项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Circadian rhythms are nearly ubiquitous endogenous timing systems that help coordinate the myriad physiological, metabolic and developmental processes that occur continuously in each organism at all times of the day. This circadian clock is comprised at the molecular level of interlocked and autoregulatory feedback loops that are built from complex interactions that are constantly changing in relation to each throughout the 24 hour cycle. The long term goal of this project is to understand the functional relationships among the post- transcriptional processes that keep the circadian oscillator running. We are using genetic, genomic, biochemical and cell biological tools and strategies of the model plant Arabidopsis to identify the molecules and mechanisms that regulate the transport of important proteins and mRNA between the cytosol and nucleus. We are focused in part on how a range of post-translational modifications of clock proteins affect both their positional and temporal intracellular localization. Gatekeeping features of the intracellular environment will also be addressed, both on a genomic scale and at the level of a single molecular species. We are applying for the first time in circadian studies single cell imaging techniques using a photo switchable fluorescent protein to assess features of clock protein movement and turnover that will be applicable to non-plant circadian systems. We are also exploiting certain plant-specific advantages of small RNA processing to address other post- transcriptional control mechanisms of the circadian clock. Taken together our program will probe mechanisms of circadian control that should be broadly applicable across all eukaryotic systems.

描述（由适用提供）：昼夜节律几乎是无处不在的内源性计时系统，可帮助协调每个生物体在一天中的任何时候都不断发生的无数生理，代谢和发育过程。该昼夜节律的时钟是在互锁和自动调节反馈回路的分子水平上完成的，这些反馈循环是由复杂的相互作用构建的，这些相互作用在整个24小时周期中都在不断变化。该项目的长期目标是了解使昼夜振荡器运行的转录后过程之间的功能关系。我们正在使用模型植物拟南芥的遗传，基因组，生化和细胞生物学工具以及策略来识别调节重要蛋白质和细胞质和核之间重要蛋白质和mRNA转运的分子和机制。我们专注于一系列时钟蛋白的翻译后修饰如何影响其位置和临时细胞内定位。在基因组量表和单个分子物种的水平上，细胞内环境的守门特征也将得到解决。我们是在昼夜研究中首次申请的单细胞成像技术，使用可切换荧光蛋白来评估适用于非植物昼夜节律系统的时钟蛋白运动和周转的特征。我们还利用小型RNA处理的某些特定植物特异性优势来解决昼夜节律时钟的其他转录后控制机制。一起，我们的计划将探测昼夜节律控制的机制，应在所有真核系统中广泛适用。
