Promoter methylation in a mixed feedback loop circadian clock model
We introduce and analyze an extension of the mixed feedback loop model of Fran\c{c}ois and Hakim. Our extension includes an additional promoter state and allows for reversible protein sequestration, which was absent from the original studies of the mixed feedback loop model. Motivated by experimental observations that link DNA methylation with circadian gene expression, we use our extended model to investigate the role of DNA methylation(s) in the mammalian circadian clock. We extend the perturbation analysis of Fran\c{c}ois and Hakim to determine how methylation affects the presence and the periodicity of oscillations. We derive a modified Goodwin oscillator model as an approximation to show that although methylation contributes to period control, excessive methylation can abolish rhythmicity.

Protein sequestration versus Hill-type repression in circadian clock models
Circadian (~24hr) clocks are self-sustained endogenous oscillators with which organisms keep track of daily and seasonal time. Circadian clocks frequently rely on interlocked transcriptional- translational feedback loops…
