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).

Diel pattern of circadian clock and storage protein gene expression in leaves and during seed filling in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) [PDF]
Background Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is an important source of protein supply for animal and human nutrition. The major storage globulins VICILIN and LEGUMIN (LEG) are synthesized from several genes including LEGA, LEGB, LEGJ and CVC (CONVICILIN).

A global search for novel transcription factors impacting the Neurospora crassa circadian clock
In order to identify new players modulating the circadian clock in the model Neurospora crassa, we adopted a reverse genetics strategy. Thus, we focused on transcription factors knockouts and crossed them to strains containing circadian luciferase ...

Age-dependent motor dysfunction due to neuron-specific disruption of stress-activated protein kinase MKK7. [PDF]
c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family and controls various physiological processes including apoptosis. A specific upstream activator of JNKs is the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7).

Plant responses to photoperiod [PDF]
Photoperiod controls many developmental responses in animals, plants and even fungi. The response to photoperiod has evolved because daylength is a reliable indicator of the time of year, enabling developmental events to be scheduled to coincide with ...

FRQ-CK1 interaction determines the period of circadian rhythms in Neurospora
Circadian clocks control daily rhythms of molecular and physiological activities. Here, the authors show that the interaction between proteins FRQ and CK1, rather than FRQ stability, is a major rate-limiting step in circadian period determination in the ...

The transcriptional repressor complex FRS7-FRS12 regulates flowering time and growth in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Most living organisms developed systems to efficiently time environmental changes. The plant-clock acts in coordination with external signals to generate output responses determining seasonal growth and flowering time.

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 ...
