A proteomics landscape of circadian clock in mouse liver

As a circadian organ, liver executes diverse functions in different phase of the circadian clock. This process is believed to be driven by a transcription program. Here, we present a transcription factor (TF) DNA-binding activity-centered multi-dimensional proteomics landscape of the mouse liver, which includes DNA-binding profiles of different TFs, phosphorylation, and ubiquitylation patterns, the nuclear sub-proteome, the whole proteome as well as the transcriptome, to portray the hierarchical circadian clock network of this tissue. The TF DNA-binding activity indicates diurnal oscillation in four major pathways, namely the immune response, glucose metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and the cell cycle. We also isolate the mouse liver Kupffer cells and measure their proteomes during the circadian cycle to reveal a cell-type resolved circadian clock. These comprehensive data sets provide a rich data resource for the understanding of mouse hepatic physiology around the circadian clock. As a circadian organ, liver functions are regulated by circadian clock. Here, the authors present a comprehensive proteomics landscape of the mouse liver, including transcription factor binding profiles, phosphorylation and ubiquitylation patterns, nuclear and whole proteome, and the transcriptome.
