A repeatedly evolved mutation in Cryptochrome-1 of subterranean animals alters behavioral and molecular circadian rhythms

ABSTRACT: The repeated evolution of similar phenotypes in independent lineages often occurs in response to similar environmental pressures, through similar or different molecular pathways. Recently, a repeatedly occurring mutation R263Q in a conserved domain of the protein Cryptochrome-1 (CRY1) was reported in multiple species inhabiting subterranean environments. Cryptochromes regulate circadian rhythms, and glucose and lipid metabolism. Subterranean species show changes to their circadian rhythm and metabolic pathways, making it likely that this mutation in CRY1 contributes to adaptive phenotypic changes. To identify the functional consequences of the CRY1 R263Q mutation, we generated a mouse model homozygous for this mutation. Indirect calorimetry experiments revealed delayed locomotor activity, energy expenditure and feeding patterns of mutant mice in the dark phase, but no further metabolic phenotypes – unlike a full loss of function of CRY1. Gene expression analyses showed altered expression of several canonical circadian genes in the livers of the mutant mice, fortifying the notion that CRY1 R263Q impacts metabolism. Our data provide the first characterization of a novel mutation that has repeatedly evolved in subterranean environments, supporting the idea that shared environmental constraints can drive the evolution of similar phenotypes through similar genetic changes.

AP-MS of small molecule that selectively destabilizes Cryptochrome 1

Project description:Cryptochromes are negative transcriptional regulators of the circadian clock in mammals. It is not clear how reducing the level of endogenous CRY1 in mammals will affect circadian rhythm and the relation of such a decrease with apoptosis. Here, we discovered a molecule (M47) that destabilizes Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) both in vitro and in vivo. The M47 selectively enhanced the degradation rate of CRY1 by increasing its ubiquitination and resulted in increasing the circadian period length of U2OS Bmal1-dLuc cells. In addition, subcellular fractionation studies from mice liver indicated that M47 increased degradation of the CRY1 in the nucleus. Furthermore, M47-mediated CRY1 reduction enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis in Ras-transformed p53 null fibroblast cells. Systemic repetitive administration of M47 increased the median lifespan of p53-/- mice by ~25%. Collectively our data suggest that M47 is a very promising molecule to treat forms of cancer depending on the p53 mutation.

Expression data from primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts from wild-type and Cry double-knockout embryos

Project description:By gating cell cycle progression to specific times of the day, the intracellular circadian clock is thought to reduce the exposure of replicating cells to potentially hazardous environmental and endogenous genotoxic compounds. Although core clock gene defects that eradicate circadian rhythmicity can cause an altered in vivo genotoxic stress response and aberrant proliferation rate, it remains to be determined to what extent these cell-cycle-related phenotypes are due to a cell-autonomous lack of circadian oscillations. We investigated the DNA damage sensitivity and proliferative capacity of cultured primary Cry1-/-|Cry2-/- fibroblasts. Contrasting previous in vivo studies, we show that the absence of CRY proteins does not affect the cell-autonomous DNA damage response upon exposure of primary cells in vitro to genotoxic agents, but causes cells to proliferate faster. By comparing primary wild type, Cry1-/-|Cry2-/-, Cry1+/-|Cry2-/- and Cry1-/-|Cry2+/- fibroblasts, we provide evidence that CRY proteins influence cell cycle progression in a cell-autonomous, but circadian clock-independent manner and that the accelerated cell cycle progression of Cry-deficient cells is caused by global dysregulation of Bmal1-dependent gene expression. These results suggest that the inconsistency between in vivo and in vitro observations might be attributed to systemic circadian control rather than a direct cell-autonomous control. Asynchronous proliferating MEFs grown under low (3%) oxygen tension and lysed in Trizol. Four independent cell lines were used for each genotype (WT, Cry DKO).

Duper is a Cryptochrome 1 null mutation in Syrian hamsters

Project description:The duper mutation is a recessive mutation that shortens the period length of the circadian rhythm in Syrian hamsters. These animals show a large phase shift when responding to light pulses. Using two distinct ecotypes and a fast homozygosity mapping strategy, we identified duper as an early nonsense allele of Cryptochrome 1 (Cry1) leading to a short, unstable protein.

The circadian E3 ligase complex SCFFBXL3+CRY targets TLK2

Project description:We recently demonstrated that the circadian clock component CRY2 is an essential cofactor in the SCFFBXL3-mediated ubiquitination of c-MYC. Because our demonstration that CRY2 recruits phosphorylated substrates to SCFFBXL3 was unexpected, we investigated the scope of this role by searching for additional substrates of FBXL3 that require CRY1 or CRY2 as cofactors. Here, we describe an affinity purification mass spectrometry (APMS) screen through which we identified more than one hundred potential substrates of SCFFBXL3+CRY1/2, including the cell cycle regulated Tousled-like kinase, TLK2. Both CRY1 and CRY2 recruit TLK2 to SCFFBXL3, and TLK2 kinase activity is required for this interaction. Overexpression or genetic deletion of CRY1 and/or CRY2 decreases or enhances TLK2 protein abundance, respectively. These findings reinforce the idea that CRYs function as co-factors for SCFFBXL3, provide a resource of potential substrates, and establish a molecular connection between the circadian and cell cycle oscillators via CRY-modulated turnover of TLK2.

Genome-wide transcriptomic analysis of CRY2-KO and WT mouse articular cartilage

Project description:OBJECTIVES: Abnormal chondrocyte gene expression promotes osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. RNA-sequencing revealed that circadian rhythm pathway and expression of core clock protein cryptochrome 2 (Cry2) are dysregulated in human OA cartilage. Here we determined expression patterns and function Cry1 and Cry2. METHODS: Cry mRNA and protein expression was analyzed in normal and OA human and mouse cartilage. Mice with deletion of Cry1 or Cry2 were analyzed for severity of experimental OA and to determine genes and pathways that are regulated by CRY. RESULTS: In human OA cartilage, CRY2 but not CRY1 staining and mRNA expression was significantly decreased. Cry2 was also suppressed in mice with surgical or aging-related OA. Cry2 KO but not Cry1 KO mice with experimental OA showed significantly increased severity of histopathological changes in cartilage, subchondral bone and synovium. In OA chondrocytes, the levels of Cry1 and Cry2 and the amplitude of circadian fluctuation were significantly lower. RNA-seq on knee articular cartilage of wild-type and Cry2 KO mice identified 53 differentially expressed genes, including known CRY2 target circadian genes Nr1d1, Nr1d2, Dbp and Tef. Pathway analysis indicated that circadian rhythm and extracellular matrix remodeling were dysregulated in Cry2 KO mice. CONCLUSIONS: These results show an active role of the circadian clock in general, and of CRY2 in particular, in maintaining ECM homeostasis in cartilage. This cell autonomous network of circadian rhythm genes is disrupted in OA chondrocytes. Targeting CRY2 has potential to correct abnormal gene expression patterns and reduce the severity of OA.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Wild Type and delta-RRE Liver Transcriptomes

Project description:In mammals, the circadian clock consists of transcriptional and translational feedback loops through DNA cis-elements such as E-box and RRE. In this study, we established mutant mice deficient for rhythmic transcription of Bmal1 gene by deleting its upstream RRE elements. We observed apparently normal circadian rhythms in the mutant, but the circadian period and amplitude of the mutants were more susceptible to disturbance of CRY1 protein rhythm. Our findings demonstrate that the RRE-mediated feedback regulation of Bmal1 underpins the E-box-mediated rhythm in cooperation with CRY1-dependent posttranslational regulation of BMAL1 protein, thereby conferring the perturbation-resistant oscillation and chronologically organized output of the circadian clock.

ChIP-seq of three core components of the circadian clock (BMAL1, CLOCK and CRY1) in unsynchronized human U2OS cells

Project description:The human osteosarcoma cell line U2OS contains a functional circadian clock but expresses only a few rhythmic genes. We identified by ChIP-seq analysis 3040 binding sites of the circadian transcription factors BMAL1, CLOCK, and CRY1 in the genome of U2OS cells, comparable to the number found in highly rhythmic tissues like liver. ChIP was performed as described previously (Rey et al, 2011; doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1000595) using confluent desynchronized U2OS cells and BMAL1, CLOCK, and CRY1-antibodies. Immunoprecipitated chromatin (10 ng DNA of 8 independent BMAL1 ChIPs with enrichment levels > 80-fold, 9 ng DNA of a CRY1 ChIP with 10-fold enrichment, and 8 ng DNA of a CLOCK ChIP with 40-fold enrichment) was used for library preparation. Three lanes of the BMAL1 library, and one lane each of the CRY1 and CLOCK library were sequenced on the Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx using Single-Read Cluster Generation Kit and 36 Cycle Sequencing Kit v2 (Lausanne Genomics Technologies Facility).

Clock regulation of metabolites reveals coupling between transcription and metabolism

Project description:The circadian clock is intricately connected with metabolism, however the precise details of these connections are incomplete. Here we used high temporal resolution metabolite profiling to determine circadian regulation of mouse liver and cell autonomous metabolism. In mouse liver, we found ~50% of metabolites were circadian, with strong enrichment of the nucleotide, amino acid, and methylation pathways. In U2OS cells, 27% of metabolites were circadian, including amino acids and NAD biosynthesis, also clock controlled in liver. To assess whether cell autonomous metabolite rhythms were clock-dependent, we used RNAi to perturb Bmal1, Cry1, and Cry2. Bmal1 knockdown eliminated most metabolite rhythms, while Cry1 generally shortened and Cry2 lengthened rhythms. Surprisingly, we found Cry1 knockdown induced 8 hr rhythms in amino acid, methylation, and vitamin metabolites, decoupling metabolite and transcriptional rhythms. These results provide the first comprehensive views of circadian liver and cell autonomous metabolism.
