Together with PRR1/TOC1, PRR5 belongs to the small family of Pseudo-Response Regulators (PRRs), which function as clock components of Arabidopsis thaliana. We employed a set of transgenic lines, each of which was designed to misexpress a truncated form of the PRR5 molecule, together with the original transgenic line (named PRR5-ox) that misexpresses the entire PRR5 polypeptide. The results of genetic analysis suggested that PRR5-ox seedlings showed a phenotype of hypersensitivity to red light during early photomorphogenesis in a manner dependent on red light photoreceptors (PhyA and PhyB), but independent of PRR1/TOC1. The set of newly constructed transgenic lines (named PRR5-N-ox and PRR5-C-ox) were also characterized in terms of circadian-associated phenotypes. The results suggest that the N-terminal pseudo-receiver domain of the PRR5 molecule seems to be dispensable for the misexpressed PRR5 molecule to bring about the phenotype of red light sensitivity. However, PRR5-N-ox plants, misexpressing only the pseudo-receiver domain, showed a phenotype of long period of free-running circadian rhythms of certain clock-controlled genes. Considering these and other results, we discuss the structure and function of PRR5 in the context of current views of the circadian clock in higher plants.
