Functional role of CREB-binding protein in the circadian clock system of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Rhythmic histone acetylation underlies the oscillating expression of clock genes in the mammalian circadian clock system. Cellular factors that contain histone acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase activity have been implicated in these processes by direct interactions with clock genes, but their functional relevance remains to be assessed by use of appropriate animal models. Here, using transgenic fly...
