Using Protein Studies to Understand the Body's Internal Clock

Abstract

Circadian gene expression studies have shown that many protein-encoding genes exhibit circadian expression in a tissue-specific manner.

  • The circadian clock helps organisms adjust physiology and behavior based on the time of day.
  • Regulation of gene expression at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels is coordinated by the circadian clock.
  • Rhythmic protein oscillation is influenced by gene transcription, as well as post-transcriptional and post-translational regulations.
  • New advances in mass spectrometry are providing insights into the circadian dynamics of proteins.
  • Understanding the circadian clock's role in gene regulation levels is an emerging challenge in this research area.
