Project description:Casein Kinase 2 (CK2) is an evolutionarily conserved kinase protein that phosphorylates a plethora of cellular target protein involved in processes including DNA repair, cell cycle control, and circadian rhythms. CK2 is functionally conserved across all eukaryotes, although the substrate proteins identified in targeted experiments on a diverse range of complex tissues are often different. A growing interest exists to identify conserved, core signalling principles essential to eukaryotic life. To efficiently study generic roles of CK2 in the cellular circadian clock, we used a minimal eukaryotic model organism (Ostreococcus tauri). Overexpression of CK2 leads to a slow circadian rhythm, verifying functional conservation of CK2 in cellular timekeeping. CK2 activity contributes more strongly to the clock around dusk than around dawn, and analysis of the phospho-proteome at this time revealed a strong overrepresentation of potential CK2 sites. Large changes to the phospho-proteome are reported here upon overexpression of CK2, identifying a set of CK2-responsive phospho-sites. To identify more CK2-specific phosphorylation events, the phospho-proteome of cells treated with CK2 inhibitor were analysed and compared to the overexpression lines. We thus report a full inventory of the CK2-responsive phospho-proteome to inform studies into CK2 activity in the circadian clock of more complex tissues, as science moves to understand and modulate cellular circadian rhythms to help us negate the negative effects of shiftwork or cross-continental travel.

Project description:Virtually every mammalian tissue exhibits rhythmic expression in thousands of genes, which activate tissue-specific processes at appropriate times of the day. Much of this rhythmic expression is thought to be driven cell-autonomously by molecular circadian clocks present throughout the body. However, increasing evidence suggests that systemic signals, and more specifically rhythmic food intake (RFI), can regulate rhythmic gene expression independently of the circadian clock. To determine the relative contribution of cell autonomous clocks versus RFI in the regulation of rhythmic gene expression, we developed a system that allows long-term manipulation of the daily rhythm of food intake in the mouse, and analyzed liver gene expression by RNA-Seq in mice fed ad libitum, only at night, or arrhythmically (mouse eating 1/8th of their daily food intake every 3 hours). We show that 70% of the cycling mouse liver transcriptome loses rhythmicity under arrhythmic feeding. Remarkably, this loss of rhythmic gene expression under arrhythmic feeding is independent of the liver circadian clock, which continues to exhibit normal oscillations in core clock gene expression. Many genes that lose rhythmicity participate in the regulation of metabolic processes such as lipogenesis and glycogenesis, likely contributing to an increased sensitivity to insulin that was observed in arrhythmically-fed mice. We also show that night-restricted feeding significantly increases the number of rhythmically expressed genes as well as the amplitude of the rhythms. Together, these results indicate that metabolic transcription factors control a large fraction of the rhythmic mouse liver transcriptome, and demonstrate that systemic signals driven by rhythmic food intake play a more important role than the cell-autonomous circadian clock in driving rhythms in liver gene expression and metabolic functions.

Project description:Odor discrimination behavior displays circadian fluctuations in mice indicating that mammalian olfactory function is under control of the circadian system. This is further supported by the facts that odor discrimination rhythms depend on the presence of clock genes and that olfactory tissues contain autonomous circadian clocks. However, the molecular link between circadian function and olfactory processing is still unknown. In order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying this link, we focused on the olfactory epithelium (OE), the primary target of odors and the site of the initial events in olfactory processing. We asked whether olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) within the OE possess an autonomous circadian clock and whether olfactory pathways are under circadian control. Employing clock gene-driven bioluminescence reporter assays, immunohistochemistry and a time-dependent microarray-based transcriptome analysis on OE samples, we found robust circadian rhythms of core clock genes and their proteins in OSNs, suggesting that the OE indeed contains an autonomous circadian clock. Furthermore, we identified several OSN-specific components of the olfactory pathway that are under circadian control, including several candidates with putative roles in circadian olfactory processing, such as KIRREL2 -- an established factor involved in short-term OSN activation. The spatiotemporal expression patterns of our candidate proteins suggest that they are involved in short-term anabolic processes to rhythmically prepare the cell for peak performances and to promote circadian function of OSNs. We performed a genome-wide expression study with RNA from OE tissue extracted at 4-h intervals in constant darkness from previously entrained mice. Total RNA of four mice per sampling time was pooled in equal amounts.

Project description:Circadian rhythms are generated by an auto-regulatory feedback loop composed of transcriptional activators and repressors. Disruption of circadian rhythms contributes to Type 2 diabetes (T2D) pathogenesis. We elucidated whether altered circadian rhythmicity of clock genes is associated with metabolic dysfunction in T2D. Transcriptional cycling of core clock genes BMAL1, CLOCK, and PER3 was altered in skeletal muscle from individuals with T2D and this was coupled with reduced number and amplitude of cycling genes and disturbed circadian oxygen consumption. Inner-mitochondria associated genes were enriched for rhythmic peaks in NGT, but not T2D, and positively correlated with insulin sensitivity. ChIP-sequencing identified CLOCK and BMAL1 binding to inner-mitochondrial genes associated with insulin sensitivity, implicating regulation by the core clock. Inner-mitochondria disruption altered core-clock gene expression and free-radical production, phenomena that were restored by resveratrol treatment. We identify bi-directional communication between mitochondrial function and rhythmic gene expression, processes which are disturbed in diabetes.

Project description:Circadian rhythms are a series of endogenous autonomous 24-hour oscillations generated by the circadian clock. At the molecular level, the circadian clock is generated by a transcription-translation feedback loop, where BMAL1 and CLOCK transcription factors of the positive arm activate the expression of CRYPTOCHROME and PERIOD (PER) genes of the negative arm as well as the circadian clock-regulated genes. In this project, we aimed at finding the interactome of PER2 protein in human U2OS osteosarcoma cell line using proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID) technique. U2OS clones overexpressing PER2-BioID2 or BioID2 were treated with dexamethasone in order to reset the circadian rhythm, and cells were then incubated in biotin-containing media for 12 hours to label the proteins in close proximity of PER2-BioID2. Samples were collected after 36 and 48 hours of the resetting to identify the labeled proteins by mass spectrometry. In addition to known interactors such as CRY1 and CRY2, many novel interactors were identified. In summary, we obtained a network of PER2 interactome and confirmed some of the novel interactions using classical the co-immunoprecipitation method.

Project description:In mammals, the circadian clock consists of transcriptional and translational feedback loops through DNA cis-elements such as E-box and RRE. In this study, we established mutant mice deficient for rhythmic transcription of Bmal1 gene by deleting its upstream RRE elements. We observed apparently normal circadian rhythms in the mutant, but the circadian period and amplitude of the mutants were more susceptible to disturbance of CRY1 protein rhythm. Our findings demonstrate that the RRE-mediated feedback regulation of Bmal1 underpins the E-box-mediated rhythm in cooperation with CRY1-dependent posttranslational regulation of BMAL1 protein, thereby conferring the perturbation-resistant oscillation and chronologically organized output of the circadian clock.

Project description:Circadian RNA expression is essential to ultimately regulate a plethora of downstream rhythmic biochemical, physiological, and behavioral processes. Both transcriptional and post transcriptional mechanisms are considered important to drive rhythmic RNA expression, however, the extent to which each regulatory process contributes to the rhythmic RNA expression remains controversial. To systematically address this, we monitored RNA dynamics using metabolic RNA labeling technology during a circadian cycle in mouse fibroblasts. We find that rhythmic RNA synthesis is the primary contributor of 24 hr RNA rhythms, while rhythmic degradation is more important for 12 hr RNA rhythms. These rhythms were predominantly regulated by Bmal1 and/or the core clock mechanism, and interplay between rhythmic synthesis and degradation has a significant impact in shaping rhythmic RNA expression patterns. Interestingly, core clock RNAs are regulated by multiple rhythmic processes and have the highest amplitude of synthesis and degradation, presumably critical to sustain robust rhythmicity of cell-autonomous circadian rhythms. Our study yields invaluable insights into the temporal dynamics of both 24 hr and 12 hr RNA rhythms in mouse fibroblasts.
