DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this proposal is to better understand the multiple roles of protein phosphorylation in regulating circadian rhythms by focusing on PERIOD (PER), a core transcriptional repressor of the circadian transcriptome and the key biochemical timer that underlies animal circadian time-keeping mechanisms. In animal clocks, de novo synthesized PER goes through a dynamic multi-site phosphorylation program that is dependent on the activities of a number of kinases and phosphatases. Through evolutionary fine-tuning, completion of this phosphorylation cycle requires the duration of a circadian day, thereby closely linking PER phosphorylation program to the speed of the clock. The phase-specific phosphorylation program of PER provides sophisticated time-of-day specific modulations to its functional properties, including stability, subcellular localization, and transcriptional activity, thereby controlling the time and duration for which PER functions as a repressor of the circadian transcriptome. We have previously performed mechanistic studies on specific PER phosphorylation sites that are dependent on DOUBLETIME (DBT) and NEMO kinase activities, and found that they are integral part of a phosphorylation circuitry that sets te pace of the clock. In order to fully comprehend the role of DBT and NEMO-dependent PER phosphorylation in circadian biology, we are proposing to use Drosophila melanogaster as a model to address three main questions. (i) What are the sites that are modified by DBT and NEMO? (ii) What is the temporal progression of the phosphorylation program? (iii) What is the function of specific phosphorylation events? Our specific aims are to (1) map DBT- and NEMO-dependent PER phosphorylation sites using quantitative mass spectrometry; (2) decipher the temporal progression of the PER phosphorylation program in whole animals using phosphospecific antibodies in combination with laser scanning confocal microscopy; and (3) assay changes in PER interactome with respect to kinase activities and time using AP-MS (Affinity Purification and Mass Spectrometry) in order to generate new hypotheses regarding temporal changes in PER functional properties. By integrating the results from our three aims, we will understand how dynamic phase-specific phosphorylation of Drosophila PER progresses throughout the circadian day and how specific PER phosphorylation states impacts its role in circadian time-keeping. Results from our studies could pave the way for development of small molecule therapeutics and have profound impact on treatment of human disorders associated with phosphorylation defects, e.g. Familial Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome (FASPS).

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的总体目标是通过关注PERIOD（PER），更好地了解蛋白磷酸化在调节昼夜节律中的多种作用，PERIOD是昼夜节律转录组的核心转录抑制因子，也是动物昼夜节律计时机制的关键生化计时器。在动物时钟中，重新合成的PER经历动态的多位点磷酸化程序，该程序依赖于许多激酶和磷酸酶的活性。通过进化微调，完成这个磷酸化周期需要昼夜节律的持续时间，从而将PER磷酸化程序与时钟的速度紧密联系起来。PER的阶段特异性磷酸化程序为其功能特性提供了复杂的时间特异性调节，包括稳定性、亚细胞定位和转录活性，从而控制PER作为昼夜节律转录组的阻遏物发挥作用的时间和持续时间。 我们先前已经对依赖于DOUBLETIME（DBT）和NEMO激酶活性的特定PER磷酸化位点进行了机制研究，发现它们是磷酸化回路的组成部分，该磷酸化回路设定了时钟的节奏。为了充分理解DBT和NEMO依赖的PER磷酸化在昼夜节律生物学中的作用，我们建议使用果蝇作为模型来解决三个主要问题。(i)DBT和NEMO修改的网站有哪些？(ii)磷酸化程序的时间进程是什么？(iii)特异性磷酸化事件的功能是什么？我们的具体目标是：（1）使用定量质谱法绘制DBT和NEMO依赖的PER磷酸化位点;（2）使用磷酸化特异性抗体结合激光扫描共聚焦显微镜，破译整个动物中PER磷酸化程序的时间进程;和（3）使用AP-MS测定PER相互作用组相对于激酶活性和时间的变化（亲和纯化和质谱），以产生关于PER功能性质随时间变化的新假设。通过整合我们三个目标的结果，我们将了解果蝇PER的动态阶段特异性磷酸化在整个昼夜节律中的进展，以及特定的PER磷酸化状态如何影响其在昼夜节律计时中的作用。我们的研究结果可以为小分子疗法的开发铺平道路，并对与磷酸化缺陷相关的人类疾病的治疗产生深远的影响，例如家族性晚期睡眠综合征（FASPS）。
