DBC1 influences the stability and function of the cell's internal clock regulator Rev-erbα

Abstract

Rev-erbα protein levels decrease significantly upon depletion.

  • Rev-erbα is a key regulator of the circadian clock and metabolism.
  • DBC1 interacts with Rev-erbα and regulates its repressor function.
  • Depletion of DBC1 results in reduced Rev-erbα protein levels without affecting mRNA levels.
  • Overexpression of DBC1 enhances Rev-erbα protein stability by inhibiting its degradation.
  • Loss of DBC1 leads to a marked decrease in circadian oscillations of Rev-erbα and BMAL1.
