The E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor Tango10 links the core circadian clock to neuropeptide and behavioral rhythms

Abstract

In animals, the control of daily sleep–wake rhythms is mediated by discrete circadian clock neurons via their rhythmic activity–dependent release of neuropeptides and neurotransmitters. Here, we describe a gene, Tango10 , critical for daily behavioral rhythms. TANGO10 functions as an adaptor with its partner, the E3 ubiquitin ligase CULLIN 3, to regulate protein ubiquitination, neuronal excitability via voltage-gated potassium channels, and neuropeptide accumulation. These studies define a mechanism for control of neuronal excitability and daily rhythmicity.
