Cryptochrome Is a Regulator of Synaptic Plasticity in the Visual System of Drosophila melanogaster

Drosophila CRYPTOCHROME (CRY) is a blue light sensitive protein with a key role in circadian photoreception. A main feature of CRY is that light promotes an interaction with the circadian protein TIMELESS (TIM) resulting in their ubiquitination and degradation, a mechanism that contributes to the sy...
