Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation02:19

Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation

4.5K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

Proteomics

9.2K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Chronopharmacokinetics: Circadian Rhythms and Influence on Drug Response

311
Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
The time of drug administration is an important factor to consider, as it can influence the toxic dose of a drug. For example, a study conducted by Prins et al. in 1997 examined the effects of the timing of...

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses02:45

Biological Clocks and Seasonal Responses

41.4K
The circadian—or biological—clock is an intrinsic, timekeeping, molecular mechanism that allows plants to coordinate physiological activities over 24-hour cycles called circadian rhythms. Photoperiodism is a collective term for the biological responses of plants to variations in the relative lengths of dark and light periods. The period of light-exposure is called the photoperiod.

Area of Science:

  • Chronobiology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • The circadian clock is an internal timekeeper regulating physiology and behavior.
  • Circadian gene expression studies have primarily used transcriptomics, revealing tissue-specific rhythms.
  • Advances in mass spectrometry now allow proteome-wide circadian analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of the circadian clock in regulating protein expression dynamics.
  • To integrate transcriptomic and proteomic data for a comprehensive understanding of circadian regulation.
  • To identify the key regulatory mechanisms driving rhythmic protein oscillations.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of circadian gene expression using transcriptomics.
  • Application of mass spectrometry for proteomic profiling.
  • Integration of multi-omics data to identify regulatory patterns.

Main Results:

  • Circadian rhythms are observed in many protein-encoding genes in a tissue-specific manner.
  • Rhythmic protein oscillations are driven by transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational regulation.
  • The study highlights the multifaceted nature of circadian control over protein dynamics.

Conclusions:

  • Circadian clock regulation extends beyond transcription to post-transcriptional and post-translational levels.
  • Understanding these multiple layers of control is crucial for deciphering circadian biology.
  • Future research should focus on the interplay of these regulatory mechanisms in circadian systems.
