Description
Summary:Salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) plays a crucial role in various aspects of metabolism. In the course of investigating metabolic defects in -deficient mice ( ), we observed that circadian rhythmicity of the metabolisms was phase-delayed. mice also exhibited other circadian abnormalities, including lengthening of the period, impaired entrainment to the light-dark cycle, phase variation in locomotor activities, and aberrant physiological rhythms. Ex vivo suprachiasmatic nucleus slices from mice exhibited destabilized and desynchronized molecular rhythms among individual neurons. In cultured cells, -knockdown resulted in abnormal bioluminescence rhythms. Expression levels of PER2, a clock protein, were elevated in -knockdown cells but down-regulated in -overexpressing cells, which could be attributed to a phosphorylation-dependent decrease in PER2 protein stability. This was further confirmed by PER2 accumulation in the fibroblasts and liver. Collectively, SIK3 plays key roles in circadian rhythms by facilitating phosphorylation-dependent PER2 destabilization, either directly or indirectly.
