Article Synopsis
- Light is crucial for resetting the circadian clock in organisms, with a focus on Chlamydomonas, where the degradation of the protein ROC15 plays a key role.
- Researchers identified a mutant strain that struggles with ROC15 degradation and phosphorylation in response to various light wavelengths, indicating that these signals might converge before affecting ROC15.
- Although the mutant has altered phase resetting due to light, its overall circadian rhythms remain stable under constant light or darkness, highlighting the complexity of light signaling in the circadian clock of Chlamydomonas.
