ELF3 and ELF4 play pivotal roles in the circadian clock mechanism and in the integration of light signals to the clock, but the molecular basis of ELF3 and ELF4 action is poorly understood. This work uses multidisciplinary approaches to identify and characterize these clock factors as members of a dusk complex that works as a repressor to sustain rhythms of the circadian oscillator.
