Normal body clock timing requires REV-ERB proteins to suppress Npas2

Abstract

Loss of REV-ERB nuclear receptors in the suprachiasmatic nucleus leads to a marked shortening of the circadian period.

  • The shortening of the circadian period due to REV-ERB loss is tissue autonomous.
  • This effect is consistent in both brain and liver tissues.
  • Period shortening occurs through the derepression of clock transcription factors NPAS2 and CLOCK.
  • REV-ERB loss alters core circadian properties and has tissue-specific consequences.
