Temperature compensation and temperature sensation in the circadian clock.
All known circadian clocks have an endogenous period that is remarkably insensitive to temperature, a property known as temperature compensation, while at the same time being readily entrained by a diurnal temperature oscillation. Although temperature compensation and entrainment are defining features of circadian clocks, their mechanisms remain poorly understood. Most models presume that multi...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms Regulating Temperature Compensation of the Circadian Clock
An approximately 24-h biological timekeeping mechanism called the circadian clock is present in virtually all light-sensitive organisms from cyanobacteria to humans. The clock system regulates our sleep-wake cycle, feeding-fasting, hormonal secretion, body temperature, and many other physiological functions. Signals from the master circadian oscillator entrain peripheral clocks using a variety ...
متن کاملTemperature compensation and temperature entrainment of the chick pineal cell circadian clock.
We have used an in vitro model system of the circadian clock, dispersed chick pineal cells, to examine the effects of temperature on the circadian clock of a homeotherm. This preparation enabled us to isolate a circadian clock from in vivo homeostatic temperature regulation and expose cells to both constant temperatures and abrupt temperature changes. By manipulating the temperature of the pine...
متن کاملTemperature Entrainment of the Arabidopsis Circadian Clock
Most eukaryotic organisms as well as some prokaryotes (cyanobacteria) have an endogenous circadian clock that keeps track of the earth’s 24-h day/night cycle and regulates the activity of numerous metabolic pathways. The existence of the circadian clock as an endogenous feature of organisms and not merely a response to the presence or absence of sunlight was recognized in plants as early as the...
متن کاملThe relationship between FRQ-protein stability and temperature compensation in the Neurospora circadian clock.
Temperature compensation is an important property of all biological clocks. In Neurospora crassa, negative-feedback regulation on the frequency (frq) gene's transcription by the FRQ protein plays a central role in the organism's circadian pacemaker. Earlier model calculations predicted that the stability of FRQ should determine the period length of Neurospora's circadian rhythm as well as the r...
