  • Title: Adrenergic signals direct rhythmic expression of transcriptional repressor CREM in the pineal gland.
    Author: Stehle JH, Foulkes NS, Molina CA, Simonneaux V, Pévet P, Sassone-Corsi P.
    Journal: Nature; 1993 Sep 23; 365(6444):314-20. PubMed ID: 8397338.
    Abstract:
    Transcription factor CREM appears to play a key physiological and developmental role within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This axis is modulated by the pineal hormone melatonin, whose production is in turn driven by the endogenous clock. There is striking circadian fluctuation of a novel CREM isoform, ICER, which is expressed at high levels during the night. ICER is generated from an alternative, intronic promoter and functions as a powerful repressor of cyclic AMP-induced transcription. Rhythmic adrenergic signals originated by the clock direct ICER expression by stimulation of the cAMP signal transduction pathway.
