Circadian clocks control gene expression in the complex milieu of cells. Here, we reconstituted under defined conditions in vitro the cyanobacterial circadian clock system which includes an oscillator, signal-transduction pathways, transcription factor, and promoter DNA. The system oscillates autonomously with a near 24 h period, remains phase coherent for many days, and allows real-time observation of each component simultaneously without user intervention. This reassembled clock system provides new insights into how a circadian clock exerts control over gene expression and can serve in the area of synthetic biology as a new platform upon which to build even more complexity. One Sentence SummaryAn autonomously oscillating circadian clock-controlled gene regulatory circuit is studied in vitro using a real-time high-throughput assay.
