Abstract

Disruption of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) causes changes in circadian rhythms, leading to temporal shifts and altered amplitude in clock-dependent transcription.

  • CMA is involved in the rhythmic removal of proteins related to the circadian clock, indicating a functional relationship between these systems.
  • In vivo disruption of CMA alters the regular patterns of circadian transcription, similar to changes seen in sleep disorders and ageing.
  • Loss of circadian rhythm affects the rhythmicity of CMA, resulting in significant alterations to the cellular protein landscape.
  • The interaction between the circadian clock and CMA may contribute to the decline in cellular function associated with ageing and proteostasis issues.
