Decoupling PER phosphorylation, stability and rhythmic expression from circadian clock function by abolishing PER-CK1 interaction

PERIOD proteins, the core components of the mammalian circadian clock, act as the CK1 scaffold in the negative feedback process. Surprisingly, the mouse circadian clock can function independent of PER phosphorylation and PER abundance rhythms.
