Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101 2004 1200 1205 Using oligonucleotide microarray hybridization, the authors show that virtually all yeast transcripts accumulate in an oscillatory fashion. The large majority of genes are expressed at peak level during the reductive phase of the 40 min respiratory oscillation. Moreover, the yeast respiratory clock gates DNA synthesis (S-phase) to a narrow time window during the reductive phase.

The results show that individual SCN neuron oscillators are coupled but display different phases in different regions of the SCN.

The authors show that mitosis but not S-phase is strongly gated by the circadian liver clock. This gating is probably accomplished by the circadian expression of various cell cycle regulators, most notably Wee1.

Yoo PERIOD2::LUCIFERASE real-time reporting of circadian dynamics reveals persistent circadian oscillations in mouse peripheral tissues Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101 2004 5339 5346 This is an important piece of work, demonstrating that circadian oscillators of peripheral tissues are much more robust than hitherto expected. These clocks keep ticking even in mice whose master pacemaker, the SCN, has been lesioned, albeit in an uncoordinated manner. The study thus suggests that the SCN synchronizes but does not reinforce peripheral circadian oscillations.

However, under constant conditions arrhythmic cyanobacteria are at least as fit as rhythmic ones.

This paper also suggests that the purported repressor PER2 can act as an activator when bound to NPAS2 via heme.
