这项研究确定了NuA4复合体的组成部分BRD-8,对于调节神经的昼夜钟至关重要. 失去BRD-8会扰乱组织素乙化,改变昼夜基因表达,影响节律的持久性.
科学领域:
- 循环节生物学 日间生物
- 分子生物学分子生物学
- 染色体生物学 染色体生物学
背景情况:
- 神经的昼夜系统依赖于白领复合体 (WCC) 来调节频率 (frq) 基因.
- FRQ蛋白形成一个复合物,抑制WCC,创建一个负反循环.
- 希斯乙化在调节昼夜基因表达方面起着重要作用.
研究的目的:
- 为了识别神经菌昼夜系统的新型组件.
- 为了研究BRD-8的作用,一个NuA4复杂子单元,在昼夜节律调节.
主要方法:
- 基因查以识别改变昼夜节律的突变动物.
- 在昼夜基因中分析基因乙化水平和RNA聚合酶II占用率.
- 同免疫沉用于识别涉及BRD-8的蛋白质复合体.
主要成果:
- 失去brd-8会导致减少H4乙化和RNA聚合酶II在frq和其他昼夜基因的占用.
- brd-8突变体表现出较长的昼夜周期,延迟的阶段和缺陷的昼夜输出.
- BRD-8与NuA4复合体和转录延长调节器BYE-1相互作用.
- brd-8,bye-1和h2a.z组蛋白的表达是由生理时钟调节的.
结论:
- 像BRD-8这样的NuA4复合体的辅助子单元对于及时和动态的frq基因表达至关重要.
- 昼夜时钟通过BRD-8等组件调节染色质状态,反过来又通过染色质修饰来调节.
- BRD-8及其相关因素对于维持神经菌中正常和持续的昼夜节律至关重要.
