Phase-shifting the fruit fly clock without cryptochrome.

Journal of biological rhythms - 1 Apr 2012

Kistenpfennig Christa, Hirsh Jay, Yoshii Taishi, Helfrich-Förster Charlotte

Abstract excerpt

The blue light photopigment cryptochrome (CRY) is thought to be the main circadian photoreceptor of Drosophila melanogaster. Nevertheless, entrainment to light-dark cycles is possible without functional CRY. Here, we monitored phase response curves of cry(01) mutants and control flies to 1-hour 1000-lux light pulses. We found that cry(01) mutants phase-shift their activity rhythm in...
