Primary Identifier | IPR020978 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | Cryptochrome_C |
description | Cryptochromes are blue/ultraviolet-A light sensing photoreceptors involved in regulating various growth and developmental responses in plants []. Cryptochromes are inactive monomers in the dark but change its conformation to homooligomers upon photon absoption []. This entry represents the C-terminal end of Cryptochrome proteins from plants, which is typically between 113 and 125 amino acids in length. The domain is found in association with and .In Arabidopsis, a conformational change in the C-terminal domain is required for activity []. The domain is know to interact with the protein COP1 []. |
