Abstract excerpt
Basic-Helix-Loop-Helix-Per-Arnt-Sim (bHLH-PAS) transcription factor, Brain-Muscle-Arnt-Like-protein 1 (BMAL1), forms a heterodimer with the CLOCK protein. The BMAL1/CLOCK complex binds to a specific DNA sequence and plays an essential role in the generation of the circadian rhythm. The basic region of BMAL1 contains an E-R-X-R motif that is highly conserved among basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription...
