摘要

Cryptochromes (CRYs) have been found in a wide variety of living organisms and call function a blue light photoreceptors, circadian clock molecules, or magnetoreceptors. Non-mammalian vertebrates have CRY4 in addition to the CRY1 and CRY2 circadian clock con-Toner-its. Though the function of CRY4 is not well understood, chicken CRY4 (cCRY4) may be a magnetoreceptor because of its high level of expression in the retina and light-dependent structural,changes in retinal homogenates. To farther Characterize the photosensitive nature of cCRY4, we developed an expression system using budding yeast and purified cCRY4 at yields of submilligrams of protein per liter with binding of the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) chromophore. Recombinant cCRY4 dissociated from. anti-cCRY4 C1 mAb, which recognizes the C-terminal region of cCRY4, in a light-dependent manner and showed a light-dependent change in its trypsin digestion pattern, suggesting that cCRY4 changes its conformation with light irradiation in the absence of other retinal factors. Combinatorial analyses with UV-visible spectroscopy and immunoprecipitation revealed that there is chromophore reduction in the cCRY4 photocycle and formation of a flavosemiquinone radical intermediate that is likely accompanied by a conformational change in the carboxyl-terminal region. Thus, cCRY4 seems to be an intrinsically photosensitive and photoswitchable molecule and may exemplify a vertebrate model of cryptochrome with possible function as a photosensor and/or magnetoreceptor.
