Specificity in circadian clock feedback from targeted reconstitution of the NuRD corepressor
Open accessAbstract
Mammalian circadian rhythms are generated by a negative feedback loop in which PERIOD (PER) proteins accumulate, form a large nuclear complex (PER complex), and bind the transcription factor CLOCK-BMAL1, repressing their own expression. We found that mouse PER complexes include the Mi-2/nucleosome remodelling and deacetylase (NuRD) transcriptional corepressor. Unexpectedly, two NuRD subunits, CHD4 and MTA2, constitutively associate with CLOCK-BMAL1, with CHD4 functioning to promote CLOCK-BMAL1 transcriptional activity. At the onset of negative feedback, the PER complex delivers the remaining complementary NuRD subunits to DNA-bound CLOCK-BMAL1, thereby reconstituting a NuRD corepressor that is important for circadian transcriptional feedback and clock function. The PER complex thus acquires full repressor activity only upon successful targeting of CLOCK-BMAL1. Our results show how specificity is generated in the clock despite its dependence on generic transcriptional regulators and reveal the existence of active communication between the positive and negative limbs of the circadian feedback loop.

Chromatin and nucleosome remodeling contribute to circadian rhythm control independently of metabolism.
“Independently of metabolism, chromatin and nucleosome remodeling are important contributors to the control of circadian rhythm (Kim et al., 2014; Tamayo et al., 2015).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
