The CRY2 photoreceptor is known to form homotetramers that bind to transcription regulators to affect gene expression in response to light. A new study provides evidence that the CRY2 monomer binds different transcription regulators to affect gene expression in darkness, suggesting that photoreceptors change activity in response to light.
