Cryptochromes are a highly conserved class of UV-A/blue light photoreceptors. In
Drosophila, cryptochrome is required for the normal entrainment of circadian rhythms to light …

CRYPTOCHROMES (CRYs) are structurally related to ultraviolet (UV)/blue-sensitive DNA
repair enzymes called photolyases but lack the ability to repair pyrimidine dimers generated …

The blue-light photoreceptive protein Cryptochrome (CRY) plays an important role in the
light synchronization of the Drosophila circadian clock. Previously, we found that among the …

The blue light photopigment cryptochrome (CRY) is thought to be the main circadian
photoreceptor of Drosophila melanogaster. Nevertheless, entrainment to light-dark cycles is …

Cryptochrome (CRY) is a blue-light-absorbing protein involved in the photic entrainment of
the circadian clock in Drosophila melanogaster. We have investigated the locomotor activity …

Cryptochrome (CRY) is a short-wavelength light-sensitive photoreceptor expressed in a
subset of circadian neurons and eyes in Drosophila that regulates light-evoked circadian …

Cryptochromes are conserved flavoprotein receptors found throughout the biological
kingdom with diversified roles in plant development and entrainment of the circadian clock in …

Cryptochromes are flavoproteins that are evolutionary related to the DNA photolyases but
lack DNA repair activity. Drosophila cryptochrome (dCRY) is a blue light photoreceptor that …

Entrainment to environmental light/dark (LD) cycles is a central function of circadian clocks.
In Drosophila, entrainment is achieved by Cryptochrome (CRY) and input from the visual …

The daily light-dark cycles represent a key signal for synchronizing circadian clocks. Both
insects and mammals possess dedicated" circadian" photoreceptors but also utilize the …
