Post-transcriptional regulation contributes to Drosophila clock gene mRNA cycling.
The period (per) and timeless (tim) genes are intimately involved in the generation and maintenance of Drosophila circadian rhythms. Both genes are expressed in a circadian manner, and the two proteins (PER and TIM) participate in feedback regulation which contributes to the mRNA oscillations. Previous studies indicate that the circadian regulation is in part transcriptional. To investigate qua...
متن کاملtakeout, a novel Drosophila gene under circadian clock transcriptional regulation.
We report the identification and characterization of a new Drosophila clock-regulated gene, takeout (to). to is a member of a novel gene family and is implicated in circadian control of feeding behavior. Its gene expression is down-regulated in all of the clock mutants tested. In wild-type flies, to mRNA exhibits daily cycling expression but with a novel phase, delayed relative to those of the ...
متن کاملA post-transcriptional mechanism contributes to circadian cycling of a per-beta-galactosidase fusion protein.
The period gene (per) of Drosophila melanogaster affects circadian rhythms. Circadian fluctuations in per mRNA levels are thought to contribute to circadian fluctuations in per protein levels in the heads of adult flies. To address the mechanisms underlying these oscillatory phenomena, we have analyzed RNA and protein cycling from two per-beta-galactosidase fusion genes. These studies demonstra...
متن کاملPost-Transcriptional Regulation of Papillomavirus Gene Expression
Papillomavirus genomes are transcribed as one large complex transcription unit with multiple promoters, two poly(A) sites (early and late), and considerable alternative splicing. As a result, there are multiple opportunities for post-transcriptional regulation of papillomavirus gene expression. Although this area has not been as extensively studied as transcriptional regulation, there are a few...
متن کاملPost-transcriptional gene regulation in chondrocytes.
The control of gene expression in articular chondrocytes is an essential factor in maintaining the homoeostasis of extracellular matrix synthesis and turnover necessary in healthy articular cartilage. Although much is known of how steady-state levels of gene expression and rates of transcription are altered, there has been a poorer understanding of gene control at the post-transcriptional level...
