The human PER1 gene is transcriptionally regulated by multiple signaling pathways
The mammalian period ( Per) genes are components of the circadian clock and appear to be regulated via an autoregulatory feedback loop. Here we show that the human PER1 ( hPER1) gene is synergistically activated by protein kinases A and C (PKA, PKC) and cAMP responsive element binding protein. Activ...

Zusammenfassung: | The mammalian period (
Per) genes are components of the circadian clock and appear to be regulated via an autoregulatory feedback loop. Here we show that the human
PER1 (
hPER1) gene is synergistically activated by protein kinases A and C (PKA, PKC) and cAMP responsive element binding protein. Activators and inhibitors of PKA as well as PKC modulate endogenous
hPER1 expression and
hPER1 promoter-driven reporter gene activity in a dose-dependent manner. Our results suggest that the
hPER1 promoter acts as a sensor for multiple signaling molecules thereby integrating different physiological parameters. This regulation of
hPER1 appears to be significant for rapid adaptation to changing environmental conditions. |
