DNA photolyases and cryptochromes

Mutation Research/DNA Repair, 2000
This brief review gives an overview of the gene family of photolyases and cryptochromes, followed by a description of the main features of the three-dimensional structures of photolyases known to date. It then discusses recent biophysical studies of photolyase function, and modelling studies on the interaction between the enzyme and its substrate.

Cryptochrome Structure and Signal Transduction

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2003
Cryptochromes are photosensory receptors mediating light regulation of growth and development in plants. Since the isolation of the Arabidopsis CRY1 gene in 1993, cryptochromes have been found in every multicellular eukaryote examined. Most plant cryptochromes have a chromophore-binding domain that shares similar structure with DNA photolyase, and a ...

ROLE OF CRYPTOCHROME-1 AND CRYPTOCHROME-2 IN ALDOSTERONE SECRETION

Journal of Hypertension, 2019
Objective:Knock-out mice for the genes Cry1 and Cry2 lack the circadian clock components Cryptochrome-1 and Cryptochrome-2 and display a form of hyperaldosteronism sustained by the upregulation of type VI 3β-hydroxyl-steroid dehydrogenase (Hsd3b6).

Cryptochromes and biological clocks

Resonance, 2002
Many of the biological activities of living organisms are light dependent and revolve around the solar clock. A variety of behaviours and physiological processes are under the control of internal biological clocks. These internal clocks are remarkably synchronized with the external solar clock (day-night cycle of 24 hour periodicity).

Cryptochrome, Some Terminological Thoughts

1984
From the beginning of the investigation of responses of plants to blue light there was the dilemma that a proper expression for the photoreceptor did not exist. The term “blue-UV light photoreceptor” is rather long-winded, particularly when contrasted with the attractive term “phytochrome” for red light-triggered photomorphogenic responses.
