CHRONO links stress behavior and gene control of metabolism

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗

Updated

Abstract

Chrono knockout mice display a longer period of circadian behavior and an elevated stress response.

  • Circadian rhythms, approximately 24 hours long, are essential for the body's homeostatic functions.
  • CHRONO is a novel circadian clock gene that interacts with other clock proteins to influence circadian mechanisms.
  • The transcription of CHRONO shows a strong circadian rhythm.
  • CHRONO acts as a repressor within the feedback loops that control circadian transcription and translation.
  • There is a potential link between CHRONO's epigenetic regulation and the body's response to stress.
