(May 2011) Nai-Wei Kuo, B.S.; M.S., National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Andy LiWang, Dr. Pingwei Li The circadian clock orchestrates metabolism and cell division and imposes important consequences to health and diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and cancer. It is well established that phosphorylation-dependent circadian rhythms are the result of circadian clock protein interactions, which regulate many intercellular processes according to time of day. The phosphorylation-dependent circadian rhythm undergoes a succession of phases: Phosphorylation Phase → Transition Phase → Dephosphorylation Phase. Each phase induces the next phase. However, the mechanism of each phase and how the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation phases are prevented from interfering with each other remain elusive. In this research, we used a newly developed isotopic labeling strategy in combination with a new type of nuclear magnetic resornance (NMR) experiment to obtain the structural and dynamic information of the cyanobacterial KaiABC oscillator system.

CCB Annual Review of the Organized Research Unit Fiscal Year 2011 The University of California, San Diego Center for Chronobiology 1 of 33 11/30/2011 3:44 PM Report http://research.ucsd.edu/orureporting/revandsub.aspx?ReportID=825&rep... 825 Director's Statement Director’s Statement During our second year as an ORU, the Center for Chronobiology had immediate goals of increasing the visibility of CCB on campus and around the world as a premier center for chronobiology research and facilitating interactions among members. We met these goals by: hosting local activities and outfitting facilities to engage our members and encourage interaction; expanding the content on an attractive and informative website; and hosting a symposium with top chronobiologist speakers from within CCB and around the world. Staffing section ‐ We have merged the External Advisory Committee and Executive Committee members into the Advisory Committee section since this report does not have a field for Executive Committee Members. All people included in the staffing section participate and contribute to the Center for Chronobiology. The Facilities section lists 12,568 square feet for CCB. Most of this space belongs to the Division of Biological Sciences. The actual space allocation for CCB is 551 square feet. This includes two administrative offices and one small conference room. Goals Met: · Expanded the membership of the Center for Chronobiology ORU to 32 UCSD faculty members as of June 30, 2011. · Hosted subgroups of members for research collaboration meetings · Held monthly meetings of the CCB Executive Committee · Recruited outstanding external academic and business professionals to serve as member of a CCB External Advisory Committee, which will meet on February 15, 2012.

Golden Committee Members, Deborah Bell-Pedersen Andy LiWang Deborah Siegele Head of Department, Thomas D. McKnight December 2008 Major Subject: Microbiology iii ABSTRACT Cellular Function and Localization of Circadian Clock Proteins in Cyanobacteria. (December 2008) Guogang Dong, B.S., Peking University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Susan S. Golden The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus builds a circadian clock on an oscillator comprised of three proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, which can recapitulate a circadian rhythm of KaiC phosphorylation in vitro. The molecular structures of all three proteins are known, and the phosphorylation steps of KaiC, the interaction dynamics among the three Kai proteins, and a weak ATPase activity of KaiC have all been characterized. A mutant of a clock gene in the input pathway, cikA , has a cell division defect, and the circadian clock inhibits the cell cycle for a short period of time during each cycle. However, the interaction between the circadian cycle and the cell cycle and the molecular mechanisms underlying it have been poorly understood.

  • UCSD Center for Chronobiology
    Center for Chronobiology CCB 5 year Review of the Organized Research Unit Fiscal Year 2010 thru 2013 The University of California, San Diego Center for Chronobiology Director’s Statement Center for Chronobiology (CCB) The UCSD Center for Chronobiology (CCB) was established as an Organized Research Unit in 2009 to leverage the exceptional strength and breadth of circadian biology research that is conducted at UCSD. The Center brings together faculty from diverse disciplinary areas of the campus, including the Biological, Physical, and Social Sciences, Engineering, and the Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy. CCB focuses on questions in chronobiology - the study of biological timing – found at all levels of biological complexity and central to the organization of life, with an emphasis on circadian (~24 h) biological rhythms. With 34 members at UCSD, and affiliate members at the Scripps Research Institute, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Merced, CCB is the largest aggregate of circadian rhythms researchers in the world. CCB members span an exceptional range of research approaches and organisms, from in vitro rhythms and synthetic biology in micro-organisms, through plant and animal model organisms, to human clinical research. Moreover, members are, as individuals, leaders in their specific areas. Since the establishment of CCB, three members have been elected to the National Academy of Sciences (Golden, Sejnowski, and Spitzer). The establishment of this ORU in 2009 had the immediate effect of focusing both internal and international attention on our unique concentration of strength in circadian biology and placing UCSD on the map as a major center of research in this broad field.

  • Bioluminescent and Fluorescent Reporters in Circadian Rhythm Studies
    Bioluminescent and fluorescent reporters in circadian rhythm studies Takako Noguchi and Susan Golden *This review article assumes basic knowledge of gene expression and light wavelengths Abstract Various organisms create fascinating “glow-in-the-dark” proteins in nature. Scientists introduce these special proteins into organisms that they study and use the emitted light to report where, when, and how much genes or proteins of interest are expressed. Two major kinds of reporters, luciferases and fluorescent proteins, are often confused with each other because they have common characteristics: (1) they can be used to make it easy to track the expression of genes or proteins of interest by fusing a reporter gene to a gene of interest (genetically encoded reporters), and (2) they glow in the dark. However, there are fundamental differences between these reporters. Generally, luciferases, which catalyze a reaction with a substrate luciferin and generate light as a product (bioluminescence), are dim, but highly quantitative reporters and suitable to measure how much and when a gene or protein is expressed. Fluorescent proteins, which require an external light source to stimulate emission of a different wavelength of light, are bright reporters and suitable to locate in which cells a gene is activated or where in a cell a protein is expressed. In this review, we introduce basic mechanisms of bioluminescence and fluorescence, and how they are used in circadian rhythm research. Entry Level Intermediate Level Advanced Level Mechanisms to glow in the dark As you study biological science, you encounter experiments using “bioluminescence” and “fluorescence.” Both bioluminescence and fluorescence appear as specimens glowing in the dark.
