Resetting the suprachiasmatic nucleus clock.
Recent research on the cellular basis of circadian rhythmicity has stressed the importance of clock genes for the maintenance of normal rhythmicity. There have been tremendous advances in our understanding of the inter-relationships of the various genes known to generate the rhythms. We know relatively little, however, about the way animals maintain their rhythmicity under normal seasonally cha...
متن کاملResetting the Clock Dexras1 Defines a Path
The signaling pathways by which light and activity shift the circadian clock are not well understood. In this issue of Neuron, Cheng et al. analyze mice lacking Dexras1 (a Ras family GTPase protein) and demonstrate an important role for G(i/o) signaling mediating both photic and nonphotic phase shifts of the circadian clock.
متن کاملRapid resetting of the mammalian circadian clock.
The suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) contain the principal circadian clock governing overt daily rhythms of physiology and behavior. The endogenous circadian cycle is entrained to the light/dark via direct glutamatergic retinal afferents to the SCN. To understand the molecular basis of entrainment, it is first necessary to define how rapidly the clock is reset by a light pulse. We used a two-pulse ...
متن کاملPhase-resetting mechanism of the circadian clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Although the circadian clock is a self-sustaining oscillator having a periodicity of nearly 1 d, its period length is not necessarily 24 h. Therefore, daily adjustment of the clock (i.e., resetting) is an essential mechanism for the circadian clock to adapt to daily environmental changes. One of the major cues for this resetting mechanism is light. In the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas re...
متن کاملELF3 modulates resetting of the circadian clock in Arabidopsis.
The Arabidopsis early flowering 3 (elf3) mutation causes arrhythmic circadian output in continuous light, but there is some evidence of clock function in darkness. Here, we show conclusively that normal circadian function occurs with no alteration of period length in elf3 mutants in dark conditions and that the light-dependent arrhythmia observed in elf3 mutants is pleiotropic on multiple outpu...
