Casein kinase 2, circadian clocks, and the flight from mutagenic light.

Abstract excerpt

Circadian clocks play a fundamental role in biology and disease. Much has been learned about the molecular underpinnings of these biological clocks from genetic studies in model organisms, such as the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Here we review the literature from our lab and others that establish a role for the protein kinase CK2 in Drosophila clock timing. Among the clock genes described thus far, CK2 is...
