Abstract excerpt
The cyanobacterial circadian oscillator can be reconstituted by mixing the purified clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC with ATP in vitro, leading to a 24-h oscillation of KaiC phosphorylation. The cyanobacterial mutant pr1 carrying valine instead of alanine at position 422 of KaiC (KaiC-A422V) lost the ability to shift the phase of the circadian rhythm. In this study, we analyzed KaiC-A422V to investigate the...
