Plant Cell 2002, 14:1541-1555. The paper demonstrates that light modulates nucleo/cytoplasmic compartmentalisation of PHYA-PHYE in a light-quality-dependent fashion and that the formation of PHYA-PHYE-containing sub-nuclear speckles exhibits a diurnal rhythm.

The authors identified a novel bZIP protein, designated HYH, as a new target of COP1. Moreover, they provide evidence that interaction of COP1 and HYH results in dark-specific degradation of HYH, and that HYH is predominantly involved in blue-light regulation of development.

The authors demonstrate that blue light induces phosphorylation of CRY2 in a PHYA-independent fashion and triggers its degradation. These results indicate that light-dependent kinases are involved in the blue-light dependent activation of CRY2.

The authors identified AtPP7, a Ser/Thr protein phosphatase as a positive regulator of cryptochrome signaling in plants. They demonstrate that AtPP7 acts as a nuclear-localised signaling component downstream from but in concert with cryptochrome in response to blue light irradiation.
