Signaling Mechanisms by Arabidopsis Cryptochromes [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Cryptochromes (CRYs) are blue light photoreceptors that regulate growth, development, and metabolism in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), CRY1 and CRY2 possess partially redundant and overlapping functions.

Cryptochromes Suppress HIF1α in Muscles [PDF]

iScience, 2020
Summary: 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 ...

Fungal cryptochrome with DNA repair activity reveals an early stage in cryptochrome evolution [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
DASH (Drosophila, Arabidopsis, Synechocystis, Human)-type cryp- tochromes (cry-DASH) belong to a family of flavoproteins acting as repair enzymes for UV-B–induced DNA lesions (photolyases) or as UV-A/blue light photoreceptors (cryptochromes).

Shedding light on animal cryptochromes. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2008
Anyone who's neglected a houseplant for any length of time knows that plants can't survive without light. But it's more complicated than that; in addition to serving as an energy source, light is used by plants as a signal to sense and respond to the environment.

Roles of a Cryptochrome in Carbon Fixation and Sucrose Metabolism in the Liverwort Marchantia polymorpha

Cells, 2021
In vascular plants, cryptochromes acting as blue-light photoreceptors have various functions to adapt plants to the fluctuating light conditions on land, while the roles of cryptochromes in bryophytes have been rarely reported.

The Potorous CPD photolyase rescues a cryptochrome-deficient mammalian circadian clock. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Despite the sequence and structural conservation between cryptochromes and photolyases, members of the cryptochrome/photolyase (flavo)protein family, their functions are divergent.

Discovery of a small molecule that selectively destabilizes Cryptochrome 1 and enhances life span in p53 knockout mice

Nature Communications, 2022
Cryptochromes are transcriptional regulators of the circadian clock in mammals, and genetic loss of cryptochromes reduces p53-associated cancer risk in mice.

CRY1 Gene Polymorphism and Racing Performance of Homing Pigeons

Animals, 2021
Cryptochromes (CRY) are the family of proteins proposed as the putative magnetoreceptor molecules. In birds, among others in pigeons, CRY1 is widely expressed in a retina.

Integration of circadian and hypoxia signaling via non-canonical heterodimerization. [PDF]

FEBS Lett
CLOCK, BMAL1, and HIFs are basic helix‐loop‐helix and Per‐Arnt‐Sim domain (bHLH‐PAS) proteins, which function as transcription factors. bHLH‐PAS proteins are designated in two classes. Many class I proteins are regulated by environmental signals via their PAS domains, but such signals have not been identified for all.
