Structure of full-length Drosophila cryptochrome [PDF]
Nature, 2011 The cryptochrome/photolyase (CRY/PL) family of photoreceptors mediates adaptive responses to ultraviolet and blue light exposure in all kingdoms of life. Whereas PLs function predominantly in DNA repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photolesions caused by ultraviolet radiation, CRYs transduce signals important for growth, development,

Circadian light-input pathways in Drosophila
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 Light is the most important environmental cue to entrain the circadian clock in most animals. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the light entrainment mechanisms of the clock have been well-studied.

UV Radiation in DNA Damage and Repair Involving DNA-Photolyases and Cryptochromes
Biomedicines, 2021 Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation on human skin can lead to mutations in DNA, photoaging, suppression of the immune system, and other damage up to skin cancer (melanoma, basal cell, and squamous cell carcinoma).

Sensing Magnetic Directions in Birds: Radical Pair Processes Involving Cryptochrome
Biosensors, 2014 Birds can use the geomagnetic field for compass orientation. Behavioral experiments, mostly with migrating passerines, revealed three characteristics of the avian magnetic compass: (1) it works spontaneously only in a narrow functional window around the ...

Circadian rhythms and circadian clock gene homologs of complex alga Chromera velia
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Most organisms on Earth are affected by periodic changes in their environment. The circadian clock is an endogenous device that synchronizes behavior, physiology, or biochemical processes to an approximately 24-hour cycle, allowing organisms to ...

Communications Chemistry, 2021 In the biological magnetic compass, blue-light photoreceptor protein of cryptochrome is thought to conduct the sensing of the Earth’s magnetic field by photoinduced sequential long-range charge-separation (CS) through a cascade of tryptophan residues, W ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Contextual fear conditioning induces BNIP3L‐dependent mitochondrial fission in glutamatergic neurons of the BLA, independently of mitophagy. Loss of BNIP3L elevates Drp1Ser637 phosphorylation, thereby suppressing mitochondrial fission, compromising ATP production, and attenuating excitatory synaptic transmission.

Traceless Regulation of Genetic Circuitry
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Energy‐based, as opposed to molecular, control offers unprecedented improvements in key circuit parameters. This review summarizes the fundamentals of such traceless switches, categorizes them by trigger modalities, and compares and contrasts distinct advantages as well as shortcomings of each kind.

Structure and Function of Animal Cryptochromes [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 2007 Cryptochrome (CRY) is a photolyase-like flavoprotein with no DNA-repair activity but with known or presumed blue-light receptor function. Animal CRYs have DNA-binding and autokinase activities, and their flavin cofactor is reduced by photoinduced electron transfer.
