Project description:Daily (circadian) clocks are essential for regulating and coordinating physiology in mammals. Modulation of local chromatin structure has been shown for only a small number of genes, principally thought to be directly modulated by Clock-mediated histone acetylation. Here we show that genome-wide changes of active and suppressive histone marks control global chromatin architecture over the day and night. Examination of mouse liver tissue at 4 time-points around the clock in "free-running", continuous conditions (constant darkness, temperature and food available ad libitum).

Project description:The Eastern North American monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is notorious for its spectacular seasonal long-distance migration. In recent years, it has also emerged as a novel system to study how animal circadian clocks keep track of time and regulate ecologically relevant daily rhythmic activities and seasonal behavioral outputs. However, unlike Drosophila and the mouse, little work has been undertaken in the monarch to identify clock-controlled output genes and elucidate the regulation of their rhythmic expression. Here, we used RNA-sequencing and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC)-sequencing to profile the diurnal transcriptome, open chromatin regions, and transcription factor (TF) footprints in the brain of wild-type monarchs and Cryptochrome 2 (Cry2), Clock (Clk), and Bmal1 (named DCyc-like) butterfly mutants with impaired clock function. We identified 366 rhythmic transcripts under circadian clock control belonging to biological processes key to brain function, such as neurotransmission, neuropeptide signaling, and glucose metabolism. Surprisingly, we found no significant time of day and genotype-dependent changes in chromatin accessibility (i.e., cis-regulatory elements) in the brain. Instead, we found the existence of a temporal regulation of TFs occupancy within open chromatin regions in the vicinity of rhythmic genes in the brains of wild-type monarchs, which is abolished in clock deficient mutants. Our data suggest that TFs binding specifically in the middle of the day display pioneer-like activity by increasing the accessibility of the surrounding chromatin, while TFs binding specifically in the middle of the night would bind DNA with a longer residency time without affecting accessibility of the surrounding chromatin. Together, this work identifies for the first time the clock-controlled genes and modes of regulation by which diurnal transcription rhythms are regulated in the monarch brain. It also illustrates the power of ATAC-seq to profile genome-wide regulatory elements and TF binding in unconventional organisms.

Project description:Daily rhythms in mammalian behaviour and physiology are generated by a multi-oscillator circadian system entrained through environmental cues (e.g. light and feeding). The presence of tissue niche-dependent physiological time cues has been proposed, allowing tissues the ability of circadian phase adjustment based on local signals. However, to date, such stimuli have remained elusive. Here we show that daily patterns of mechanical loading and associated osmotic challenge within physiological ranges reset circadian clock phase and amplitude in cartilage and intervertebral disc tissues in vivo and in tissue explant cultures. Hyperosmolarity (but not hypo-osmolarity) resets clocks in young and ageing skeletal tissues and induce genome-wide expression of rhythmic genes in cells. Mechanistically, RNAseq and biochemical analysis revealed the PLD2-mTORC2-AKT-GSK3β axis as a convergent pathway for both in vivo loading and hyperosmolarity-induced clock changes. These results reveal diurnal patterns of mechanical loading and consequent daily surges in osmolarity as a bona fide tissue niche-specific time cue to maintain skeletal circadian rhythms in sync.

Project description:The natural histories of various parasite-host interactions that involve adaptive manipulation of host behavior describe a time-of-day synchronization of certain events. One example is the manipulated biting behavior observed in Carpenter ants infected with Ophiocordyceps unilateralis sensu lato. Field observations in Thailand demonstrated that manipulated biting takes place around solar noon. Laboratory work with species from South Carolina, demonstrated a shift of this synchronized biting event to the early morning. We therefore hypothesize that biological clocks play an important role in these and other parasite-host interactions. To set the stage for our future research into this, we, here, aimed to explore if fungal species of the complex O. unilateralis s.l. have a functional molecular clock. We, therefore, performed RNA-Seq on time course samples of the recently sequenced species Ophiocordyceps kimflemingiae. Fungal blastospores grown in liquid media were harvested under cycling light-dark and continuous darkness conditions. Rhythmic mRNA levels were assessed with JTK_CYCLE. We found that O. kimflemingiae is not hugely rhythmic under our sampling conditions, but rhythmicity can be observed. Moreover, we identified functional homologs of known clock genes. In addition, our data indicated that regulation of transcription appears to take place during the light phase (day time). In contrast, the expression levels of a significant number of secreted enzymes, proteases, toxins and small bioactive compounds peaked during the dark phase (night time). This suggests that this fungal parasite might indeed rely on biological clocks for the precise daily timing of certain events and additionally validates further research into this.

Project description:Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators that drive organismal metabolism and physiology. Here, we report the first global in vivo quantification of circadian phosphorylation rhythms in mammals. Of more than 20,000 in vivo phosphosites, 25% significantly oscillate in the mouse liver, including novel sites on core clock proteins. Analyzing kinase substrate motifs, we find that the EGF/RAS/ERK pathway is predominantly activated during the day and the AKT/mTOR/p70S6K at night. The extent and amplitude of phosphorylation cycles dominate the rhythms of transcript and protein abundance. A dominant regulatory role for phosphorylation-dependent circadian tuning of signaling pathways allows the organism to rapidly and economically respond to daily changes in nutrient availability and integrate different signaling triggers.

Project description:The daily organisation of most mammalian cellular functions is attributed to circadian regulation of clock-controlled protein expression, driven by daily cycles of CRYPTOCHROME-dependent transcriptional feedback repression. To test this, we used quantitative mass spectrometry to compare wild type and CRY-deficient fibroblasts under constant conditions. In CRY-deficient cells, we found that temporal variation in protein, phosphopeptide, and K+ abundance was at least as great as wild type controls. Most strikingly. the extent of temporal variation within either genotype was much smaller than overall differences in proteome composition between WT and CRY-deficient cells. This proteome imbalance in CRY-deficient cells and tissues was associated with increased susceptibility to proteotoxic stress, which impairs circadian robustness, and may contribute to the wide-ranging phenotypes of CRY-deficient mice. Rather than generating largescale daily variation in proteome composition, we suggest it is plausible that the various transcriptional and post-translational functions of CRY proteins ultimately act to promote protein and osmotic homeostasis against daily perturbation.

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.
