Cryptochromes are flavoproteins, structurally and evolutionarily related to photolyases, that
are involved in the development, magnetoreception, and temporal organization of a variety …

The C-terminus of cryptochrome (CRY) regulates light responses in Drosophila. These
include the light-dependent binding of Drosophila dCRY to the clock proteins PERIOD and …

Cryptochrome (CRY) is the primary circadian photoreceptor in Drosophila. Upon light
absorption, dCRY undergoes a conformational change that enables it to bind to Timeless …

Cryptochrome (CRY) is a blue-light sensitive flavoprotein that functions as the primary
circadian photoreceptor in Drosophila melanogaster. The mechanism by which it transmits …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are a class of flavoproteins that sense blue light. In animals, CRYs
are expressed in the eyes and in the clock neurons that control sleep/wake cycles and are …

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

Cryptochromes are evolutionarily related to the light‐dependent DNA repair enzyme
photolyase, serving as major regulators of circadian rhythms in insects and vertebrate …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are flavoproteins important for the molecular clocks of animals [1].
The Drosophila cryptochrome (dCRY) is a circadian photoreceptor [2–5], whereas mouse …

In this study, we investigate the intricate regulatory mechanisms underlying the circadian
clock in Drosophila, focusing on the light‐induced conformational changes in the …
