Decoding photoperiodic time through Per1 and ICER gene amplitude.
The mammalian Per1 gene is expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, where it is thought to play a critical role in the generation of circadian rhythms. Per1 mRNA also is expressed in other tissues. Its expression in the pars tuberalis (PT) of the pituitary is noteworthy because, like the suprachiasmatic nucleus, it is a known site of action of melatonin. The duration of the...
متن کاملEGR1 regulates hepatic clock gene amplitude by activating Per1 transcription
The mammalian clock system is composed of a master clock and peripheral clocks. At the molecular level, the rhythm-generating mechanism is controlled by a molecular clock composed of positive and negative feedback loops. However, the underlying mechanisms for molecular clock regulation that affect circadian clock function remain unclear. Here, we show that Egr1 (early growth response 1), an ear...
متن کاملReliability of frequency and amplitude decoding in gene regulation.
In biochemical signaling, information is often encoded in oscillatory signals. However, the advantages of such a coding strategy over an amplitude-encoding scheme of constant signals remain unclear. Here we study the dynamics of a simple model gene promoter in response to oscillating and constant transcription factor signals. We find that in biologically relevant parameter regimes an oscillatin...
متن کاملCoding and decoding for time-discrete amplitude-continuous memoryless channels
In this report we consider some aspects of the general problem of encoding and decoding for time-discrete, amplitude-continuous memoryless channels. The results can be summarized under three main headings. 1. Signal Space Structure: A scheme for constructing a discrete signal space, for which sequential encoding-decoding methods are possible for the general continuous memoryless channel, is des...
متن کاملPhotoperiodic Regulation of Flowering Time through Periodic Histone Deacetylation of the Florigen Gene FT
The developmental transition from a vegetative to a reproductive phase (i.e., flowering) is timed by the seasonal cue day length or photoperiod in many plant species. Through the photoperiod pathway, inductive day lengths trigger the production of a systemic flowering signal, florigen, to provoke the floral transition. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), widely conserved in angiosperms, is a major componen...
