A circalunar oscillator and moonlight tune the circadian clock to moon phase via cwo/Dec1

Federico Scaramuzza, Gabriele Andreatta, Audrey M. Mat, Anita Navid, Birgit Poehn, Martin Zurl, Lukas Orel, Pedro Ozório Brum, Hanspeter Herzel, Kristin Tessmar‐Raible

This study identifies cwo/Dec1 as a molecular mechanism linking the circadian clock to lunar phase in Platynereis dumerilii, showing its role in circalunar oscillation.

A Cryptochrome adopts distinct moon- and sunlight states and functions as moonlight interpreter in monthly oscillator entrainment

Birgit Poehn, Shruthi Krishnan, Martin Zurl, Aida Ćorić, Dunja Rokvić, N. Sören Häfker, Elmar Jaenicke, Enrique Arboleda, Lukas Orel, Florian Raible, Eva Wolf, Kristin Tessmar‐Raible

This paper identifies L-Cryptochrome as a moonlight interpreter that distinguishes between sun- and moonlight to regulate monthly oscillator entrainment in Platynereis dumerilii.

Two light sensors decode moonlight versus sunlight to adjust a plastic circadian/circalunidian clock to moon phase

Martin Zurl, Birgit Poehn, Dirk Rieger, Shruthi Krishnan, Dunja Rokvić, Vinoth Babu Veedin Rajan, Elliot J. Gerrard, Matthias Schlichting, Lukas Orel, Aida Ćorić, Robert James Lucas, Eva Wolf, Charlotte Helfrich‐Förster, Florian Raible, Kristin Tessmar‐Raible

The paper identifies two light sensors in Platynereis dumerilii that distinguish moonlight from sunlight to adjust a circadian clock to moon phase.
