Photoexcited cryptochromes interact with signaling partner proteins to alter gene expression at both transcriptional and post-translational levels and, consequently, regulate the corresponding metabolic and developmental programs (PubMed:21841916). Blue-light absorbing flavoprotein that activates reversible flavin photoreduction via an electron transport chain comprising a tryptophan triad (W-321, W-374 and W-397), or via an alternative electron transport that involves small metabolites, including NADPH, NADH, and ATP. The half-life of the activated signaling state is about 16 minutes (PubMed:25428980, PubMed:23398192). Perceives low blue light (LBL) and responds by directly contacting two bHLH transcription factors, PIF4 and PIF5, at chromatin on E-box variant 5'-CA[CT]GTG-3' to promote their activity and stimulate specific gene expression to adapt global physiology (e.g. hypocotyl elongation and hyponastic growth in low blue light) (PubMed:26724867, PubMed:19558423). In response to blue light, binds to CIB proteins (e.g. BHLH63/CIB1 and BHLH76/CIB5) to activates transcription and floral initiation (PubMed:24130508). Mediates blue light-induced gene expression, floral initiation and hypocotyl elongation through the interaction with SPA1 that prevents formation of SPA1/COP1 complex but stimulates COP1 binding, and thus inhibits COP1-mediated degradation of transcription factors (e.g. CO and HY5) (PubMed:21514160, PubMed:21511872, PubMed:16093319). Promotes flowering time in continuous light (LL) (PubMed:21296763). Involved in shortening the circadian clock period, especially at 27 degrees Celsius, in blue light (BL). Required to maintain clock genes expression rhythm (PubMed:23511208). Triggers nuclear accumulation of ROS in response to blue light illumination (PubMed:26179959). Involved in blue light-dependent stomatal opening, transpiration and inhibition of stem and root growth, probably by regulating abscisic acid (ABA) (PubMed:22147516, PubMed:16093319, PubMed:16703358, PubMed:9482948, PubMed:9565033). Regulates the timing of flowering by promoting the expression of 'FLOWERING LOCUS T' (FT) in vascular bundles. Negatively regulated by 'FLOWERING LOCUS C' (FLC) (PubMed:14605222, PubMed:17259260). General positive regulator of reversible low light-induced chromatin decompaction (PubMed:20935177). Involved in triggering chromatin decondensation during floral transition (PubMed:17470059). Together with phototropins, involved in phototropism regulation by various blue light fluence; blue light attenuates phototropism in high fluence rates (100 umol.m-2.s-1) but enhances phototropism in low fluence rates (<1.0 umol.m-2.s-1) (PubMed:12857830). The effect of near-null magnetic field on flowering is altered by changes of blue light cycle and intensity in a CRY1/CRY2-dependent manner (PubMed:26095447). Involved in the strigolactone signaling that regulates hypocotyl growth in response to blue light (PubMed:24126495). Confers resistance to turnip crinkle virus (TCV) by preventing COP1-mediated proteasome-mediated degradation of RPP8/HRT, thus promoting its stability in light. Exposure to darkness or blue-light induces degradation of CRY2, and in turn of RPP8/HRT, resulting in susceptibility to TCV. See Also Cryptochrome 3D structures
