Abstract

A circadian histone occupancy rhythm at the frq promoter is regulated by FREQUENCY (FRQ).

  • Histone occupancy at the frq promoter exhibits a rhythmic pattern that is essential for clock function.
  • Clock ATPase (CATP) has been identified as a crucial component of the circadian clock.
  • CATP is shown to associate with the frq locus and other target genes of the clock.
  • The role of CATP includes promoting the removal of histones at these gene loci.
  • This histone removal facilitates the transcription of circadian genes, indicating its importance in clock regulation.
