Intercellular Coupling Confers Robustness against Mutations in the SCN Circadian Clock Network
Molecular mechanisms of the mammalian circadian clock have been studied primarily by genetic perturbation and behavioral analysis. Here, we used bioluminescence imaging to monitor Per2 gene expression in tissues and cells from clock mutant mice. We discovered that Per1 and Cry1 are required for sustained rhythms in peripheral tissues and cells, and in neurons dissociated from the suprachiasmati...
متن کاملA Coupled Stochastic Model Explains Differences in Circadian Behavior of Cry1 and Cry2 Knockouts
In the mammalian suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a population of noisy cell-autonomous oscillators synchronizes to generate robust circadian rhythms at the organism-level. Within these cells two isoforms of Cryptochrome, Cry1 and Cry2, participate in a negative feedback loop driving circadian rhythmicity. Previous work has shown that single, dissociated SCN neurons respond differently to Cry1 an...
متن کاملSocial synchronization of circadian rhythmicity in female mice depends on the number of cohabiting animals.
Communal animals often engage in group activities that require temporal synchrony among its members, including synchrony on the circadian timescale. The principles and conditions that foster such collective synchronization are not understood, but existing literature hints that the number of interacting individuals may be a critical factor. We tested this by recording individual circadian body t...
متن کاملCircadian Rhythmicity by Autocatalysis
The temperature compensated in vitro oscillation of cyanobacterial KaiC phosphorylation, the first example of a thermodynamically closed system showing circadian rhythmicity, only involves the three Kai proteins (KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC) and ATP. In this paper, we describe a model in which the KaiA- and KaiB-assisted autocatalytic phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of KaiC are the source for ci...
متن کاملImpact of nutrients on circadian rhythmicity.
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the mammalian hypothalamus functions as an endogenous pacemaker that generates and maintains circadian rhythms throughout the body. Next to this central clock, peripheral oscillators exist in almost all mammalian tissues. Whereas the SCN is mainly entrained to the environment by light, peripheral clocks are entrained by various factors, of which feeding/fast...
