CC -!- FUNCTION: Transcriptional activator which forms a core component of the
CC circadian clock. The circadian clock, an internal time-keeping system,
CC regulates various physiological processes through the generation of
CC approximately 24 hour circadian rhythms in gene expression, which are
CC translated into rhythms in metabolism and behavior. It is derived from
CC the Latin roots 'circa' (about) and 'diem' (day) and acts as an
CC important regulator of a wide array of physiological functions
CC including metabolism, sleep, body temperature, blood pressure,
CC endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, and renal function. Consists of two
CC major components: the central clock, residing in the suprachiasmatic
CC nucleus (SCN) of the brain, and the peripheral clocks that are present
CC in nearly every tissue and organ system. Both the central and
CC peripheral clocks can be reset by environmental cues, also known as
CC Zeitgebers (German for 'timegivers'). The predominant Zeitgeber for the
CC central clock is light, which is sensed by retina and signals directly
CC to the SCN. The central clock entrains the peripheral clocks through
CC neuronal and hormonal signals, body temperature and feeding-related
CC cues, aligning all clocks with the external light/dark cycle. Circadian
CC rhythms allow an organism to achieve temporal homeostasis with its
CC environment at the molecular level by regulating gene expression to
CC create a peak of protein expression once every 24 hours to control when
CC a particular physiological process is most active with respect to the
CC solar day. Transcription and translation of core clock components
CC (CLOCK, NPAS2, ARNTL/BMAL1, ARNTL2/BMAL2, PER1, PER2, PER3, CRY1 and
CC CRY2) plays a critical role in rhythm generation, whereas delays
CC imposed by post-translational modifications (PTMs) are important for
CC determining the period (tau) of the rhythms (tau refers to the period
CC of a rhythm and is the length, in time, of one complete cycle). A
CC diurnal rhythm is synchronized with the day/night cycle, while the
CC ultradian and infradian rhythms have a period shorter and longer than
CC 24 hours, respectively. Disruptions in the circadian rhythms contribute
CC to the pathology of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, metabolic
CC syndromes and aging. A transcription/translation feedback loop (TTFL)
CC forms the core of the molecular circadian clock mechanism.
CC Transcription factors, CLOCK or NPAS2 and ARNTL/BMAL1 or ARNTL2/BMAL2,
CC form the positive limb of the feedback loop, act in the form of a
CC heterodimer and activate the transcription of core clock genes and
CC clock-controlled genes (involved in key metabolic processes), harboring
CC E-box elements (5'-CACGTG-3') within their promoters. The core clock
CC genes: PER1/2/3 and CRY1/2 which are transcriptional repressors form
CC the negative limb of the feedback loop and interact with the
CC CLOCK|NPAS2-ARNTL/BMAL1|ARNTL2/BMAL2 heterodimer inhibiting its
CC activity and thereby negatively regulating their own expression. This
CC heterodimer also activates nuclear receptors NR1D1/2 and RORA/B/G,
CC which form a second feedback loop and which activate and repress
CC ARNTL/BMAL1 transcription, respectively. Regulates the circadian
CC expression of ICAM1, VCAM1, CCL2, THPO and MPL and also acts as an
CC enhancer of the transactivation potential of NF-kappaB. Plays an
CC important role in the homeostatic regulation of sleep. The CLOCK-
CC ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer regulates the circadian expression of
CC SERPINE1/PAI1, VWF, B3, CCRN4L/NOC, NAMPT, DBP, MYOD1, PPARGC1A,
CC PPARGC1B, SIRT1, GYS2, F7, NGFR, GNRHR, BHLHE40/DEC1, ATF4, MTA1, KLF10
CC and also genes implicated in glucose and lipid metabolism. Promotes
CC rhythmic chromatin opening, regulating the DNA accessibility of other
CC transcription factors. The CLOCK-ARNTL2/BMAL2 heterodimer activates the
CC transcription of SERPINE1/PAI1 and BHLHE40/DEC1. The preferred binding
CC motif for the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer is 5'-CACGTGA-3', which
CC contains a flanking Ala residue in addition to the canonical 6-
CC nucleotide E-box sequence. CLOCK specifically binds to the half-site
CC 5'-CAC-3', while ARNTL binds to the half-site 5'-GTGA-3'. The CLOCK-
CC ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer also recognizes the non-canonical E-box motifs
CC 5'-AACGTGA-3' and 5'-CATGTGA-3'. CLOCK has an intrinsic
CC acetyltransferase activity, which enables circadian chromatin
CC remodeling by acetylating histones and nonhistone proteins, including
CC its own partner ARNTL/BMAL1. Represses glucocorticoid receptor
CC NR3C1/GR-induced transcriptional activity by reducing the association
CC of NR3C1/GR to glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) via the
CC acetylation of multiple lysine residues located in its hinge region.
CC The acetyltransferase activity of CLOCK is as important as its
CC transcription activity in circadian control. Acetylates metabolic
CC enzymes IMPDH2 and NDUFA9 in a circadian manner. Facilitated by BMAL1,
CC rhythmically interacts and acetylates argininosuccinate synthase 1
CC (ASS1) leading to enzymatic inhibition of ASS1 as well as the circadian
CC oscillation of arginine biosynthesis and subsequent ureagenesis (By
CC similarity). Drives the circadian rhythm of blood pressure through
CC transcriptional activation of ATP1B1 (By similarity).
