| Research Abstract |
In the mammalian circadian clockwork, CLOCK and BMAL1 bind to DNA and play an important role in the transcriptional feedback loops. In this study, we performed ChIP-Seq analysis and determined all the CLOCK-binding regions in genome-wide manner. RNA-Seq analysis showed circadian profiles of all the transcripts. Furthermore, we identified JNK as novel protein kinase for phosphorylation of CLOCK-BMAL1 complex, and behavioral analysis of JNK3-KO mice showed that JNK is a key player in the photic regulation of circadian clockwork.
