Rheostatic Balance of Circadian Rhythm and Autophagy in Metabolism and Disease
Circadian rhythms are physical, behavioral and environmental cycles that respond primarily to light and dark, with a period of time of approximately 24 h.

A Circadian Clock inNeurospora:How Genes and Proteins Cooperate to Produce a Sustained, Entrainable, and Compensated Biological Oscillator with a Period of about a Day [PDF]
Neurospora has proven to be a tractable model system for understanding the molecular bases of circadian rhythms in eukaryotes. At the core of the circadian oscillatory system is a negative feedback loop in which two transcription factors, WC-1 and WC-2 ...

The Mammalian Circadian Clock Protein Period Counteracts Cryptochrome in Phosphorylation Dynamics of Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK) [PDF]
The circadian transcription factor CLOCK exhibits a circadian oscillation in its phosphorylation levels. Although it remains unclear whether this phosphorylation contributes to circadian rhythm generation, it has been suggested to be involved in transcriptional activity, intracellular localization, and degradative turnover of CLOCK.

Circadian clocks coordinate time-of-day-specific metabolic and physiological processes to maximize organismal performance and fitness. In addition to light and temperature, which are regarded as strong zeitgebers for circadian clock entrainment ...

Circadian PERIOD proteins sculpt the mammalian alternative splicing landscape
AbstractMammalian circadian oscillators are driven by a transcription-translation feedback loop where CLOCK:BMAL1 activity is repressed by the PER:CRY complex. While transcriptional regulation by PER is well established, the role of circadian feedback in co- and post- transcriptional processes remains unclear.

The circadian clock protein Period 1 regulates expression of the renal epithelial sodium channel in mice [PDF]
The mineralocorticoid aldosterone is a major regulator of sodium transport in target epithelia and contributes to the control of blood pressure and cardiac function. It specifically functions to increase renal absorption of sodium from tubular fluid via regulation of the alpha subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (alphaENaC).

A New Clock is Running for Multiple Myeloma: Circadian Clock Protein-Period 3 (PER-3) Polymorphism [PDF]
ABSTRACT Circadian Clock Protein PERIOD 3 (PER-3) is situated on chromosome 1p36.23 and has a polymorphic domain that expresses 4 or 5 copies of the 54-bp tandem repeat sequence. PER-3 gene polymorphisms play a role in the dysregulation of the immune system.

The tail of cryptochromes: an intrinsically disordered cog within the mammalian circadian clock
Cryptochrome (CRY) proteins play an essential role in regulating mammalian circadian rhythms. CRY is composed of a structured N-terminal domain known as the photolyase homology region (PHR), which is tethered to an intrinsically disordered C-terminal ...

Circadian Mutant Overtime Reveals F-box Protein FBXL3 Regulation of Cryptochrome and Period Gene Expression [PDF]
Using a forward genetics ENU mutagenesis screen for recessive mutations that affect circadian rhythmicity in the mouse, we isolated a long period (approximately 26 hr) circadian mutant named Overtime (Ovtm). Positional cloning and genetic complementation reveal that Ovtm is encoded by the F-box protein FBXL3, a component of the SKP1-CUL1-F-box-protein (
