Drosophila ubiquitin-specific peptidase 14 stabilizes the PERIOD protein by regulating a ubiquitin ligase SLIMB by So Who Kang, Jung-Eun Park, Soonhyuck Ok, Minhui Um, Hyeonjeong Son, Seunghee Byun, Nayoung Park, Su Jin Lee, Thị Xuân Thùy Trần, Gyeongmin Kim, Jeonghun Yeom, Kyunggon Kim, Eun Young Kim, Min-Ji Kang

“…We find that overexpression of USP14 in clock cells reduces PER protein levels without altering its mRNA levels whereas USP14 knockdown increases PER protein levels, suggesting that USP14 regulates PER post-translationally. Interestingly, despite these alterations in PER levels, neither USP14 overexpression nor knockdown significantly impacts circadian behavioral rhythms, likely because of slight effects on PER levels in small ventral lateral neurons (sLNvs). …”
