Drosophila PERIOD PAS domain fragment

Protein Domain·Research·Since 2009

Also known as: dPER fragment, dPER PAS-A/PAS-B fragment

Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Component. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

The Drosophila PERIOD PAS domain fragment is a dPER protein segment comprising the PAS-A and PAS-B domains. Structural and functional analyses indicate that this fragment participates in PAS-mediated protein interactions, with the PAS-B beta-sheet surface mediating heterodimer formation with Drosophila TIMELESS (dTIM).

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This fragment is useful for dissecting interaction surfaces within the Drosophila circadian clock protein PERIOD. It provides a defined domain-level reagent for studying how PAS-domain interfaces contribute to dPER partner recognition, particularly interaction with dTIM.

Problem solved

It helps isolate the specific region of dPER responsible for PAS-mediated binding behavior. In particular, it addresses the problem of identifying which surface within the dPER PAS region mediates heterodimerization with dTIM.

Taxonomy & Function

Mechanism Branch

Component: A low-level protein part used inside a larger architecture that realizes a mechanism.

Target processes

No target processes tagged yet.

Implementation Constraints

The construct is a Drosophila PERIOD fragment comprising two PER-ARNT-SIM domains, PAS-A and PAS-B. The supplied evidence does not report cofactors, host expression system, delivery modality, or specific construct boundaries beyond inclusion of the two PAS domains.

The available evidence is limited to one cited study and focuses on structural and functional analysis of interaction surfaces rather than broad tool validation. No evidence here describes expression conditions, binding affinities, in vivo performance, or use outside the reported dPER-dTIM interaction context.

Comparisons

Source-backed strengths

The fragment contains both PAS-A and PAS-B, the relevant interaction module analyzed in the cited study. Evidence specifically assigns the PAS-B beta-sheet surface as the interaction site for dTIM, and the work places this interface in a comparative context with mammalian PER2 PAS-domain interactions.
