Melatonin (MEL), the primary hormonal product of the pineal gland-a photoneuroendocrine transducer and biological pacemaker that effects the seasonal adaptation (photoperiodism) of higher animals-governs a variety of reproductive and immunoregulatory functions and may play a role in cancer, aging and senescence. Not only does M E L production decline clinically with age,'-* but administration of M E L o r the implantation of pineal from young donors prolongs both median and absolute survival times of older mice.' Further, there are a number of reports (although conflicting) that lifespan is altered in a variety of organisms reared in constant light or darkness, or in non-24-h light-dark cycles (see Natelson et a/.4); these environmental regimens are registered by the pineal. The production and release of M E L exhibits circadian rhythmicity in viuo,5 reflecting control by an endogenous pacemaker and direct regulation by light,h and, in the chick, remains both rhythmic and photosensitive in uitro, even in dispersed cell culture.' In turn, cyclic AMP (CAMP) is a key regulator of M E L synthesis and release in rats and chick' pineal, acting in the latter on the MEL-synthesizing system downstream from the pacemaker and in coordination with (as opposed to through) it.I0 Likewise, the progression of the mammalian cell division cycle (CDC) is regulated by CAMP, working together with ionic calcium (Ca*+), and these controls are altered in aging and neoplastic tissue." My colleagues and I are particularly interested in the interaction of the circadian oscillator and the CDC and the role of CAMP in this signal transduction pathway, I* with the possible implications for timekeeping in genetically programmed agingi3.i4 and for the malignant transformation of cells.14 To this end, we have intensively investigated circadian clock control of the CDC in the algal flagellate Er4g/enn gracilis Klebs, a highly rhythmic system that has been well characterized physiologically and b i~chemica l ly .
