General description
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 1 (UniProt: O00327 also known as Basic-helix-loop-helix-PAS protein MOP3, Brain and muscle ARNT-like 1, BMAL1, Class E basic helix-loop-helix protein 5, bHLHe5; Member of PAS protein 3, PAS domain-containing protein 3, bHLH-PAS protein JAP3) is encoded by the ARNTL (also known as BHLHE5; BMAL1; MOP3; PASD3) gene (gene ID 406) in human. BMLA1 is highly expressed in the adult brain, skeletal muscle, and heart. It is a transcriptional activator that forms a core component of the circadian clock. These components include ARNTL/BMAL1, CLOCK, NPAS2, ARNTL2/BMAL2, PER1, PER2, PER3, CRY1, and CRY2. CLOCK or NPAS2 and ARNTL/BMAL1 or ARNTL2/BMAL2 form the positive limb of the feedback loop. They act in the form of a heterodimer and activate the transcription of core clock genes and clock-controlled genes that are involved in key metabolic processes. PER1/2/3 and CRY1/2, act as transcriptional repressors and form the negative limb of the feedback loop. They interact with the CLOCK|NPAS2-ARNTL/BMAL1|ARNTL2/BMAL2 heterodimer inhibiting its activity. BMLA1 is reported to be phosphorylated upon dimerization with CLOCK and this phosphorylation enhances its transcriptional activity and reduces the stability of the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer by promoting its degradation. BMAL1 is shown to positively regulate myogenesis and negatively regulate adipogenesis via the transcriptional control of the genes of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. BMAL1 is the only component of the mammalian circadian clock whose deletion in a murine model is shown to generate arrhythmicity. BMAL1 null-mice are reported to have reproductive problems, reduced locomotor activity, and they age quickly.
~70 kDa observed. 68.8 kDa calculated. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some lysate(s).
