Disease relevance of Synpcc7942_1216

  • A kaiC-interacting sensory histidine kinase, SasA, necessary to sustain robust circadian oscillation in cyanobacteria [1].
  • Both regulated expression of the clock genes kaiA, kaiB, and kaiC and interactions among the Kai proteins are proposed to be important for circadian function in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 [1].
  • We also found that a promoter derived from E. coli is feedback controlled by KaiC and restores the complete circadian rhythm in kaiBC-inactivated arrhythmic mutants, provided it can express kaiB and kaiC genes at an appropriate level [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Synpcc7942_1216

  • Hybridization and sequence analyses showed that the observed amplification products had a high degree of similarity to kaiC [6].
