PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a central CKI epsilon-binding motif for phosphorylation
	a N terminal Per-ARNT-Sim (PAS) 300 AA dimerization domain
	a helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif
	three putative nuclear localization signals (NLS)

HOMOLOGY

interspecies	homolog to Drosophila period gene
	homolog to murine Per2
	homolog to C.elegans h39e23.1a

intraspecies

homolog to PER1

Homologene

FAMILY

basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factor

CATEGORY

regulatory , transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	potential regulator of circadian rhythm at the transcriptional level
	playing a crucial role for resetting the central clock in response to light
	influences the glutamatergic system and modulates alcohol consumption
	controls circadian periods through nuclear localization in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and can modulate a sleep molecular mechanism (Miyazaki 2007)
	CRY2 and PER2 affect distinct pathways in the regulation of bone volume 5)
	CRY2 influencing mostly the osteoclastic cellular component of bone and PER2 acting on osteoblast parameters 5)

CELLULAR PROCESS

nucleotide, transcription

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

circadian

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

compoment of the circadian clock

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	ARNTL (BMAL1)
	a functional partnership between ARNTL2 and PER2 (role of PER2 in the circadian transcription) (Sasaki 2009)
	DNA-binding of NPAS2 and ARNTL to PER2 was decreased by sleep deprivation (SD), although SD is known to increase PER2 expression in the cortex (PMId: 22039518)
	PML is a circadian clock regulator that can physically interact with PER2
	PRKCDBP is a new cytoplasmic PER2-interacting protein influencing circadian clock properties
	KHSRP promotes decay of PER2 mRNA through an RNA-protein interaction and show that increased PER2 expression is responsible for the phase delay in cycling of several clock genes in the absence of KHSRP
