We found that one cryptochrome from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CraCRY) is capable of both, control of transcript levels and the sexual cycle of the alga in a positive (germination) and negative manner (mating ability), as well as catalyzing the repair of UV-DNA lesions. Its 1.6 A crystal structure shows besides the FAD chromophore an aromatic tetrad that is indispensable in animal-like type I cryptochromes for light-driven change of their signaling-active redox state and formation of a stable radical pair. Given CraCRY's catalytic activity as (6-4) photolyase in vivo and in vitro, we present the first co-crystal structure of a cryptochrome with duplex DNA comprising a (6-4) pyrimidine-pyrimidone lesion. This 2.9 A structure reveals a distinct conformation for the catalytic histidine His1, H357, that challenges previous models of a single-photon driven (6-4) photolyase mechanism.
