Circadian clock overview

Protein function

Encodes a component of the circadian clock.

Phenotype

Multiple mutant:
lwd1;lwd2 multiple mutant is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions. [Wu et al., 2008]

Single mutant:
lwd2 single mutant does not display any flowering-time phenotype. [Wu et al., 2008]

Remarks:
LWD1 and LWD2 proteins have 90% amino acid identity. [Wu et al., 2008]

Function:
Clock protein essential for the proper expression phase and period length of both the oscillator and output genes known to participate in photoperiod sensing. Required for the expression of APRR9, APRR7, and APRR5. Regulated by APRR9 and APRR7 at the transcriptional level, indicating the existence of a positive feedback loop within the circadian clock (PubMed:21357491). [Data from UniProt]
