In mammals, rhythms in body temperature help to entrain and synchronize circadian rhythms throughout the organism, and the cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) is one of the mediators of these daily temperature changes. Cirbp mRNA expression is regulated by the daily subtle rhythms in body temperature, and a new study by Gotic and colleagues (pp. 2005-2017) reveals a surprising and novel mechanism that involves temperature-dependent enhancement of splicing efficiency.
在哺乳动物中,体温节律有助于在整个机体中诱导并同步昼夜节律,而冷诱导RNA结合蛋白(CIRBP)是这些日常体温变化的介质之一。Cirbp mRNA的表达受体温每日细微节律的调节,戈蒂克及其同事进行的一项新研究(第2005 - 2017页)揭示了一种惊人的新机制,该机制涉及温度依赖性的剪接效率增强。
