Show abstract
Arabidopsis circadian oscillators contain DNA-binding proteins that function at specific times of day. In contrast, we have discovered a continuous function of WD40-repeat scaffold proteins from the TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA-1 (TTG1), LIGHT REGULATED WD1 and LIGHT REGULATED LWD2 subfamily (TLWD) which is essential to maintain circadian rhythms. Gene expression analyses indicate multifunctional activity of TLWD in both transcriptional activation and repression. TLWD proteins interact with an array of circadian oscillator activators and repressors that act sequentially throughout the diel cycle. While TLWD proteins were known to participate in activator complexes, our data indicate a novel role of TLWD in transcriptional repression through complex formation with repressors from the PSEUDO RESPONSE REGULATOR (PRR) family. In an analogy to mechanical clocks, TLWD scaffold proteins constitute an ever-present arbor, or spindle, to which transcription factors, which represent the cogs, bind to sustain circadian rhythms.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
