AIMS The circadian clock oscillates in a cell-autonomous manner with a period of approximately 24 hours, and the phase is regulated by various time cues such as light and temperature through multiple clock input pathways. We previously found that osmotic and oxidative stress strongly affected the circadian period and phase of cellular rhythms, and triple knock-out of apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (ASK) family members, Ask1, Ask2, and Ask3, abolished the phase shift (clock resetting) induced by hyperosmotic pulse treatment. We aimed at exploring a key molecule(s) and signaling events in the clock input pathway dependent on ASK kinases. RESULTS The phase shift of the cellular clock induced by the hyperosmotic pulse treatment was significantly reduced by combined deficiencies of the clock(-related) genes, Dec1, Dec2, and E4bp4. In addition, LC-MS/MS-based proteomic analysis identified hyperosmotic pulse-induced phosphorylation of CLOCK Ser845 in an AKT-dependent manner. We found that AKT kinase was phosphorylated at Ser473 (i.e., activated) in response to the hyperosmotic pulse experiments. Inhibition of mTOR kinase by Torin 1 treatment completely abolished the AKT activation, suppressed the phosphorylation of CLOCK Ser845, and blocked the clock resetting induced by the hyperosmotic pulse treatment. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that mTOR-AKT signaling is indispensable for the CLOCK Ser845 phosphorylation and consequently elicits the clock resetting induced by the hyperosmotic pulse treatment. Immediate early induction of the clock(-related) genes and CLOCK C-terminal region containing Ser845 also play important roles in the clock input pathway through redox-sensitive ASK kinases.
