Mitochondrial inhibitors reveal roles of specific respiratory chain complexes in CRY-dependent degradation of TIM.

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila Cryptochrome (CRY) is an essential photoreceptor that mediates the resetting of the circadian clock by light. in vitro studies demonstrated a critical role of redox cycling of the FAD cofactor for CRY activation by light. However, it is unknown if CRY responds to cellular redox environment to modulate the circadian clock. We report here that the mitochondrial respiratory chain impinges on CRY activity....
