Non-coding cis-element of Period2 is essential for maintaining organismal circadian behaviour and body temperature rhythmicity

The circadian transcription factors BMAL1:CLOCK bind to E/E′-boxes in gene regulatory elements of their targets and facilitate rhythmic expression. Here, the authors mutate the Per2 promoter E’′-box in mice and observe that cell- and tissue-autonomous oscillations are dampened and that animals are l...
