Understanding and engineering photoresponses in Arabidopsis thaliana
… sensitive phytochromes, the blue light sensitive cryptochromes, phototropins and zeitlupe family and the UV-B receptor UVR8. The role of phototropins in the maintenance of circadian rhythms in the chloroplast has been recently identified, suggesting the potential for further involvement of …

Cloning of "Animal Cryptochrome" cDNA from the Model Organism <i>CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII</i> for Functional Analysis of Its Protein Product
… a model organism to study the circadian clock. Cryptochromes are the blue light photoreceptors that entrain the clock in some organisms. The CPH1 protein of <i>C. reinhardtii</i> resembles the cryptochromes of the plant model <i>Arabidopsis</i>, but whether CPH1 entrains the circadian clock in …

The role of photoreceptors in human skin physiology; potential targets for light-based wound healing treatments. Identification of opsins and cryptochromes and the effect of photobiomodulation on human skin and in cultured primary epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts
… and the circadian clock transcription factors, cryptochromes (CRYs). Localisation of OPN1-SW, OPN3, OPN5, CRY1 and CRY2 was seen in female facial and abdominal human skin. Furthermore, expression of these photoreceptors was retained in primary epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts in …

Computational simulations of excitation energy transfer and electron transfer in biological systems
… through analyzing protein families including cryptochromes/photolyases, Ia RNR, and bCcPs/MauGs. We will further demonstrate how eMap can be used in conjunction with other bioinformatic and AI structure-prediction tools to identify ETP rooted functions based on sequence data alone.

Unravelling novel molecular targets for photobiomodulation in human hair follicle towards the development of more effective light-based therapies for hair growth
… light on hair growth ex vivo. The expression of Cryptochromes 1 and 2 (CRY1, 2), Opsin 2 and 3 (OPN2 and OPN3), but not other Opsins 1, 4 and 5 was detected in the distinct compartments of skin and anagen HF. Evaluation of the physiological role of detected light-sensitive receptors on hair …

Architecture of the Mammalian Circadian Repressive Complex
Intricate timing systems have evolved to help organisms in all walks of life organize their physiology to the solar day. Mammalian circadian clocks are driven by a transcription/translation feedback loop composed of positive regulators (CLOCK/BMAL1) and repressors (CRY1/2 and PER1/2). To understand …

Structure-function analysis of phototropin receptor kinases
… most sensitive to red and far-red light, and the cryptochromes and phototropins, which are UV-A and blue light receptors. Additional photosensors, including the recently identified ZEITLUPE/ADAGIO family, have roles in modulating the action of these main components. Plants can also respond to UV-B …

Using Translational Switching to Investigate the SCN Clockwork
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus is the principal clock driving circadian rhythms of physiology and behaviour that adapt mammals to environmental cycles. Timekeeping in the SCN is underpinned by a self-sustaining cell-autonomous transcriptional/translational delayed feedback …

Investigation of phototropin blue light receptor function and signalling in arabidopsis
… the red and far-red wavelengths of light while cryptochromes, phototropins and members of the ZTL/ADO family respond to blue and UV-A wavelengths of light. Phototropins are UV-A/blue-light receptor kinases found ubiquitously in plants from the unicellular green alga Chalmydomonas reinhardtii …
