Abstract

Robust circadian clock oscillation persists even with constitutive over-expression of mCRY1 in rat-1 cells.

  • mCRY proteins are critical components that negatively regulate circadian rhythms in mammals.
  • The study utilized rat-1 cells engineered to express a luciferase reporter driven by the mPer2 promoter.
  • Circadian clock oscillations were maintained despite the continuous accumulation of mCRY1 in the cell nuclei.
  • The findings suggest that the presence of mCRY1 alone does not disrupt the circadian feedback loop.
