In mammals, transcriptional autorepression by Period (PER) and Cryptochrome (CRY) protein complexes is essential for the generation of circadian rhythms. We have identified CAVIN-3 as a new, cytoplasmic PER2-interacting protein influencing circadian clock properties. Thus, CAVIN-3 loss- and gain-of-function shortened and lengthened, respectively, the circadian period in fibroblasts and affected PER:CRY protein abundance and interaction. While depletion of protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ), a known partne ...[more]
