Circadian rhythms in prokaryotes: luciferase as a reporter of circadian gene expression in cyanobacteria.
We have used a luciferase reporter gene and continuous automated monitoring of bioluminescence to demonstrate unequivocally that cyanobacteria exhibit circadian behaviors that are fundamentally the same as circadian rhythms of eukaryotes. We also show that these rhythms can be studied by molecular methods in Synechococcus sp. PCC7942, a strain for which genetic transformation is well establishe...
متن کاملMeasurement of luciferase rhythms.
Firefly luciferase (LUC) is a sensitive and versatile reporter for the analysis of gene expression. Transgenic plants carrying CLOCK GENE promoter:LUC fusions can be assayed with high temporal resolution. LUC measurement is sensitive, noninvasive, and nondestructive and can be readily automated, greatly facilitating genetic studies. For these reasons, LUC fusion analysis is a mainstay in the st...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms of locomotor activity in Drosophila.
Drosophila is by far the most advanced model to understand the complex biochemical interactions upon which circadian clocks rely. Most of the genes that have been characterized so far were isolated through genetic screens using the locomotor activity rhythms of the adults as a circadian output. In addition, new techniques are available to deregulate gene expression in specific cells, allowing t...
متن کاملCircadian rhythms.
1997 marks the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the master circadian pacemaker in mammals in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus. Remarkable progress has been made over the last 25 years in elucidating the physiological mechanisms involved in the entrainment, generation and expression of circadian rhythms at the cellular and systems levels. The recent discovery and cloning of the first...
متن کاملModeling the molecular regulatory mechanism of circadian rhythms in Drosophila.
Thanks to genetic and biochemical advances on the molecular mechanism of circadian rhythms in Drosophila, theoretical models closely related to experimental observations can be considered for the regulatory mechanism of the circadian clock in this organism. Modeling is based on the autoregulatory negative feedback exerted by a complex between PER and TIM proteins on the expression of per and ti...
