Abstract

Many plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, have adapted to sense increasing temperature and respond by up-regulating genes responsible for growth. Recent studies have identified a three-protein circadian clock component, the Evening Complex (EC), a transcription repressor thought to be responsible for integrating temporal information with thermal signals from the environment to quickly enable this genetic response. One of these proteins, ELF3, contains a C-terminal prion-like domain (PrD) responsible for aggregation of the protein into large condensates, removing the complex from DNA and freeing up growth-related genes for transcription.
