Rhythmic control of AANAT translation by hnRNP Q in circadian melatonin production

Abstract: The circadian rhythm of pineal melatonin requires the nocturnal increment of serotonin N-acetyltransferase (arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase [AANAT]) protein. To date, only limited information is available in the critical issue of how AANAT protein expression is up-regulated exclusively at night regardless of its species-specific mRNA profiles. Here we show that the circadian timing of AANAT protein expression is regulated by rhythmic translation of AANAT mRNA. This rhythmic control is mediated by both a hig… Show more

“…Despite the fact that HCV and FMDV viral RNA are never found in the nuclei of infected cells, complexes formed on IRES elements share components with the splicing machinery. Involvement of splicing factors and hnRNPs in internal initiation has been reported for SRp20 (49), SF2/ASF (50), PTB (hnRNP I) (37,43), hnRNP A1 (51), or hnRNP Q (52). Most of the identified ITAFs are very abundant and shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.…”

“…This results in elevation of adenosine monophosphate (5′-AMP) and increases the synthesis of the rate-limiting enzyme of melatonin synthesis, the arylalkylamine-N-acetyltransferase (Aanat) (reviewed in [32]). There is evidence that the synthesis of Aanat mRNA is regulated by the circadian clock by translational mechanisms [38]. Direct interaction of clock components with the E-box present in the promoter of the Aanat gene appears to modulate its expression also transcriptionally in a time-dependent fashion [29].…”
