Analysis of the circadian clock regulation by ubiquitination in Arabidopsis

昼夜节律对于高等植物在不断变化的环境中生存至关重要。在这项研究中，我们研究了生物钟和蛋白质修饰之间的关系，如泛素化和其他泛素样修饰。我们发现了某些泛素连接酶和底物蛋白可能调节日时依赖的抗病性。我们还发现了一个新的可能的机制，器官的延伸时钟蛋白的泛素化的目标。

Circadian rhythms are essential for higher plants to survive in the changing environment. In this study, we investigated the relationships between the circadian clock and the protein modifications such as ubiquitination and other ubiquitin-like modifications. We found the possibility that some ubiquitin ligases and substrate proteins might regulate the time-of-day dependent disease resistance. We also found a novel possible regulation mechanism of organ elongation by clock proteins which are targeted by ubiquitination.
