Abstract
Daily rhythms in the activities of PERIOD proteins are critical to the temporal regulation of mammalian physiology. While the molecular partners and genetic circuits that allow PERIOD to effect auto-repression and regulate transcriptional programmes are increasingly well understood, comprehension of the time-resolved mechanisms that allow PERIOD to conduct this daily dance is incomplete. Here, we consider the character and controversies of this central mammalian clock protein with a focus on its intrinsically disordered nature.This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue 'Circadian rhythms in infection and immunity'.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes topics across the life sciences. As long as the core subject lies within the biological sciences, some issues may also include content crossing into other areas such as the physical sciences, social sciences, biophysics, policy, economics etc. Issues generally sit within four broad areas (although many issues sit across these areas):
Organismal, environmental and evolutionary biology
Neuroscience and cognition
Cellular, molecular and developmental biology
Health and disease.
