Description:
Cellular life emerged approximately 3.7 billion years ago. With scant exception, terrestrial organisms have evolved under predictable daily cycles owing to the Earth's rotation. The advantage conferred on organisms that anticipate such environmental cycles has driven the evolution of endogenous circadian rhythms that tune internal physiology to external conditions. The molecular phylogeny of mechanisms driving these rhythms has been difficult to dissect because identified clock genes and proteins are not conserved across the domains of life: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota. Here we show that oxidation-reduction cycles of peroxiredoxin proteins constitute a universal marker for circadian rhythms in all domains of life, by characterizing their oscillations in a variety of model organisms. Furthermore, we explore the interconnectivity between these metabolic cycles and transcription-translation feedback loops of the clockwork in each system. Our results suggest an intimate co-evolution of cellular timekeeping with redox homeostatic mechanisms after the Great Oxidation Event approximately 2.5 billion years ago.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3398137/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3398137/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Edgar, Rachel S -- Green, Edward W -- Zhao, Yuwei -- van Ooijen, Gerben -- Olmedo, Maria -- Qin, Ximing -- Xu, Yao -- Pan, Min -- Valekunja, Utham K -- Feeney, Kevin A -- Maywood, Elizabeth S -- Hastings, Michael H -- Baliga, Nitin S -- Merrow, Martha -- Millar, Andrew J -- Johnson, Carl H -- Kyriacou, Charalambos P -- O'Neill, John S -- Reddy, Akhilesh B -- 083643/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 083643/Z/07/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 093734/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 093734/Z/10/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- BB/C006941/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- BB/D019621/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- BB/D019621/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- MC_U105170643/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- P50 GM076547/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50GM076547/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM067152/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM088595/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM067152/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01GM088595/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R21 HL102492/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R21HL102492/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2012 May 16;485(7399):459-64. doi: 10.1038/nature11088.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge CB2 0QQ, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22622569" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
