Cryptochrome 1 regulates the circadian clock through dynamic interactions with the BMAL1 C terminus

Abstract

The mammalian circadian cycle is determined by sequential activation of clock target-gene expression by CLOCK–BMAL and subsequent repression by CRY. Biochemical and NMR data now show that Cry1 competes with coactivators for binding to the BMAL1 transcriptional-activation domain to regulate circadian cycling.
