The current best candidates for Arabidopsis thaliana clock components are CCA1 (CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1) and its homolog LHY (LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL). In addition, five members of a small family, PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATORS (including PRR1, PRR3, PRR5, PRR7 and PRR9), are believed to be another type of clock component. The originally described member of PRRs is TOC1 (or PRR1) (TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1). Interestingly, seedlings of A. thaliana carrying a certain lesion (i.e. loss-of-function or misexpression) of a given clock-associated gene commonly display a characteristic phenotype of light response during early photomorphogenesis. For instance, cca1 lhy double mutant seedlings show a shorter hypocotyl length than the wild type under a given fluence rate of red light (i.e. hypersensitivity to red light). In contrast, both toc1 single and prr7 prr5 double mutant seedlings with longer hypocotyls are hyposensitive under the same conditions. These phenotypes are indicative of linkage between the circadian clock and red light signal transduction mechanisms. Here this issue was addressed by conducting combinatorial genetic and epistasis analyses with a large number of mutants and transgenic lines carrying lesions in clock-associated genes, including a cca1 lhy toc1 triple mutant and a cca1 lhy prr7 prr5 quadruple mutant. Taking these results together, we propose a genetic model for clock-associated red light signaling, in which CCA1 and LHY function upstream of TOC1 (PRR1) in a negative manner, in turn, TOC1 (PRR1) serves as a positive regulator. PRR7 and PRR5 also act as positive regulators, but independently from TOC1 (PRR1). It is further suggested that these signaling pathways are coordinately integrated into the phytochrome-mediated red light signal transduction pathway, in which PIF3 (PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTOR 3) functions as a negative regulator immediately downstream of phyB. 相似文献

Environmental time cues, such as photocycles (light/dark) and thermocycles (warm/cold), synchronize (entrain) endogenous biological clocks to local time. Although much is known about entrainment of the Arabidopsis thaliana clock to photocycles, the determinants of thermoperception and entrainment to thermocycles are not known. The Arabidopsis PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR (PRR) genes, including the clock component TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1/PRR1, are related to bacterial, fungal, and plant response regulators but lack the conserved Asp that is normally phosphorylated by an upstream sensory kinase. Here, we show that two PRR family members, PRR7 and PRR9, are partially redundant; single prr7-3 or prr9-1 mutants exhibit modest period lengthening, but the prr7-3 prr9-1 double mutant shows dramatic and more than additive period lengthening in the light and becomes arrhythmic in constant darkness. The prr7-3 prr9-1 mutant fails both to maintain an oscillation after entrainment to thermocycles and to reset its clock in response to cold pulses and thus represents an important mutant strongly affected in temperature entrainment in higher plants. We conclude that PRR7 and PRR9 are critical components of a temperature-sensitive circadian system. PRR7 and PRR9 could function in temperature and light input pathways or they could represent elements of an oscillator necessary for the clock to respond to temperature signals. 相似文献

Together with PRR1/TOC1, PRR5 belongs to the small family of Pseudo-Response Regulators (PRRs), which function as clock components of Arabidopsis thaliana. We employed a set of transgenic lines, each of which was designed to misexpress a truncated form of the PRR5 molecule, together with the original transgenic line (named PRR5-ox) that misexpresses the entire PRR5 polypeptide. The results of genetic analysis suggested that PRR5-ox seedlings showed a phenotype of hypersensitivity to red light during early photomorphogenesis in a manner dependent on red light photoreceptors (PhyA and PhyB), but independent of PRR1/TOC1. The set of newly constructed transgenic lines (named PRR5-N-ox and PRR5-C-ox) were also characterized in terms of circadian-associated phenotypes. The results suggest that the N-terminal pseudo-receiver domain of the PRR5 molecule seems to be dispensable for the misexpressed PRR5 molecule to bring about the phenotype of red light sensitivity. However, PRR5-N-ox plants, misexpressing only the pseudo-receiver domain, showed a phenotype of long period of free-running circadian rhythms of certain clock-controlled genes. Considering these and other results, we discuss the structure and function of PRR5 in the context of current views of the circadian clock in higher plants. 相似文献

Every member of a small family of Pseudo-Response Regulator (PRR) genes, including Timing of Cab Expression 1 (TOC1 [or PRR1]), are believed to play roles close to the circadian clock in the model higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In this study we established a transgenic line that misexpresses (or overexpresses) the PRR7 gene. As compared with wild-type plants, the resulting PRR7-misexpressing plants (designated PRR7-ox) showed characteristic phenotypes as to hallmarked circadian-associated biological events: (i) early flowering in a manner independent of photoperiodicity, (ii) hypersensitive response to red light during early photomorphogenesis, and (iii) altered free-running rhythms with long period of clock-associated genes. Finally, a series of all transgenic lines (PRR1-ox, PRR3-ox, PRR5-ox, PRR7-ox, and PRR9-ox) were characterized comparatively with regard to their clock-associated roles. The results suggested that the five homologous PRR factors play coordinate roles, distinctively from one another, and closely to the circadian clock in higher plants. 相似文献

Members of the small family of Arabidopsis PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATORS (PRR1/TOC1, PRR3, PRR5, PRR7, and PRR9) play roles close to the circadian clock in Arabidopsis thaliana. We have reported that the rice (Oryza sativa) genome also encodes a set of PRR counterparts (designated OsPRR1, OsPRR37, OsPRR59, OsPRR73, and OsPRR95 respectively). To gain new insight into the molecular functions of OsPRRs, we carried out genetic complementation analyses by introducing two representative rice genes, OsPRR1 and OsPRR37, into the corresponding Arabidopsis loss-of-function mutants (toc1 and prr7 respectively). The results showed that these OsPRR and AtPRR genes are genetically interchangeable at least in part, suggesting the conserved clock-associated function of these OsPRRs. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis thaliana, it is currently accepted that certain mutants with lesions in clock-associated genes commonly display hallmarked phenotypes with regard to three characteristic biological events: (i) altered rhythmic expression of circadian-controlled genes, (ii) changes in flowering time, and (iii) altered sensitivity to red light in elongation of hypocotyls. During the course of examination of the clock-associated mutants of PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATORS, PRRs, including TOC1 (PRR1), we found that they commonly show another visible phenotype of anomalous greening responses upon the onset to light exposure of etiolated seedlings. These findings are indicative of a novel link between circadian rhythms and chloroplast development. 相似文献

Many core oscillator components of the circadian clock are nuclear localized but how the phase and rate of their entry contribute to clock function is unknown. TOC1/PRR1, a pseudoresponse regulator (PRR) protein, is a central element in one of the feedback loops of the Arabidopsis clock, but how it functions is unknown. Both TOC1 and a closely related protein, PRR5, are nuclear localized, expressed in the same phase, and shorten period when deficient, but their molecular relationship is unclear. Here, we find that both proteins interact in vitro and in vivo through their conserved N‐termini. TOC1–PRR5 oligomerization enhances TOC1 nuclear accumulation two‐fold, most likely through enhanced nuclear import. In addition, PRR5 recruits TOC1 to large subnuclear foci and promotes phosphorylation of the TOC1 N‐terminus. Our results show that nuclear TOC1 is essential for normal clock function and reveal a mechanism to enhance phase‐specific TOC1 nuclear accumulation. Interestingly, this process of regulated nuclear import is reminiscent of similar oligomeric pairings in animal clock systems (e.g. timeless/period and clock/cycle), suggesting evolutionary convergence of a conserved mechanism across kingdoms. 相似文献

In Arabidopsis thaliana, central circadian clock genes constitute several feedback loops. These interlocking loops generate an ~24-h oscillation that enables plants to anticipate the daily diurnal environment. The identification of additional clock proteins can help dissect the complex nature of the circadian clock. Previously, LIGHT-REGULATED WD1 (LWD1) and LWD2 were identified as two clock proteins regulating circadian period length and photoperiodic flowering. Here, we systematically studied the function of LWD1/2 in the Arabidopsis circadian clock. Analysis of the lwd1 lwd2 double mutant revealed that LWD1/2 plays dual functions in the light input pathway and the regulation of the central oscillator. Promoter:luciferase fusion studies showed that activities of LWD1/2 promoters are rhythmic and depend on functional PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR9 (PRR9) and PRR7. LWD1/2 is also needed for the expression of PRR9, PRR7, and PRR5. LWD1 is preferentially localized within the nucleus and associates with promoters of PRR9, PRR5, and TOC1 in vivo. Our results support the existence of a positive feedback loop within the Arabidopsis circadian clock. Further mechanistic studies of this positive feedback loop and its regulatory effects on the other clock components will further elucidate the complex nature of the Arabidopsis circadian clock. 相似文献
