Abstract excerpt
The cyanobacterial circadian-related protein, Pex, accumulates in the dark period of the diurnal light-dark cycle. After the diurnal cycle, an approximately 3 h advance in the phase of the circadian bioluminescence rhythm is observed in pex-deficient mutants, as compared with the wild type. However, it is unclear what type of photosensing mechanism regulates the accumulation and the phase change. In monochromatic...
