Abstract:
In two decades, the study of circadian rhythms in cyanobacteria has gone from observations of phenomena in intractable species to the development of a model organism for mechanistic study, atomic-resolution structures of components, and reconstitution of a circadian biochemical oscillation in vitro. With sophisticated biochemical, biophysical, genetic, and genomic tools in place, the circadian clock of the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus is poised to be the first for which a systems-level understanding can be achieved.
