpt
We recently described the cikA (circadian input kinase A) gene, whose product supplies environmental information to the circadian oscillator in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. CikA possesses three distinct domains: a GAF, a histidine protein kinase (HPK), and a receiver domain similar to those of the response regulator family. To determine how CikA functions in providing circadian input, we...
