CRYPTOCHROME-mediated phototransduction by modulation of the potassium ion channel β-subunit redox sensor

Significance CRYPTOCHROMES (CRYs) are blue light photoreceptors that mediate phototransduction in brain arousal neurons, as well as circadian light entrainment in Drosophila fruit flies. We describe how light-activated Drosophila CRY couples to membrane depolarization and increased action potential...
