How Spsb1 and Spsb4 Control the Breakdown of RevErbα and Influence the Body’s Daily Clock

Updated

Abstract

Spsb4 is identified as a potential novel E3 ligase that may regulate RevErbα stability.

  • Circadian clock proteins are essential for daily rhythms in gene expression and physiology.
  • The ubiquitin proteasome system is crucial for controlling the stability of core clock components.
  • Spsb1 and Spsb4 facilitate the process of tagging RevErbα for degradation.
  • Spsb2 and Spsb3 do not interact with RevErbα or influence its stability.
  • The interaction of Spsb paralogs with RevErbα is associated with regulation of circadian clock periodicity.
