The Drosophila shaggy gene product is a mammalian glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3 beta) homologue that contributes to the circadian clock of the Drosophila through TIMELESS phosphorylation, and it regulates nuclear translocation of the PERIOD/TIMELESS heterodimer. We found that mammalian GSK-3 beta is expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and liver of mice and that GSK-3 beta phosphorylation exhibits robust circadian oscillation. Rhythmic GSK-3 beta phosphorylation is also observed in serum-shocked NIH3T3 cells. Exposing serum-shocked NIH3T3 cells to lithium chloride, a specific inhibitor of GSK-3 beta, increases GSK-3 beta phosphorylation and delays the phase of rhythmic clock gene expression. On the other hand, GSK-3 beta overexpression advances the phase of clock gene expression. We also found that GSK-3 beta interacts with PERIOD2 (PER2) in vitro and in vivo. Recombinant GSK-3 beta can phosphorylate PER2 in vitro. GSK-3 beta promotes the nuclear translocation of PER2 in COS1 cells. The present data suggest that GSK-3 beta plays important roles in mammalian circadian clock.
