Journal ArticleDOI
A differential response of two putative mammalian circadian regulators, mper1 and mper2, to light.
TL;DR: It appears that mper1 is the pacemaker component which responds to light and thus mediates photic entrainment in Drosophila period and mper2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonredundant Roles of the mPer1 and mPer2 Genes in the Mammalian Circadian Clock
Binhai Zheng,Urs Albrecht,Krista Kaasik,Marijke Sage,Weiqin Lu,Sukeshi Vaishnav,Qiu Li,Zhong Sheng Sun,Gregor Eichele,Allan Bradley,Cheng Chi Lee +10 more
TL;DR: The studies show that mPER1 and mPER2 have distinct and complementary roles in the mouse clock mechanism, suggesting independent controls by the two proteins over some output pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mPer2 gene encodes a functional component of the mammalian circadian clock.
Binhai Zheng,David W. Larkin,Urs Albrecht,Zhong Sheng Sun,Marijke Sage,Gregor Eichele,Cheng Chi Lee,Allan Bradley +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence that an mPer gene functions in the circadian clock is provided, and mPer2 is defined as a component of the mammalian circadian oscillator.
Journal ArticleDOI
RIGUI, a putative mammalian ortholog of the Drosophila period gene.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have isolated a human gene termed RIGUI that encodes a bHLH/PAS protein 44% homologous to Drosophila period.
Journal ArticleDOI
mPer1 and mPer2 Are Essential for Normal Resetting of the Circadian Clock
TL;DR: The authors conclude that the mammalian Per genes are not only light-responsive components of the circadian oscillator but also are involved in resetting of thecircadian clock.
