The circadian clock is encoded by a transcription-translation feedback loop that synchronizes behavior and metabolism with the light-dark cycle. Here we report that both the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) biosynthesis, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), and levels of NAD+ display circadian oscillations that are regulated by the core clock machinery in mice. Inhibition of NAMPT promotes oscillation of the clock gene Per2 by releasing CLOCK:BMAL1 from suppression by SIRT1. In turn, the circadian transcription factor CLOCK binds to and up-regulates Nampt, thus completing a feedback loop involving NAMPT/NAD+ and SIRT1/CLOCK:BMAL1.
昼夜节律钟由一个转录-翻译反馈环编码,该反馈环使行为和代谢与明暗周期同步。我们在此报告,哺乳动物烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸(NAD+)生物合成中的限速酶烟酰胺磷酸核糖基转移酶(NAMPT)以及NAD+水平均呈现昼夜振荡,且受小鼠核心生物钟机制调控。抑制NAMPT可通过解除SIRT1对CLOCK:BMAL1的抑制来促进生物钟基因Per2的振荡。反过来,昼夜节律转录因子CLOCK结合并上调Nampt,从而完成一个涉及NAMPT/NAD+和SIRT1/CLOCK:BMAL1的反馈环。
