CLOCK activates USP2. 3 / 3
| 3

reach
"This suggests a scenario in USP2 -/- mice in which increased turnover of BMAL1 coincides with increased CLOCK and BMAL1 driven gene expression in the USP2 -/- SCN."

reach
"However, the free running period (tau), a key intrinsic characteristic of the central circadian clock, was significantly increased in Usp2 KO mice (XREF_FIG; XREF_TABLE) (also reproduced in an additional group of mice, data not shown), suggesting the involvement of USP2 in the molecular clockwork."

reach
"The circadian rhythm of Usp2 is blunted in Clock mutant and Bmal1 KO mice, and the Usp2 promoter is activated by CLOCK and BMAL1, indicating that Usp2 is a direct target of these transcription factors."
