[Abstract]  Circadian rhythms are biological processes displaying an endogenous oscillation with a period of ~24 h. They allow organisms to anticipate and get prepared for the environmental changes caused mainly by the rotation of Earth. Circadian rhythms are driven by circadian clocks that consist of proteins, DNA, and/or RNA. Circadian clocks of cyanobacteria are the simplest and one of the best studied models. They contain the three clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC which can be used for in vitro reconstitution experiments and determination of the auto-phosphatase activity of KaiC as described in this protocol. [摘要]  昼夜节律是显示内源性振荡的生物过程,周期为〜24小时。它们允许生物体预期并准备好主要由地球旋转引起的环境变化。昼夜节律由由蛋白质,DNA和/或RNA组成的昼夜节律钟驱动。蓝藻的昼夜节律时钟是最简单的研究模型之一。它们含有三种时钟蛋白质KaiA,KaiB和KaiC,其可用于体外重组实验和本方案所述的KaiC的自磷酸酶活性的测定。

背景 行星地球的旋转导致〜24小时的昼夜振荡。为了适应并有效地利用环境的这种节奏变化,大多数(如果不是全部)生物体具有约24小时的内源性活动​​节律,这被称为昼夜节律。昼夜节律为这些生物提供进化优势。昼夜节律的长期破坏是非常有害的(Ma et al。,2013)。在人类中,包括癌症,高血压和睡眠障碍在内的许多疾病与昼夜节律紊乱密切相关(Shi等人,2013; Roenneberg和Merrow,2016)。
 昼夜节律由称为昼夜节律钟的内生节律发生器控制。功能性昼夜节律钟具有三个功能:接受环境信息,将环境提示转变为振荡信号,并将这些信号转发到下游调制器(Pattanayak和Rust,2014)。蓝细菌是具有良好研究的昼夜节律钟的最简单的生物体,其中振荡发生器由三种蛋白质控制:KaiA,KaiB和KaiC(Mackey等人,2011; Johnson& et al。 ...
