The plant circadian clock exerts stronger control over the diel proteome than the transcriptome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The plant circadian clock is a genetic circuit composed of multiple mutually-regulating transcription factors that together synchronize internal biological rhythms to the ∼24-hour period of planetary rotation. While it has been known for over a decade that nearly 40% of the transcriptome in the model plant Arabidopsis oscillates with a circadian rhythm, it is yet unclear to what extent this translates to the proteome. Here, through parallel quantitative proteome and transcriptome time-course profiling of Arabidopsis wild-type plants and a panel of clock deficient plant lines, we show that specific clock genes exercise extensive control over diel proteome rhythmicity, and to a much greater extent than they do the transcriptome. This control results in a clock-dependent synchronization of rhythmic proteins along a bimodal phase distribution that is lost in circadian clock deficient plants. This suggests pervasive post-translational control of gene expression by specific elements of the circadian system, notably the morning expressed LHY/CCA1 module. Our findings imply that the circadian clock exercises much greater control of gene expression through proteostasis mechanisms than previously recognised, necessitating a recalibration of our current understanding of clock proteins as primarily transcriptional regulators.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
