Mechanism and reconstitution of circadian transcription in cyanobacteria.
Nat.Struct.Mol.Biol., 33:275-281, 2026

PubMed Abstract: Circadian biological clocks evolved across kingdoms of life as an adaptation to predictable cycles of sunrise and sunset. In the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus, a protein-based clock precisely controls when different genes are turned on and off during the 24-h day but the phasing mechanism remains unclear. Here we show the molecular basis of this regulation and reconstitute clock-controlled transcription in vitro using purified components. Biochemical and structural analyses revealed that the clock-regulated transcription factor RpaA can function as either an activator or a repressor of cyanobacterial RNA polymerase, depending on its binding position relative to core promoter elements. Leveraging the repressor mechanism, we developed a heterologous in vitro system driven by bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase that sustains circadian transcription for multiple days. These findings explain how a single clock output generates opposite phases of gene expression and define the minimal components for circadian clock function, enabling synthetic or biotechnological applications.
