Function
Substrate-recognition component of the SCF(FBXL21) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in circadian rhythm function. Plays a key role in the maintenance of both the speed and the robustness of the circadian clock oscillation. The SCF(FBXL21) complex mainly acts in the cytosol and mediates ubiquitination of CRY proteins (CRY1 and CRY2), leading to CRY proteins stabilization. The SCF(FBXL21) complex counteracts the activity of the SCF(FBXL3) complex and protects CRY proteins from degradation. Involved in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) clock regulating temporal organization of the daily activities (By similarity).
GSK-3beta phosphorylates FBXL21 and TCAP to activate FBXL21-mediated, phosphodegron-dependent TCAP degradation.|These results show direct GSK-3beta phosphorylation of TCAP S157 and FBXL21 T33 sites.
FBXL21 is a clock-controlled E3 ligase modulating circadian periodicity via subcellular-specific CRYPTOCHROME degradation. How FBXL21 regulates tissue-specific circadian physiology and what mechanism operates upstream is poorly understood. Here we report the sarcomere component TCAP as a cytoplasmic substrate of FBXL21.
