Transcriptional feedback loops are central to the architecture of eukaryotic circadian clocks. Models of the Arabidopsis thaliana circadian clock have emphasized transcriptional repressors, but recently, Myb-like REVEILLE (RVE) transcription factors have been established as transcriptional activators of central clock components, including PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR5 (PRR5) and TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (TOC1). We show here that NIGHT LIGHT-INDUCIBLE AND CLOCK-REGULATED1 (LNK1) and LNK2, members of a small family of four LNK proteins, dynamically interact with morning-expressed oscillator components, including RVE4 and RVE8. Mutational disruption of LNK1 and LNK2 function prevents transcriptional activation of PRR5 by RVE8. The LNKs lack known DNA binding domains, yet LNK1 acts as a transcriptional activator in yeast and in planta. Chromatin immunoprecipitation shows that LNK1 is recruited to the PRR5 and TOC1 promoters in planta. We conclude that LNK1 is a transcriptional coactivator necessary for expression of the clock genes PRR5 and TOC1 through recruitment to their promoters via interaction with bona fide DNA binding proteins such as RVE4 and RVE8.
