Gould2013 - Temperature Sensitive Circadian Clock

ABSTRACT: Gould2011 - Temperature Sensitive Circadian Clock This model is a temperature sensitive version of Pokhilko et al. 2010 (PMID: 20865009), which is BIOMD0000000273 in BioModels. This model is described in the article: Network balance via CRY signalling controls the Arabidopsis circadian clock over ambient temperatures. Gould PD, Ugarte N, Domijan M, Costa M, Foreman J, Macgregor D, Rose K, Griffiths J, Millar AJ, Finkenstädt B, Penfield S, Rand DA, Halliday KJ, Hall AJ. Mol. Syst. Biol. 2013; 9: 650 Abstract: Circadian clocks exhibit 'temperature compensation', meaning that they show only small changes in period over a broad temperature range. Several clock genes have been implicated in the temperature-dependent control of period in Arabidopsis. We show that blue light is essential for this, suggesting that the effects of light and temperature interact or converge upon common targets in the circadian clock. Our data demonstrate that two cryptochrome photoreceptors differentially control circadian period and sustain rhythmicity across the physiological temperature range. In order to test the hypothesis that the targets of light regulation are sufficient to mediate temperature compensation, we constructed a temperature-compensated clock model by adding passive temperature effects into only the light-sensitive processes in the model. Remarkably, this model was not only capable of full temperature compensation and consistent with mRNA profiles across a temperature range, but also predicted the temperature-dependent change in the level of LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL, a key clock protein. Our analysis provides a systems-level understanding of period control in the plant circadian oscillator. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: BIOMD0000000564.

Project description:Tseng2012 - Circadian clock of N.crassa A comprehensive model of the circardian clock of fungal Neurospora crassa , which encompasses existing knowledge of the biochemistry of Neurospora clock, is described by Tseng et al. (2012). The model is validated against a wide range of experimental phenotypes and has been used to investigate possible molecular explanations of temperature compensation. This model is described in the article: Comprehensive modelling of the Neurospora circadian clock and its temperature compensation. Tseng YY, Hunt SM, Heintzen C, Crosthwaite SK, Schwartz JM PLoS Comput. Biol. [2012 ; Volume: 8 (Issue: 3 )] Page info: e1002437 Abstract: Circadian clocks provide an internal measure of external time allowing organisms to anticipate and exploit predictable daily changes in the environment. Rhythms driven by circadian clocks have a temperature compensated periodicity of approximately 24 hours that persists in constant conditions and can be reset by environmental time cues. Computational modelling has aided our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of circadian clocks, nevertheless it remains a major challenge to integrate the large number of clock components and their interactions into a single, comprehensive model that is able to account for the full breadth of clock phenotypes. Here we present a comprehensive dynamic model of the Neurospora crassa circadian clock that incorporates its key components and their transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. The model accounts for a wide range of clock characteristics including: a periodicity of 21.6 hours, persistent oscillation in constant conditions, arrhythmicity in constant light, resetting by brief light pulses, and entrainment to full photoperiods. Crucial components influencing the period and amplitude of oscillations were identified by control analysis. Furthermore, simulations enabled us to propose a mechanism for temperature compensation, which is achieved by simultaneously increasing the translation of frq RNA and decreasing the nuclear import of FRQ protein.

Project description:This a model from the article: Isoform switching facilitates period control in the Neurospora crassa circadian clock. Akman OE, Locke JC, Tang S, Carré I, Millar AJ, Rand DA Mol. Syst. Biol. 2008;Vol 4: 164 18277380 , Abstract: A striking and defining feature of circadian clocks is the small variation in period over a physiological range of temperatures. This is referred to as temperature compensation, although recent work has suggested that the variation observed is a specific, adaptive control of period. Moreover, given that many biological rate constants have a Q(10) of around 2, it is remarkable that such clocks remain rhythmic under significant temperature changes. We introduce a new mathematical model for the Neurospora crassa circadian network incorporating experimental work showing that temperature alters the balance of translation between a short and long form of the FREQUENCY (FRQ) protein. This is used to discuss period control and functionality for the Neurospora system. The model reproduces a broad range of key experimental data on temperature dependence and rhythmicity, both in wild-type and mutant strains. We present a simple mechanism utilising the presence of the FRQ isoforms (isoform switching) by which period control could have evolved, and argue that this regulatory structure may also increase the temperature range where the clock is robustly rhythmic.

Project description:This model 2 described in the supplement of the article below. It is parameterized for the WT at 24°C. To reproduce figure 6 the results have to be rescaled to circadian time by multiplying time by 24/tau, with tau being the period of the free-running oscillator. For the wild-type parameter set tau is equal to 22.7149. Article: Isoform switching facilitates period control in the Neurospora crassa circadian clock.

Project description:FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a MADS box transcription factor that plays a well characterised role in repressing the vegetative to floral transition of Arabidopsis thaliana. FLC has also been shown to affect the Arabidopsis circadian clock, with mutant seedlings showing short circadian periods. In a previous study, we identified the temperature-dependent circadian period QTL PerCv5b near the FLC locus on the top arm of Chromosome 5. PerCv5b caused a significant period effect at 27oC but not at 12oC or 22oC. Temperature-dependent circadian period phenotypes and a known polymorphism in the Ler allele made FLC a strong candidate gene for PerCv5b. The period effect of FLC was enhanced by combination with alleles of FRIGIDA (FRI), a gene shown to up-regulate FLC's expression. We were interested in identifying how FLC affects the circadian clock, so we decided to identify its target genes. Greatest phenotypic difference was observed between fri; flc and FRI; FLC genotype seedlings at 27oC, so expression was compared between these lines (previously described in Michaels and Amasino1999 and 2001) on the Affymetrix ATH1 microarray. Seedlings were grown on media (MS 1.5% Agar containing 3% Sucrose) for 6 days under constant cool white fluorescent light (55-60 micro EINSTEINS) at 22oC then entrained for 4 days under (12h , 12h) light , dark cycles at 22oC. At dawn on the fourth day of entrainment they were transferred to constant light (25-30 micro EINSTEINS) at 27oC. Four samples were taken at 6 hour intervals starting 24h after the transfer to continuous conditions at the times 24h, 30h, 36h and 42h. Equal amounts of total RNA were pooled from the three time points to produce one sample per genotype. The pooling strategy was employed to reduce the effect of circadian regulation on genes expression. This was particularly important in our case as some interesting genes would likely be regulated by the circadian clock and may only show expression differences at particular phases that could easily be missed if using just one time point.
