Abstract excerpt
The PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) helix-loop-helix transcription factor BMAL1 (also known as MOP3) is an essential component of the circadian pacemaker in mammals. Here we show that the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor RORalpha (NR1F1) directly activates transcription of Bmal1 through two conserved RORalpha response elements that are required for cell-autonomous transcriptional oscillation of Bmal1 mRNA....
