The binding between CLOCK and BMAL1 involves the N-terminal bHLH, PAS-A and PAS-B domains of both proteins. Each domain binds to its corresponding equivalent domain in the other protein. Though both proteins contain the same types of domains with similar primary amino acid sequences in each, the overall heterodimer is surprisingly asymmetrical due to differences in the spatial orientation of the domains in each protein. Since this heterodimer complex involves the binding of all of the major domains in both participating proteins, the overall binding affinity is very high. | The binding between CLOCK and BMAL1 involves the N-terminal bHLH, PAS-A and PAS-B domains of both proteins.

The circadian rhythm is the 24 hour protein regulation system found in most mammalian species. The circadian rhythm causes certain proteins to be expressed during the day and then downregulated during the night. The circadian rhythm originates in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is located in the hypothalamus. The SCN controls the expression of of proteins in a time dependent manner through a genetic feedback loop initiated by light passing through the eye. The CLOCK:BMAL1 heterodimer complex is a vital component of this system as this heterodimer binds to the E-box promoter region of other circadian rhythm proteins and trigger the transcription of those proteins. These proteins then repress their own transcription in order to regulate the protein content to the appropriate levels. | The circadian rhythm is the 24 hour protein regulation system found in most mammalian species.
