摘要
Within the past 18 months, common regulatory patterns have emerged among eukaryotic circadian systems - extending from fungi through to mammals. Heterodimeric complexes of PAS-domain-containing transcription factors play positive roles in clack-associated feedback loops, and classic clock proteins like FREQUENCY (FRQ), PERIOD (PER), and TIMELESS (TIM) appear as negative elements. Post-transcriptional control governs the amount and type of FRQ and makes the clock responsive to temperature.
