Query author contributions in Reactome
Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.
If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

| comment | FUNCTION Transcriptional repressor which forms a core component of the circadian clock. The circadian clock, an internal time-keeping system, regulates various physiological processes through the generation of approximately 24 hour circadian rhythms in gene expression, which are translated into rhythms in metabolism and behavior. It is derived from the Latin roots 'circa' (about) and 'diem' (day) and acts as an important regulator of a wide array of physiological functions including metabolism, sleep, body temperature, blood pressure, endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, and renal function. Consists of two major components: the central clock, residing in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain, and the peripheral clocks that are present in nearly every tissue and organ system. Both the central and peripheral clocks can be reset by environmental cues, also known as Zeitgebers (German for 'timegivers'). The predominant Zeitgeber for the central clock is light, which is sensed by retina and signals directly to the SCN. The central clock entrains the peripheral clocks through neuronal and hormonal signals, body temperature and feeding-related cues, aligning all clocks with the external light/dark cycle. Circadian rhythms allow an organism to achieve temporal homeostasis with its environment at the molecular level by regulating gene expression to create a peak of protein expression once every 24 hours to control when a particular physiological process is most active with respect to the solar day. Transcription and translation of core clock components (CLOCK, NPAS2, BMAL1, BMAL2, PER1, PER2, PER3, CRY1 and CRY2) plays a critical role in rhythm generation, whereas delays imposed by post-translational modifications (PTMs) are important for determining the period (tau) of the rhythms (tau refers to the period of a rhythm and is the length, in time, of one complete cycle). A diurnal rhythm is synchronized with the day/night cycle, while the ultradian and infradian rhythms have a period shorter and longer than 24 hours, respectively. Disruptions in the circadian rhythms contribute to the pathology of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, metabolic syndromes and aging. A transcription/translation feedback loop (TTFL) forms the core of the molecular circadian clock mechanism. Transcription factors, CLOCK or NPAS2 and BMAL1 or BMAL2, form the positive limb of the feedback loop, act in the form of a heterodimer and activate the transcription of core clock genes and clock-controlled genes (involved in key metabolic processes), harboring E-box elements (5'-CACGTG-3') within their promoters. The core clock genes: PER1/2/3 and CRY1/2 which are transcriptional repressors form the negative limb of the feedback loop and interact with the CLOCK|NPAS2-BMAL1|BMAL2 heterodimer inhibiting its activity and thereby negatively regulating their own expression. This heterodimer also activates nuclear receptors NR1D1/2 and RORA/B/G, which form a second feedback loop and which activate and repress BMAL1 transcription, respectively. CRY1 and CRY2 have redundant functions but also differential and selective contributions at least in defining the pace of the SCN circadian clock and its circadian transcriptional outputs. Less potent transcriptional repressor in cerebellum and liver than CRY1, though less effective in lengthening the period of the SCN oscillator. Seems to play a critical role in tuning SCN circadian period by opposing the action of CRY1. With CRY1, dispensable for circadian rhythm generation but necessary for the development of intercellular networks for rhythm synchrony. May mediate circadian regulation of cAMP signaling and gluconeogenesis by blocking glucagon-mediated increases in intracellular cAMP concentrations and in CREB1 phosphorylation. Besides its role in the maintenance of the circadian clock, is also involved in the regulation of other processes. Plays a key role in glucose and lipid metabolism modulation, in part, through the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in these pathways, such as LEP or ACSL4. Represses glucocorticoid receptor NR3C1/GR-induced transcriptional activity by binding to glucocorticoid response elements (GREs). Represses the CLOCK-BMAL1 induced transcription of BHLHE40/DEC1. Represses the CLOCK-BMAL1 induced transcription of NAMPT (By similarity). Represses PPARD and its target genes in the skeletal muscle and limits exercise capacity (By similarity). Represses the transcriptional activity of NR1I2 (By similarity).COFACTOR Binds 1 FAD per subunit. Only a minority of the protein molecules contain bound FAD. Contrary to the situation in photolyases, the FAD is bound in a shallow, surface-exposed pocket.COFACTOR Binds 1 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) non-covalently per subunit.ACTIVITY REGULATION KL001 (N-[3-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-2-hydroxypropyl]-N-(2-furanylmethyl)-methanesulfonamide) binds to CRY1 and stabilizes it by inhibiting FBXL3- and ubiquitin-dependent degradation of CRY1 resulting in lengthening of the circadian periods.SUBUNIT 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 (By similarity). Interacts with TIMELESS (PubMed:31138685). Interacts directly with PER1, PER2 and PER3; interaction with PER2 inhibits its ubiquitination and vice versa (By similarity). Interacts with CLOCK-BMAL1 (By similarity). Interacts with CLOCK (By similarity). Interacts with BMAL1 (By similarity). Interacts with NFIL3 (By similarity). Interacts with FBXL3 (PubMed:17463251). Interacts with FBXL21 (By similarity). FBXL3, PER2 and the cofactor FAD compete for overlapping binding sites (By similarity). FBXL3 cannot bind CRY2 that interacts already with PER2 or that contains bound FAD (By similarity). Interacts with PPP5C (via TPR repeats); the interaction down-regulates the PPP5C phosphatase activity on CSNK1E (PubMed:16790549). Interacts with nuclear receptors AR and NR3C1/GR; the interaction is ligand dependent (By similarity). Interacts with PRKDC and CIART (By similarity). Interacts with ISCA1 (in vitro) (PubMed:26569474). Interacts with DDB1, USP7 and TARDBP (By similarity). Interacts with HNF4A (PubMed:30530698). Interacts with PPARA (By similarity). Interacts with PPARD (via domain NR LBD) and NR1I2 (via domain NR LBD) in a ligand-dependent manner (By similarity). Interacts with PPARG, NR1I3 and VDR in a ligand-dependent manner (By similarity).INTERACTION Translocated to the nucleus through interaction with other Clock proteins such as PER2 or BMAL1.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Expressed in all tissues examined including fetal brain, fibroblasts, heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and leukocytes. Highest levels in heart and skeletal muscle.PTM Phosphorylation on Ser-266 by MAPK is important for the inhibition of CLOCK-BMAL1-mediated transcriptional activity. Phosphorylation by CSKNE requires interaction with PER1 or PER2. Phosphorylated in a circadian manner at Ser-554 and Ser-558 in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and liver. Phosphorylation at Ser-558 by DYRK1A promotes subsequent phosphorylation at Ser-554 by GSK3-beta: the two-step phosphorylation at the neighboring Ser residues leads to its proteasomal degradation.PTM Ubiquitinated by the SCF(FBXL3) and SCF(FBXL21) complexes, regulating the balance between degradation and stabilization. The SCF(FBXL3) complex is mainly nuclear and mediates ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of CRY2. In contrast, cytoplasmic SCF(FBXL21) complex-mediated ubiquitination leads to stabilize CRY2 and counteract the activity of the SCF(FBXL3) complex. The SCF(FBXL3) and SCF(FBXL21) complexes probably mediate ubiquitination at different Lys residues. The SCF(FBXL3) complex recognizes and binds CRY2 phosphorylated at Ser-554 and Ser-558. Ubiquitination may be inhibited by PER2. Deubiquitinated by USP7 (By similarity).SIMILARITY Belongs to the DNA photolyase class-1 family.SEQUENCE CAUTION Probable cloning artifact. Aberrant splice sites.SEQUENCE CAUTION Truncated C-terminus.SEQUENCE CAUTION Wrong choice of CDS.SEQUENCE CAUTION Extended N-terminus.ONLINE INFORMATION Cryptochrome entry |
