The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $373,200 project grant under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The grant supports research to decipher the role of mRNA nuclear localization in circadian rhythms. Specifically, the research aims to identify the sequences required for nuclear localization of the timeless (TIM) mRNA, a core clock gene, and determine how the splicing factor PRP3 regulates the post-transcriptional splicing of TIM intron 5 to introduce essential temporal delays in the circadian feedback loop. This 5-year research project, running from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030, will provide new insights into the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression and its impact on circadian rhythms, with potential implications for development and disease.
