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

Federico Scaramuzza, Gabriele Andreatta, Audrey M. Mat…·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…·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…·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.
