Molecular basis for blue light-dependent phosphorylation of Arabidopsis cryptochrome 2
Nature Communications, 2017 Plant cryptochromes are regulated by blue-light dependent phosphorylation. Here the authors map thein vivo phosphorylation sites of Arabidopsiscryptochrome 2 and identify four closely related kinases that act to both activate and destabilize the receptor

An evolutionary hotspot defines functional differences between CRYPTOCHROMES
Nature Communications, 2018 The molecular mechanisms that define the periodicity or rate of the circadian clock are not well understood. Here the authors use a multidisciplinary approach and identify a mechanism for period regulation that depends on the affinity of the core clock ...

The DNA Binding Properties of the Parsley bZIP Transcription Factor CPRF4a Are Regulated by Light [PDF]
, 2001 The common plant regulatory factors (CPRFs) from parsley are transcription factors with a basic leucine zipper motif that bind to cis-regulatory elements frequently found in promoters of light-regulated genes.

The Possible Role of Extra-ocular Photoreceptors in the Entrainment of Lobster Circadian Rhythms to Light:Dark Cycles [PDF]
, 2013 The American lobster, Homarus americanus, is a decapod crustacean whose daily nocturnal rhythms of activity are driven, in part, by an internal biological clock. While this circadian clock is capable of producing a rhythm of approximately 24 hours on its

The Coevolution of Blue-Light Photoreception and Circadian Rhythms [PDF]
, 2018 Sunlight is a primary source of energy for life. However, its UV component causes DNA damage. We suggest that the strong UV component of sunlight contributed to the selective pressure for the evolution of the specialized photoreceptor cryptochrome from ...

Plant Photoreceptors: Phylogenetic Overview [PDF]
, 2018 Plants possess photoreceptors to perceive light which controls most aspects of their lives. Three photoreceptor families are well characterized: cryptochromes (crys), phototropins (phots), and phytochromes (phys).
