Structural insights into photoactivation of plant Cryptochrome-2
Palayam, Ganapathy, Guercio et al. determine the crystal structure of the photosensory domain of Arabidopsis Cryptochrome-2 (CRY2) in a tetrameric active state, identifying critical residues that participate in photo-induced oligomerization of CRY2. This study offers an updated model of CRY’s photoa...
