It is also suggested that most of the regulators of biological clock (per, cry genes/gene products) undergo posttranslational modification especially phosphorylation by casein kinase I (CK-I) and Dexras1 has been shown to have phosphorylation site for CK-I [58].
(iii) Recently, another approach has been developed called PROTOMAP (Protein Topography and Migration Analysis Platform) which combines Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Poly Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDSPAGE) with shotgun proteomics to enable detection of changes in gel migration such as those caused by proteolysis or posttranslational modification [11].
