Fungal cryptochrome with DNA repair activity reveals an early stage in cryptochrome evolution [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance Photolyases repair UV-B–induced DNA lesions. They form a large protein family together with cryptochrome photoreceptors (cryptochrome/photolyase family, CPF). A more recently discovered CPF subclade consists of DASH ( Drosophila , Arabidopsis , Synechocystis

Drosophila photoreceptor systems converge in arousal neurons and confer light responsive robustness
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 Lateral ventral neurons (LNvs) in the fly circadian neural circuit mediate behaviors other than clock resetting, including light-activated acute arousal. Converging sensory inputs often confer functional redundancy.

Cryptochrome 1 mediates light-dependent inclination magnetosensing in monarch butterflies
Nature Communications, 2021 Many animals use the Earth’s geomagnetic field for orientation and navigation. Yet, the molecular and cellular underpinnings of the magnetic sense remain largely unknown.

Light exposure during development affects physiology of adults in Drosophila melanogaster
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Light is one of most important factors synchronizing organisms to day/night cycles in the environment. In Drosophila it is received through compound eyes, Hofbauer-Buchner eyelet, ocelli, using phospholipase C-dependent phototransduction and by deep ...

Clocks, cryptochromes and Monarch migrations [PDF]
Journal of Biology, 2009 The annual migration of the Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) from eastern North America to central Mexico is one of nature's most inspiring spectacles. Recent studies including one in BMC Biology, have begun to dissect the molecular and neurogenetic basis for this most complex behavior.

The circadian cryptochrome, CRY1, is a pro-tumorigenic factor that rhythmically modulates DNA repair
Nature Communications, 2021 Mechanisms regulating DNA repair processes remain incompletely defined. Here, the circadian factor CRY1, an evolutionally conserved transcriptional coregulator, is identified as a tumor specific regulator of DNA repair. Key findings demonstrate that CRY1

Nature Communications, 2022 The moon’s monthly cycle synchronizes reproduction in countless marine organisms. The mass-spawning bristle worm Platynereis dumerilii uses an endogenous monthly oscillator set by full moon to phase reproduction to specific days.

Mechanisms of Cryptochrome-Mediated Photoresponses in Plants.
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2020 Cryptochromes are blue-light receptors that mediate photoresponses in plants. The genomes of most land plants encode two clades of cryptochromes, CRY1 and CRY2, which mediate distinct and overlapping photoresponses within the same species and between ...
