The APRR1/TOC1 Quintet Implicated in Circadian Rhythms of Arabidopsis thaliana: II. Characterization with CCA1-Overexpressing Plants

Abstract
We previously identified a novel class of proteins, named pseudo-response regulators (APRRs) in Arabidopsis thaliana, each of which (APRR1, APRR3, APRR5, APRR7, and APRR9) has an intriguing structural design containing an N-terminal pseudo receiver domain and a C-terminal CONSTANS motif. Among them, APRR1 is identical to TOC1, previously proposed to be a candidate component of an Arabidopsis circadian clock. Intriguingly, expressions of the APRR1/TOC1 family of genes are under control of coordinate circadian rhythms at the level of transcription, in the manner that each APRR-transcript starts accumulating sequentially after dawn with 2 to 3 h intervals in the order: APRR9
APRR7
APRR5
APRR3
APRR1/TOC1. Here we examined this circadian-related event, "circadian waves of the APRR1/TOC1 quintet", by employing CCA1-overexpression (CCA1-ox) transgenic plants, based on the fact that CCA1 is a well-characterized and the most plausible oscillator component. It was found that aberrant overexpression of the CCA1 gene severely perturbed free-running and sequential rhythms of the APRR1/TOC1 family of genes. In the accompanying paper, it was shown that overexpression of APRR1 also results in a marked alteration of the CCA1 circadian rhythm, and vice versa. Taken together, it was suggested that there are intimate and mutual links between these two types of circadian-associated components (APRRs and CCA1).
