Abstract

The circadian clock is a self-sustaining 24-hour timekeeper that allows organisms to anticipate daily-changing environmental time cues. Circadian clock genes are regulated by a transcriptional-translational feedback loop. In Arabidopsis, LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) and CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1) transcripts are highly expressed in the morning. Translated LHY and CCA1 proteins repress the expression of the TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1 (TOC1) transcripts, which peaks in the evening. The TOC1 protein elevates the expression of the LHY and CCA1 transcripts, forming a negative feedback loop that is believed to constitute the oscillatory mechanism of the clock. In mammals, the transcription factor protein CLOCK, which is a central component of the circadian clock, was reported to have an intrinsic histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity, suggesting that histone acetylation is important for core clock mechanisms. However, little is known about the components necessary for the histone acetylation of the Arabidopsis clock-related genes. Here, I report that DET1 (De-Etiolated1) functions as a negative regulator of a key component of the Arabidopsis circadian clock gene LHY in constant dark phases (DD) and is required for the down-regulation of LHY expression through the acetylation of histone 3 (H3Ac). However, the HATs directly responsible for the acetylation of H3 within LHY chromatin need to be identified, and a link connecting the HATs and DET1 protein is still absent.

자기 현가적(self-sustaining) 조절 장치인 생체시계는 24시간 주기의 생체리듬을 조절하며 또한 생물체로 하여금 매일 변화하는 자연환경의 외부 신호를 인지할 수 있도록 해준다. 생체시계 유전자의 발현 조절은 전사/해독의 역환류 기작을 통해 이루어진다. 애기장대 LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY)와 CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1)는 아침에 최고조로 발현되며 해독된 LHY and CCA1는 저녁에 최고로 발현되는 TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (TOC1)의 발현을 억제한다. TOC1단백질은 LHY와 CCA1 발현을 촉진시킴으로써 생체시계의 핵심 진자(oscillator)를 형성한다. 동물에서 생체시계의 주요 전사 인자인CLOCK은 아세틸화효소 활성 기능을 가지며, 이는 생체시계의 기능 유지에 아세틸화의 중요함을 의미한다. 하지만 애기장대 생체시계에 아세틸화를 담당하는 인자에 대한 정보는 현재 보고된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서 DET1 (De-Etiolated1)는 암조건하에서 애기장대 생체시계 관련 핵심인자 중 하나인 LHY발현을 억제하는데 필요하며 이의 억제는 H3Ac 조절을 통해 이루어짐을 증명하였다. 하지만 LHY 아세틸화를 담당하는 효소의 발굴 및 이들 효소와 DET1과의 연결을 찾는 문제는 여전히 미재로 남아있다.
