General annotation (Comments)

Function	Component of the circadian clock mechanism which is essential for generating circadian rhythms. Negative element in the circadian transcriptional loop. Influences clock function by interacting with other circadian regulatory proteins and transporting them to the nucleus. Negatively regulates CLOCK|NPAS2-BMAL1|BMAL2-induced transactivation By similarity.
Subunit structure	Homodimer. Component of the circadian core oscillator, which includes the CRY proteins, CLOCK or NPAS2, BMAL1 or BMAL2, CSNK1D and/or CSNK1E, TIMELESS, and the PER proteins. Interacts directly with PER1 and PER3, and through a C-terminal domain, with CRY1 and CRY2. Interaction with CSNK1D or CSNK1E promotes nuclear location of PER proteins. Interacts, via its second PAS domain, with TIMELESS in vitro. Interacts with NFIL3 By similarity. Interacts with PML By similarity. Ref.2 Ref.10
Subcellular location	Nucleus By similarity. Cytoplasm By similarity. Cytoplasm › perinuclear region By similarity. Note: Mainly nuclear. Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling is effected by interaction with other circadian core oscillator proteins and/or by phosphorylation. Retention of PER1 in the cytoplasm occurs through PER1-PER2 heterodimer formation or by interaction with CSNK1E and/or phosphorylation which appears to mask the PER nuclear localization signal. Also translocated to the nucleus by CRY1 or CRY2 By similarity. PML regulates its nuclear localization By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Widely expressed. Found in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. High levels in skeletal muscle and pancreas. Low level in lung. Ref.8
Induction	Serum-induced levels in fibroblasts show circadian oscillations. Maximum levels after 1 hour stimulation, minimum levels after 12 hours. Another peak is then observed after 24 hours. Ref.9
Post-translational modification	Phosphorylated by CSNK1E and CSNK1D. Phosphorylation results in PER2 protein degradation. Ref.2 Ref.10
Involvement in disease	Familial advanced sleep-phase syndrome (FASPS) [MIM:604348]: Characterized by very early sleep onset and offset. Individuals are 'morning larks' with a 4 hours advance of the sleep, temperature and melatonin rhythms. Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.10
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain. Contains 2 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domains.
Sequence caution	The sequence BAA20804.2 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
