USP2 deubiquitinates PER1. 4 / 4
1 | 3

reach
"In light of the shorter half-life of USP2 (compared to that of PER1) (XREF_FIG) and of its rhythmic expression peaking almost simultaneously with that of PER1, the deubiquitination of PER1 by USP2 could be restricted to a specific circadian time and therefore be altering the function and/or localization of PER1 to fine tune the molecular clock in physiological conditions."

"Recently, we showed that the deubiquitinating enzyme ubiquitin-specific peptidase 2 (USP2) associates with clock proteins and deubiquitinates PERIOD1 (PER1) but does not affect its overall stability."

reach
"Deubiquitination of PER1 by USP2 does not stabilize it."

reach
"USP2 is essential to deubiquitinating PER1, CRY1 and CRY2 in vivo [54–57]."
