Nature 1996, 380:159-162. This paper and the one by Blendy et al. (Nature 1996, 380:162-165) analyze the specific role of CREM in spermatogenesis by the use of CREM-mutant mice generated by homologous recombination. The lack of all the CREM isoforms causes an important reduction in size and weight of the testis and a dramatic decline in postmeiotic gene expression. The authors suggest that the complete lack of spermatoza in mutant mice is reminiscent of cases of human infertility.

This paper shows that CREM is able to adapt to changes in photoperiod by modifying its mode of induction in response to adrenergic stimuli. For the first time the original observations of a differential sensitivity to β-adrenergic stimulation in the pineal gland are linked to mechanisms regulating gene expression in the nucleus.

The authors analyze the expression of Fos-related proteins in the rat pineal gland and describe the circadian regulation of Fra-2. They present evidence that the β-adrenergic regulation points to cAMP as the second messenger controlling the expression of Fra-2 in this system.
