Peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIases) accelerate proline peptide bond isomerization, affecting substrate protein function. In this study, through RNAi-based behavioral screening of PPIases in , we identified , termed peptidyl-prolyl isomerase-like 4 (dPPIL4), as crucial for circadian rhythm regulation. Knockdown of in clock cells lengthened the circadian rhythm period and decreased rhythmicity, accompanied by a significant reduction of core clock protein PERIOD (PER). knockdown downregulated transcription and reduced phosphorylation at Ser5 in the RNA polymerase II C-terminal domain, critical for transcription elongation. In addition, dPPIL4 stabilized Cullin1 of the Skp1-Cullin1-F-box protein complex, a key regulator of PER degradation. Our findings suggest that dPPIL4 supports high-amplitude PER oscillation by enhancing both synthesis and degradation processes in a timely manner. In conclusion, our study underscores the importance of high-amplitude PER oscillations in PER for robust circadian rhythms and highlights the critical role of dPPIL4 in this process.
肽基脯氨酰异构酶(PPIases)加速脯氨酸肽键的异构化,影响底物蛋白的功能。在本研究中,通过基于RNA干扰的对[生物名称]中PPIases的行为筛选,我们鉴定出肽基脯氨酰异构酶样4(dPPIL4)对昼夜节律调节至关重要。在生物钟细胞中敲低[基因名称]会延长昼夜节律周期并降低节律性,同时核心生物钟蛋白周期蛋白(PER)显著减少。敲低[基因名称]会下调[基因名称]的转录,并减少RNA聚合酶II C末端结构域中Ser5位点的磷酸化,这对转录延伸至关重要。此外,dPPIL4稳定了Skp1-Cullin1-F盒蛋白复合物的Cullin1,后者是PER降解的关键调节因子。我们的研究结果表明,dPPIL4通过及时增强合成和降解过程来支持高振幅的PER振荡。总之,我们的研究强调了高振幅的PER振荡对稳健的昼夜节律的重要性,并突出了dPPIL4在此过程中的关键作用。
