Key Points
-
Post-translational modifications are as, or even more, important than transcriptional regulation to finely tune circadian rhythms. Oscillations in period (PER) and cryptochrome (CRY) protein abundance levels might be sufficient to establish cycling.
-
Post-translation regulation of the localization, degradation and activity of circadian regulators by phosphorylation, sumoylation and histone acetylation all determine the length of the biological day.
-
Mutations in kinases and phosphatases alter both the core clock, and its ability to respond to environmental (light) cues.
-
The ubiquitin–proteasome pathway controls the degradation of most of the circadian regulatory proteins. Both slimb (SLMB) and β-transducin repeat-containing protein (βTrCP) and the newly identified jetlag are members of the SCF (SKP1–Cullin1–F-box protein) family of ubiquitin ligases that regulate rhythms.
-
Clock components do not exist independently of each other, but rather interact in large multiprotein complexes in which each protein's activity can regulate and be regulated by the others. The PER proteins are scaffolds that physically interact with a large number of other circadian regulators.
-
Sleep disorders are the consequence of misalignments between the endogenous circadian clock and the external environment. Many of the mutations and polymorphisms associated with circadian rhythms disorders affect either the clock kinases casein kinase Iɛ/δ or their substrates, the PER proteins.
Abstract
Getting a good night's sleep is on everyone's to-do list. So is, no doubt, staying awake during late afternoon seminars. Our internal clocks control these and many more workings of the body, and disruptions of the circadian clocks predispose individuals to depression, obesity and cancer. Mutations in kinases and phosphatases in hamsters, flies, fungi and humans highlight how our timepieces are regulated and provide clues as to how we might be able to manipulate them.
