  2. 0h Time in LL (h) 26 30 34 38 42 46 50 54 58 62 66 70 74 Genome-wide circadian rhythms ~ 12% RNA transcripts rhythmic in white light ~ 3,000 genes of 22,000 on array • Functional clustering • 68% of rhythmic transcripts also stress-regulated, (Kreps et al. 2002) Edwards et al. unpublished

  3. Mutant plants identify genes in the clockwork • Negative regulation during the day - CCA1/LHY • Positive regulation at night • Mathematical model to test potential for regulation ? Alabadi et al., 2001

  4. CAB/ LHCB  LUC protein code camera Luciferase (LUC) reporter • Luminescence reflects transcription rate of promoter • Unstable activity reports dynamic regulation • Spatial resolution, high throughput +

  5. CAB:LUC rhythm CCA1:LUCrhythm WT EARLY-FLOWERING 4(elf4): arhythmic in all conditions,Fails to express CCA1 elf4 Doyle et al., Nature, 2000 LUC: identifies mutants in clock genes EARLY-FLOWERING 3(elf3): arhythmic in light Hicks et al, Science, 1996 McWatters et al., Nature, 2000 Reed et al., Plant Phys. 2000

Functions of interlocking loops, multiple light inputs Understanding Model analysis

  9. Random Sobol Single-loop network model Locke, Millar and Turner, J Theor Biol, 2005. Global parameter search.

  10. Model- J. Locke Hypothetical components X, Y Cost function fit to WT and mutant behaviour Predicts X and Y expression X LHY TOC1 mRNA LHY mRNA LHY X TOC1 TOC1 TOC1 mRNA LHY mRNA Y Y Time (h) Interlocking loop model for Arabidopsis clock WT cca1;lhy

  11. Experiments to identify Y turn up a good candidate • Prediction = dashed line • M. Southern tested candidate genes by qRT-PCR. Data = crosses • Unexpected light response of GIGANTEA RNA matches prediction • GI also matches other predictions for Y from literature WT cca1;lhy

  13. Data analysis: CAB:LUC in 16h L:8h D Morton, Finkenstadt raw prepared synthesis rate

  14. Model: sde version of Parameter estimation: simple model for synthesis rate

  15. Comparison of WT and elf3 mutant waveforms • Quantify distinct features within the timeseries • Now apply to parameters of simple clock models WT elf3 mutant clock effect
