Circadian control of oscillations in mitochondrial rate-limiting enzymes and nutrient utilization by PERIOD proteins [PDF]
Significance Mitochondria are major cellular energy suppliers and have to cope with changes in nutrient supply and energy demand that naturally occur throughout the day. We obtained the first, to our knowledge, comprehensive mitochondrial proteome around the clock and identified extensive oscillations in mitochondrial protein abundance that ...

Circadian period is compensated for repressor protein turnover rates in single cells [PDF]
Most mammalian cells have molecular circadian clocks that generate widespread rhythms in transcript and protein abundance. While circadian clocks are robust to fluctuations in the cellular environment, little is known about the mechanisms by which the circadian period compensates for fluctuating metabolic states.

Decoupling circadian clock protein turnover from circadian period determination [PDF]
Defining necessary circadian clock elements The circadian clock in organisms as diverse as fungi and humans have a rather similar structure: Timing depends on daily cycles of transcription in circuits in which feedback loops control the timing of oscillations.

GRK2 Fine-Tunes Circadian Clock Speed and Entrainment via Transcriptional and Post-translational Control of PERIOD Proteins [PDF]
The pacemaker properties of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) circadian clock are shaped by mechanisms that influence the expression and behavior of clock proteins.

Regulation of αENaC expression by the circadian clock protein Period 1 in mpkCCDc14 cells [PDF]
The epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) mediates the fine-tuned regulation of external sodium (Na) balance. The circadian clock protein Period 1 (Per1) is an aldosterone-induced gene that regulates mRNA expression of the rate-limiting alpha subunit of ENaC (αENaC).

Antibodies Against the Clock Proteins Period and Cryptochrome Reveal the Neuronal Organization of the Circadian Clock in the Pea Aphid [PDF]
Circadian clocks prepare the organism to cyclic environmental changes in light, temperature, or food availability. Here, we characterized the master clock in the brain of a strongly photoperiodic insect, the aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, immunohistochemically with antibodies against A.

Heterogeneous expression of the core circadian clock proteins among neuronal cell types in mouse retina. [PDF]
Circadian rhythms in metabolism, physiology, and behavior originate from cell-autonomous circadian clocks located in many organs and structures throughout the body and that share a common molecular mechanism based on the clock genes and their protein ...

Age-Related Changes in the Expression of the Circadian Clock Protein PERIOD in Drosophila Glial Cells [PDF]
Circadian clocks consist of molecular negative feedback loops that coordinate physiological, neurological, and behavioral variables into “circa” 24-h rhythms.

Codon usage affects the structure and function of the Drosophila circadian clock protein PERIOD [PDF]
Codon usage bias is a universal feature of all genomes, but its in vivo biological functions in animal systems are not clear. To investigate the in vivo role of codon usage in animals, we took advantage of the sensitivity and robustness of the Drosophila circadian system.

Heme Binding to the Mammalian Circadian Clock Protein Period 2 Is Nonspecific [PDF]
The mammalian circadian clock synchronizes physical and metabolic activity with the diurnal cycle through a transcriptional-posttranslational feedback loop. An additional feedback mechanism regulating clock timing has been proposed to involve oscillation in heme availability.
