They are regulated by a set of genes, called \u0093clock genes\u0094, which make up the central clock. This central clock is entrained by Zeitgebers, such as light and temperature cycles. Circadian clocks are pervasive throughout nature, yet they remain unexplored and uncharacterized in the nematode C. elegans. Here, we analyze the effect of LIN-42, KIN-20 and AHA-1 proteins on the regulation of nematode circadian rhythms using a reporter system based on bioluminescence. We find that the absence of the LIN-42, KIN-20 and AHA-1 proteins produce a lengthening of the endogenous period. We also show that LIN-42 and KIN-20 are expressed in the same tissues and KIN-20 regulates LIN-42 levels. In addition, thanks to the application of the auxin-indicated degradation (AID) technique, we were able to observe that the LIN-42 and KIN-20 proteins regulate circadian rhythms specifically in neurons. These findings further our understanding of the mechanisms by which these conserved clock proteins interact to regulate rhythmic processes in the adult nematode C. elegans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: LAMBERTI Melisa Luciana | email: melisalamberti@gmail.com | Chronobiology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[19],"class_list":["post-1257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-session-2","tag-chronobiology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1257"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1728,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1257\/revisions\/1728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csan2023.saneurociencias.org.ar\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
