Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the heterodimeric CLOCK:BMAL1 transcriptional activator complex.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of a complex containing the mouse CLOCK:BMAL1 bHLH-PAS domains reveals an unusual asymmetric heterodimer with the three domains in each of the two subunits involved in dimerization interactions, resulting in three distinct protein interfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuromedin S-Producing Neurons Act as Essential Pacemakers in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus to Couple Clock Neurons and Dictate Circadian Rhythms

TL;DR: It is shown that a subset of SCN neurons expressing the neuropeptide neuromedin S (NMS) plays an essential role in the generation of daily rhythms in behavior, and lengthening period within Nms neurons is sufficient to lengthen period of the SCN and behavioral circadian rhythms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nudel Binds Cdc42GAP to Modulate Cdc42 Activity at the Leading Edge of Migrating Cells

TL;DR: It is shown that Nudel, a cytoplasmic dynein regulator, competes with Cdc42 for binding CDC42GAP, a small GTPase whose activation at the leading edge by guanine nucleotide exchange factors is critical for cell migration.
Journal ArticleDOI

An evolutionary hotspot defines functional differences between CRYPTOCHROMES

TL;DR: The identification of an ancestral secondary cofactor-binding pocket as an interface in repressive CRYs, mediating regulation through direct interaction with CLOCK and BMAL1 is reported, suggesting that subtle sequence divergences at this site can modulate clock function.
