Abstract in brief

  • This research uncovers the detailed 3D structure of plant Cryptochrome2 (CRY2) in its active form, highlighting how light triggers structural changes necessary for its function.
  • It shows that upon light exposure, CRY2 undergoes oligomerization (forming a tetramer), driven by specific structural elements and key amino acids that change dynamically during photoactivation.
  • The findings provide a new understanding of how plant cryptochromes respond to light at a molecular level and how their activity is regulated through interaction with other proteins, advancing knowledge of plant growth and circadian regulation.]
