Vertebrate Cryptochromes are Vestigial Flavoproteins [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractAll cryptochromes are currently classified as flavoproteins. In animals their best-described role is as components of the circadian clock. This circadian function is variable, and can be either light-dependent or -independent; the molecular origin of this difference is unknown.

Journal of Chemical Physics, 2021 The avian compass and many other of nature's magnetoreceptive traits are widely ascribed to the protein cryptochrome. There, magnetosensitivity is thought to emerge as the spin dynamics of radicals in the applied magnetic field enters in competition with

Genome biology, 2005 Cryptochromes are photoreceptors that regulate entrainment by light of the circadian clock in plants and animals. They also act as integral parts of the central circadian oscillator in animal brains and as receptors controlling photomorphogenesis in response to blue or ultraviolet (UV-A) light in plants.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019 Circadian rhythms regulate many biological processes and play fundamental roles in behavior, physiology, and metabolism. Such periodicity is critical for homeostasis because disruption or misalignment of the intrinsic rhythms is associated with the onset

Plants, 2023 Petunia hybrida Hort. “Easy Wave Pink”, a qualitative long-day plant (LDP), was investigated to study the effects of the night interruption light (NIL) provided by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) quality shifting on the morphogenesis, blooming, and ...

New Phytologist, 2021 DASH cryptochromes belong to the cryptochrome/photolyase family and can act as DNA repair enzymes. In bacteria and fungi, they can also play regulatory roles, but in plants their biological functions remain elusive.

The Mammalian Circadian Timing System and the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus as Its Pacemaker
Biology, 2019 The past twenty years have witnessed the most remarkable breakthroughs in our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underpin circadian (approximately one day) time-keeping.

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 Sensitivity to magnetic fields is dependent on the intensity and color of light in several animal species. The of light-dependent magnetoreception working model points to Cryptochrome (Cry) as a protein able to cooperate with its cofactor flavin, which ...

Updated structure of Drosophila cryptochrome [PDF]
Nature, 2013 Arising from B. D. Zoltowski et al. , 396–399 (2011)10.1038/nature10618 Recently, we determined the X-ray crystal structure of full-length cryptochrome from Drosophila1. Here we report an improved model of the Drosophila cryptochrome (dCRY) structure that corrects errors in the original coordinates (
