Summary of taxonomic distribution and known key functions for cryptochrome (CRY)/ PL protein families
| CRY-PL family . | Taxa . | Functions . |
|---|---|---|
| CPD-I | M, F, P, E, B, A | UV-light induced CPD DNA-damage repair |
| CPD-II (phr) | M, F, P, E, B, A | UV-light induced CPD DNA-damage repair |
| CPD-III | M, P, E, B, A | UV-light induced CPD DNA-damage repair |
| PCRY | P | Light-sensitive plant cryptochrome, involved with circadian clock regulation and various photomorphogenic roles |
| PCRY-like | M, P, E | Largely unknown |
| CRY-DASH | M, F, P, E, B, A | UV-light induced ssDNA-damage repair. Also has circadian clock functions; regarded as “intermediate” or “link” between DNA-damage repair PLs and cryptochromes |
| PPL | P, E | UV-light induced CPD DNA-damage repair |
| DCRY (CRY-I) | M | Light-sensitive animal cryptochrome. Photoreceptor activated by blue light, resets circadian clock. |
| CRY4 | M | Magnetoreception in migratory vertebrates |
| 6-4 PL | M, F, P, E, B, A | UV-light induced 6-4 DNA-damage repair |
| MCRY (CRY-II) | M | Light-insensitive animal cryptochrome, involved with circadian clock regulation. |
