RBBP5 Found to Control Cell's 12-Hour Protein Clock
Original: RBBP5 Emerges as a Master Epigenetic Switch Controlling the Cell’s 12-Hour Proteostasis Clock
Researchers report that the protein RBBP5 acts as a master epigenetic switch governing the cell's 12-hour proteostasis rhythm, a recently identified internal clock that regulates how cells maintain and recycle their proteins. The finding suggests RBBP5 could influence protein quality control, with potential implications for aging and diseases linked to protein misfolding.
Why now: New research naming RBBP5 as a key regulator of the cell's 12-hour clock offers a fresh target for studying protein balance and related diseases.
