Diagram to represent the interrelated factors involved in the photo-regulatory mechanisms of Arabidopsis CRY complexes. Dual mechanisms of action, including the “Lock-and-Key” and the “Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS)” mechanisms, explain, at least partially, the structural diversity of CRY-interacting proteins and the functional diversity of the CRY photoreceptors.

"Cry engages a continuous core of amino-terminal Tim armadillo repeats, resembling how recognize damaged DNA, and binds a C-terminal Tim helix, reminiscent of the interactions between light-insensitive and their partners in mammals..a phosphorylated segment in Tim may impact clock period by regulating the binding of Importin-α and the nuclear import of Tim–Per"

Sensing Blue Light: From #Bacteria to #Birds schaechter.asmblog.org/schaech @STCmicrobeblog

"How #photolyases and #cryptochromes evolved to carry out their different light-dependent functions is unclear. Their capacity to sense blue light is a feature that likely evolved very early in Earth's history. Thus, plant and animal cryptochromes probably evolved from some ancestral photolyases. One of the most fascinating adaptations is, undoubtedly, the involvement of cryptochromes in #bird #navigation."

Proposed Mechanism for Quantum Magneto­reception in Birds. Cryptochrome in cells in the retina of the eye absorb blue light and form radical pairs of electrons which can spin either in opposition or in parallel, providing an extremely sensitive quantum detector for the Earth's weak magnetic field. The direction of the field influences the proportion of the cytochrome molecules that enter different states. The direction is signaled via a cascade of neurotransmitter molecules, and then to the brain via nerve impulses in the optic nerve.
