Description
  • In order to initiate a new round of transcription activated by BMAL1:CLOCK in the morning, Cryptochrome proteins (CRY1, CRY2) and Period proteins (PER1, PER2, PER3), the repressors of BMAL:CLOCK, are ubiquitinylated by SCF E3 ligase complexes and then proteolyzed by the 26S proteasome during the night. The BTRC,FBXW11:CUL1:SKP1:RBX1 E3 ligase complex ubiquitinylates phosphorylated PER1, PER2, and likely PER3 in the cytosol (Shirogane et al. 2005, inferred from mouse homologs in Reischl et al. 2007, Ohsaki et al. 2008), the FBXL3:CUL1:SKP1:RBX1 E3 ligase complex ubiquitinylates CRY1 and CRY2 in the nucleoplasm (inferred from mouse homologs in Busino et al. 2007, Hirano et al. 2013, Yoo et al. 2013), and the FBXL21:CUL1:SKP1:RBX1 E3 ligase complex ubiquitinylates CRY1 and CRY2 in the cytosol (inferred from mouse homologs in Hirano et al. 2013, Yoo et al. 2013). FBLX21 represses ubiquitinylation by FBXL3 in the nucleus by an uncharacterized mechanism (inferred from mouse homologs in Hirano et al. 2013, Yoo et al. 2013)
