Regulation of Drosophila Circadian Rhythms by Mirna Let-7 Is Mediated by a Regulatory Cycle
ARTICLE Received 10 Jul 2014 | Accepted 10 Oct 2014 | Published 24 Nov 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6549 Regulation of Drosophila circadian rhythms by miRNA let-7 is mediated by a regulatory cycle Wenfeng Chen1,*, Zhenxing Liu1,*, Tianjiao Li1, Ruifeng Zhang1, Yongbo Xue1, Yang Zhong1, Weiwei Bai1, Dasen Zhou1 & Zhangwu Zhao1 MicroRNA-mediated post-transcriptional regulations are increasingly recognized as important components of the circadian rhythm. Here we identify microRNA let-7, part of the Drosophila let-7-Complex, as a regulator of circadian rhythms mediated by a circadian regulatory cycle. Overexpression of let-7 in clock neurons lengthens circadian period and its deletion attenuates the morning activity peak as well as molecular oscillation. Let-7 regulates the circadian rhythm via repression of CLOCKWORK ORANGE (CWO). Conversely, upregulated cwo in cwo-expressing cells can rescue the phenotype of let-7-Complex overexpression. Moreover, circadian prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) and CLOCK- regulated 20-OH ecdysteroid signalling contribute to the circadian expression of let-7 through the 20-OH ecdysteroid receptor. Thus, we find a regulatory cycle involving PTTH, a direct target of CLOCK, and PTTH-driven miRNA let-7. 1 Department of Entomology, College of Agronomy and Biotechnology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China. * These authors contributed equally to this work.

In Melatonin synthesis mammalian and avian species, only one aanat gene is expressed. However, three aanat genes (aanat1a, aanat1b, Pineal organ and aanat2) are reported in fish species. While aanat1a and aanat1b genes are expressed in the fish retina, the Photoperiod fi Temperature nervous system and other peripheral tissues, aanat2 gene is expressed exclusively in the sh pineal organ. Clock genes form molecular components of the clockwork, which regulates clock-controlled genes like aanat gene. All core clock genes (i.e., clock, bmal1, per1, per2, per3, cry1 and cry2) and aanat2 gene (a clock-controlled gene) are expressed in the pineal organ of several fish species.

Neurobiological Functions of the Period Circadian Clock 2 Gene, Per2
Review Biomol Ther 26(4), 358-367 (2018) Neurobiological Functions of the Period Circadian Clock 2 Gene, Per2 Mikyung Kim, June Bryan de la Peña, Jae Hoon Cheong and Hee Jin Kim* Department of Pharmacy, Uimyung Research Institute for Neuroscience, Sahmyook University, Seoul 01795, Republic of Korea Abstract Most organisms have adapted to a circadian rhythm that follows a roughly 24-hour cycle, which is modulated by both internal (clock-related genes) and external (environment) factors. In such organisms, the central nervous system (CNS) is influenced by the circadian rhythm of individual cells. Furthermore, the period circadian clock 2 (Per2) gene is an important component of the circadian clock, which modulates the circadian rhythm. Per2 is mainly expressed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus as well as other brain areas, including the midbrain and forebrain. This indicates that Per2 may affect various neurobiological activities such as sleeping, depression, and addiction. In this review, we focus on the neurobiological functions of Per2, which could help to better understand its roles in the CNS.
