GSK modulates the Neurospora circadian clock
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: The period length of the Neurospora circadian clock is dependent on expression levels of its core transcription factor WCC. Results: Glycogen Synthase Kinase (GSK) forms a complex with the WCC and regulates its abundance. Conclusion: GSK modulates the period length of the circadian clock. Significance: GSK is a novel clock component of Neurospora transducing signals to the core oscillator.

The PAS Protein VIVID Defines a Clock-Associated Feedback Loop that Represses Light Input, Modulates Gating, and Regulates Clock Resetting
vvd, a gene regulating light responses in Neurospora, encodes a novel member of the PAS/LOV protein superfamily. VVD defines a circadian clock-associated autoregulatory feedback loop that influences light resetting, modulates circadian gating of input by connecting output and input, and regulates light adaptation. Rapidly light induced, vvd is an early repressor of light-regulated processes. Fu...
متن کاملMechanism of the Neurospora Circadian Clock, a FREQUENCY-centric View
Circadian clocks are self-sustaining timekeepers found in almost all organisms on earth. The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a preeminent model for eukaryotic circadian clocks. Investigations of the Neurospora circadian clock system have led to elucidation of circadian clock regulatory mechanisms that are common to all eukaryotes. In this work, we will focus on the Neurospora circadian ...
متن کاملPosttranslational control of the Neurospora circadian clock.
The eukaryotic circadian clocks are composed of autoregulatory circadian negative feedback loops that include both positive and negative elements. Investigations of the Neurospora circadian clock system have elucidated many of the basic mechanisms that underlie circadian rhythms, including negative feedback and light and temperature entrainment common to all eukaryotic clocks. The conservation ...

The circadian clock of the plant model Arabidopsis thaliana modulates defense mechanisms impacting plant-pathogen interactions. Nevertheless, the effect of clock regulation on pathogenic traits has not been explored in detail. Moreover, molecular description of clocks in pathogenic fungi--or fungi in general other than the model ascomycete Neurospora crassa--has been neglected, leaving this typ...
متن کاملCATP is a critical component of the Neurospora circadian clock by regulating the nucleosome occupancy rhythm at the frequency locus.
Rhythmic frq transcription is essential for the function of the Neurospora circadian clock. Here we show that there is a circadian histone occupancy rhythm at the frq promoter that is regulated by FREQUENCY (FRQ). Using a combination of forward genetics and genome sequencing, we identify Clock ATPase (CATP) as an essential clock component. Our results demonstrate that CATP associates with the f...
