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 ...

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 (

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.

Cryptochromes Suppress HIF1α in Muscles
iScience, 2020 Muscles preferentially utilize glycolytic or oxidative metabolism depending on the intensity of physical activity. Transcripts required for carbohydrate and lipid metabolism undergo circadian oscillations of expression in muscles, and both exercise capacity and the metabolic response to exercise are influenced by time of day.

Chronic sleep deprivation promotes drug‐resistant epilepsy via the BMAL1‐mTOR‐P‐gp axis
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective The interplay between chronic sleep deprivation and drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) has gained increasing attention. Brain and muscle Arnt‐like protein 1 (BMAL1), which is implicated in sleep disturbance, has an unclear role in DRE. We aimed to investigate the role of BMAL1 in sleep deprivation‐induced DRE. Methods A pentylenetetrazole

Calmodulin Enhances Cryptochrome Binding to INAD in Drosophila Photoreceptors
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018 Light is the main environmental stimulus that synchronizes the endogenous timekeeping systems in most terrestrial organisms. Drosophila cryptochrome (dCRY) is a light-responsive flavoprotein that detects changes in light intensity and wavelength around ...
