Abstract excerpt
In the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, the circadian clock entrains to a daily light/dark cycle. The transcription factor Pex is abundant under dark conditions and represses kaiA transcription to fine-tune the KaiC-based core circadian oscillator. The transcription of pex also increases during exposure to darkness; however, its mechanism is unknown. We performed a molecular genetic study by...
