The negative feedback model of molecular biological clock. Recent studies from both mammals and flies suggest that the protein partners of clock are also evolutionary conserved (named BMAL). CLOCK-BMAL dimers were shown to transactivate the expression of period and timeless genes. Furthermore, PER-TIM plays a role as the repressor of CLOCK-BMAL-mediated reporter induction.
