Most living organisms on Earth have a circadian rhythm, which gives them the ability to adapt to daily changes. The circadian rhythm regulates gene expression, metabolism, and physiology to sustain biological systems. 1,2 The expressions of genes that participate in the circadian rhythm, which are called clock genes, are delicately regulated by multiple processes such as transcriptional regulation and post-transcriptional regulation. 3-5 Recently, it was reported that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K) controls the expressions of clock genes such as Dbp and Per3. 6,7 Here, we investigate transcriptional activation of RORγ by hnRNP K, which interacts with the poly(C) motif of RORγ. hnRNP K is known as a durable poly(C)-binding protein 7-11 that controls multiple gene expression processes such
