Abstract
In the wild, the environment does not remain constant, but periodically oscillates so that temperature rises in the daytime and drops at night, which generates a daily thermocycle. The effects of thermocycles on thermal tolerance have been previously described in fish. However, the impact of thermocycles on daytime-dependent thermal responses and daily rhythms of temperature tolerance and sensing expression mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of two rearing conditions: constant (26 °C, C) versus a daily thermocycle (28 °C in the daytime; 24 °C at night, T) on the thermal tolerance response in zebrafish. Thermal tolerance (mortality) was assessed in 4dpf (days post fertilization) zebrafish larvae after acute heat shock (39 °C for 1 h) at two time points: middle of the light phase (ML) or middle of the dark phase (MD). Thermal stress responses were evaluated in adult zebrafish after a 37 °C challenge for 1 h at ML or MD to examine the expression of the heat-shock protein (HSP) (hsp70, hsp90ab1, grp94, hsp90aa1, hspb1, hsp47, cirbp) and transient receptor potential (TRP) channels (trpv4, trpm4a, trpm2, trpa1b) in the brain. Finally, the daily rhythms of gene expression of HSPs and TRPs were measured every 4 h for 24 h. The results revealed the larval mortality rates and the expression induction of most HSPs in adult zebrafish brain reached the highest values in fish reared under constant temperature and subjected to thermal shock at MD. The expression of most HSPs and TRPs was mainly synchronized to the light/dark (LD) cycle, regardless of the temperature regime. Most HSPs involved in hyperthermic challenges displayed diurnal rhythms with their acrophases in phase with warm-sensing thermoTRPs acrophases. The cold-sensing trpa1b peaked in the second half of the light period and slightly shifted toward the dark phase anticipating the acrophase of cirpb, which is involved in hypothermic challenges. These findings indicated that: a) thermal shocks are best tolerated in the daytime; b) the implementation of daily thermocycles during larval development reduces mortality and stress-cellular expression of HSPs to an acute thermal stress at MD; c) daily rhythms need to be considered when discussing physiological responses of thermal sensing and thermotolerance in zebrafish.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are 24-hour oscillations affecting an organism at multiple levels from gene expression all the way to tissues and organs. They have been observed in organisms across the kingdom of life, spanning from cyanobacteria to humans. In mammals, the master circadian pacemaker is located in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) in the brain where it synchronizes the peripheral oscillators that exist in other tissues. This system regulates the circadian activity of a large part of the transcriptome and recent findings indicate that almost every cell in the body has this clock at the molecular level. In this review, we briefly summarize the different factors that can influence the circadian transcriptome, including light, temperature, and food intake. We then summarize recently identified general principles governing genome-scale circadian regulation, as well as future lines of research. Genome-scale circadian activity represents a fascinating study model for computational biology. For this purpose, systems biology methods are promising exploratory tools to decode the global regulatory principles of circadian regulation.

Abstract
Light at night and light interference (LI) disrupt the natural light:dark cycle, causing alterations at physiological and molecular levels, partly by suppressing melatonin (MLT) secretion at night. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) can be activated in response to environmental changes. We assessed changes in gene expression and protein level of HSP70 in brain and hepatic tissues of golden spiny mice (Acomys russatus) acclimated to LI for two (SLI), seven (MLI) and 21 nights (LLI). The effect of MLT treatment on LI-mice was also assessed. HSP70 levels increased in brain and hepatic tissues after SLI, whereas after MLI and LLI, HSP70 decreased to control levels. Changes in HSP70 levels as a response to MLT occurred after SLI only in hepatic tissue. However, hsp70 expression following SLI increased in brain tissue, but not in hepatic tissue. MLT treatment and SLI caused a decrease in hsp70 levels in brain tissue and an increase in hsp70 in hepatic tissue. SLI acclimation elicited a stress response in A. russatus, as expressed by increased HSP70 levels and gene expression. Longer acclimation decreases protein and gene expression to their control levels. We conclude that for brain and hepatic tissues of A. russatus, LI is a short-term stressor. Our results also revealed that A. russatus can acclimate to LI, possibly because of its circadian system plasticity, which allows it to behave both as a nocturnal and as a diurnal rodent. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing the effect of LI as a stressor at the cellular level, by activating HSP70.

Abstract
The thermal limits of individual animals were originally proposed as a link between animal physiology and thermal ecology. Although this link is valid in theory, the evaluation of physiological tolerances involves some problems that are the focus of this study. One rationale was that heating rates shall influence upper critical limits, so that ecological thermal limits need to consider experimental heating rates. In addition, if thermal limits are not surpassed in experiments, subsequent tests of the same individual should yield similar results or produce evidence of hardening. Finally, several non-controlled variables such as time under experimental conditions and procedures may affect results. To analyze these issues we conducted an integrative study of upper critical temperatures in a single species, the ant Atta sexdens rubropiosa, an animal model providing large numbers of individuals of diverse sizes but similar genetic makeup. Our specific aims were to test the 1) influence of heating rates in the experimental evaluation of upper critical temperature, 2) assumptions of absence of physical damage and reproducibility, and 3) sources of variance often overlooked in the thermal-limits literature; and 4) to introduce some experimental approaches that may help researchers to separate physiological and methodological issues. The upper thermal limits were influenced by both heating rates and body mass. In the latter case, the effect was physiological rather than methodological. The critical temperature decreased during subsequent tests performed on the same individual ants, even one week after the initial test. Accordingly, upper thermal limits may have been overestimated by our (and typical) protocols. Heating rates, body mass, procedures independent of temperature and other variables may affect the estimation of upper critical temperatures. Therefore, based on our data, we offer suggestions to enhance the quality of measurements, and offer recommendations to authors aiming to compile and analyze databases from the literature.

Abstract
The existence of many processes that regulate RNA expression poses a challenge to the idea that the cell is the culmination of a highly efficient interplay of individual proteins, each with specific, highly specialized functions. It will be demonstrated here the extent to which the cell may undergo evolutionary processes that also occur in the macrocosmos, specifically with reference to the rules of mutation and preservation. These molecular evolutionary processes could facilitate a better understanding of the development of molecular structures and the functioning of the cell and could give an explanation of the molecular polymorphisms and also explain why many molecular structures can be preserved although they are not predominant.

Abstract
Perhaps the most observable of the many circadian oscillations that have been described in both vertebrate and invertebrate animals is the daily alterations in periods of rest and activity. Recent studies in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster suggest that these periods of inactivity are not simply rest but share many of the fundamental components that define mammalian sleep. Thus, quiescent episodes are characterized by reduced awareness of the environment and are homeostatically regulated. Although this field is in its infancy, recent studies have focused on the interaction between circadian and homeostatic processes. These results indicate that components of the circadian clock may play a substantial role in mechanisms underlying sleep homeostasis at the molecular level. In this article, the author reviews recent advances obtained using Drosophila as a model system to elucidate fundamental components of sleep regulation.

Abstract
Effects of temperature and temperature changes on circadian clocks in cyanobacteria, unicellular algae, and plants, as well as fungi, arthropods, and vertebrates are reviewed. Periodic temperature with periods around 24 h even in the low range of 1-2 degrees C (strong Zeitgeber effect) can entrain all ectothermic (poikilothermic) organisms. This is also reflected by the phase shifts-recorded by phase response curves (PRCs)-that are elicited by step- or pulsewise changes in the temperature. The amount of phase shift (weak or strong type of PRC) depends on the amplitude of the temperature change and on its duration when applied as a pulse. Form and position of the PRC to temperature pulses are similar to those of the PRC to light pulses. A combined high/low temperature and light/dark cycle leads to a stabile phase and maximal amplitude of the circadian rhythm-when applied in phase (i.e., warm/light and cold/dark). When the two Zeitgeber cycles are phase-shifted against each other the phase of the circadian rhythm is determined by either Zeitgeber or by both, depending on the relative strength (amplitude) of both Zeitgeber signals and the sensitivity of the species/individual toward them. A phase jump of the circadian rhythm has been observed in several organisms at a certain phase relationship of the two Zeitgeber cycles. Ectothermic organisms show inter- and intraspecies plus seasonal variations in the temperature limits for the expression of the clock, either of the basic molecular mechanism, and/or the dependent variables. A step-down from higher temperatures or a step-up from lower temperatures to moderate temperatures often results in initiation of oscillations from phase positions that are about 180 degrees different. This may be explained by holding the clock at different phase positions (maximum or minimum of a clock component) or by significantly different levels of clock components at the higher or lower temperatures. Different permissive temperatures result in different circadian amplitudes, that usually show a species-specific optimum. In endothermic (homeothermic) organisms periodic temperature changes of about 24 h often cause entrainment, although with considerable individual differences, only if they are of rather high amplitudes (weak Zeitgeber effects). The same applies to the phase-shifting effects of temperature pulses. Isolated bird pineals and rat suprachiasmatic nuclei tissues on the other hand, respond to medium high temperature pulses and reveal PRCs similar to that of light signals. Therefore, one may speculate that the self-selected circadian rhythm of body temperature in reptiles or the endogenously controlled body temperature in homeotherms (some of which show temperature differences of more than 2 degrees C) may, in itself, serve as an internal entraining system. The so-called heterothermic mammals (undergoing low body temperature states in a daily or seasonal pattern) may be more sensitive to temperature changes. Effects of temperature elevation on the molecular clock mechanisms have been shown in Neurospora (induction of the frequency (FRQ) protein) and in Drosophila (degradation of the period (PER) and timeless (TIM) protein) and can explain observed phase shifts of rhythms in conidiation and locomotor activity, respectively. Temperature changes probably act directly on all processes of the clock mechanism some being more sensitive than the others. Temperature changes affect membrane properties, ion homeostasis, calcium influx, and other signal cascades (cAMP, cGMP, and the protein kinases A and C) (indirect effects) and may thus influence, in particular, protein phosphorylation processes of the clock mechanism. The temperature effects resemble to some degree those induced by light or by light-transducing neurons and their transmitters. In ectothermic vertebrates temperature changes significantly affect the melatonin rhythm, which in turn exerts entraining (phase shifting) functions.

Abstract
Heat resistance appears to cycle in concert with energy metabolism in continuous culture of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To study the mechanism of this oscillation, the authors first examined if heat shock proteins (Hsps) are involved. Neither the protein levels of major Hsps nor the expression of the beta-galactosidase gene as a reporter under the control of the promoter carrying heat-shock element oscillated during the metabolic oscillation. The level of trehalose in yeast cycled with the same periodicity, as did energy metabolism. This oscillation was not found in a GTS1-deleted mutant that also did not show cyclic changes in heat resistance. These results suggest that heat resistance oscillation is induced by fluctuations in trehalose level and not by an oscillatory expression of Hsps. The increase in trehalose began at the start of the respiro-fermentative phase and the decrease began after the elevation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level. The authors hypothesize that the synthesis of trehalose parallels the activation of the glycolytic pathway and that trehalose is degraded by trehalase activated by cAMP coupled with the metabolic oscillation in the continuous culture of yeast.

Abstract
The circadian clock of Neurospora crassa regulates the rhythmic expression of a number of genes encoding diverse functions which, as an ensemble, are adaptive to life in a rhythmic environment of alternating levels of light and dark, warmth and coolness, and dryness and humidity. Previous differential screens have identified a number of such genes based solely on their cycling expression, including clock-controlled gene 9 (ccg-9). Sequence analysis now shows the predicted CCG-9 polypeptide to be homologous to a novel form of trehalose synthase; as such it would catalyze the synthesis of the disaccharide trehalose, which plays an important role in protecting many cells from environmental stresses. Consistent with this, heat, glucose starvation, and osmotic stress induce ccg-9 transcript accumulation. Surprisingly, however, a parallel role in development is suggested by the finding that inactivation of ccg-9 results in altered conidiophore morphology and abolishes the normal circadian rhythm of asexual macroconidial development. Examination of a clock component, FRQ, in the ccg-9-null strain revealed normal cycling, phosphorylation, and light induction, indicating that loss of the conidiation rhythm is not due to changes in either the circadian oscillator or light input into the clock but pointing instead to a defect in circadian output. These data imply an interplay between a role of trehalose in stress protection and an apparent requirement for trehalose in clock regulation of conidiation under constant environmental conditions. This requirement can be bypassed by a daily light signal which drives a light-entrained rhythm in conidiation in the ccg-9-null strain; this bypass suggests that the trehalose requirement is related to clock control of development and not to the developmental process itself. Circadian control of trehalose synthase suggests a link between clock control of stress responses and that of development.

Abstract
Regulated neurotransmitter release depends on a precise sequence of events that lead to repeated cycles of exocytosis and endocytosis. These events are mediated by a series of molecular interactions among vesicular, plasma membrane, and cytosolic proteins. An emerging theme has been that molecular chaperones may guide the sequential restructuring of stable or transient protein complexes to promote a temporal and spatial regulation of the endo- and exocytotic machinery and to ensure a vectorial passage through the vesicle cycle. Chaperones, specialized for a few substrates, are ideally suited to participate in regulatory processes that require some molecular dexterity to rearrange conformational or oligomeric protein structures. This article emphasizes the significance of three molecular chaperone systems in regulated neurotransmitter release: the regulation of soluble NSF attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes by N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor (NSF) and the soluble NSF attachment protein (SNAP), the uncoating of clathrin-coated vesicles by the 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein (Hsc70), and the regulation of SNARE complex-associated protein interactions by cysteine-string protein and Hsc70.

Abstract
Expression of six Hsp70s in spinach (Spinacia oleracea cv Longstanding Bloomsdale) leaves grown under isothermal conditions is regulated by a light/dark (L/D) mechanism distinctly different from the light-regulated mechanism for the chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (cab) or small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (rbcS). Subjecting entrained plants to two or three L/D cycles within a 24-h period resulted in an equal number of oscillations in expression for five out of six 70-kD heat shock proteins (Hsp70s). Three cycles appear to be the maximum, as shorter L/D treatments do not consistently increase the number of cycles in a 24-h period. The expression response of Hsp70s to L/D is overridden by heat shock. Protein disulfide isomerase, a second molecular chaperone of the endoplasmic reticulum, has an expression pattern in entrained plants that is similar to hsc70-2, the endoplasmic reticulum luminal Hsp70 binding protein. The parallel expression patterns for the various Hsp70s and protein disulfide isomerase indicate a likely general coordinate L/D regulation for molecular chaperones in plants. Multiple inductions in response to successive L/D treatments within a 24-h period in entrained plants for five of six Hsp70s support the conclusion that expression is not a consequence of circadian control, but instead is independently cued by non-circadian-mediated L/D signals where peak Hsp70 expression precedes the daily thermoperiod maximum.

Abstract
We investigated whether cellular responses to various stress conditions are regulated in synchronization with the ultradian rhythm of respiratory-fermentative metabolism which is coupled to the cell cycle rhythm in continuous cultures of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The cellular resistance to heat oscillated with a peak at the late respiro-fermentative phase, which approximately corresponds to the unbudding period of the cell cycle. Cellular resistance to H(2)O(2) and that to the superoxide-generating agent menadione oscillated in the same phase as that of heat resistance. The resistance to cadmium and that to 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, an uncoupler of energy metabolism in mitochondria, both oscillated with a peak advanced by about 80 degrees relative to that of heat resistance, approximately covering the respiro-fermentative phase. Thus, cellular resistance to various stresses in S. cerevisiae oscillated in synchronization with the metabolic oscillation in the continuous culture.
