During the day, with levels of its stabilising partner Timeless (TIM) drastically reduced by light, hyperphosphorylated Period (PER) becomes a target for the F-box containing protein, supernumerary limbs (SLMB). Ser47 phosphorylation of Period (PER) appears to be the trigger for SLMB to bind and facilitate ubiquitination of phosphorylated PER, marking it for processing by the 26S proteasome. In this model for the Circadian Clock pathway we are assuming that the cytoplasmic and nuclear mechanisms for PER degradation are the same.
