CIRCADIAN CLOCK MIMICS. “Insect behaviour is controlled in a 24-h cycle by the circadian system, allowing the organism to respond to rhythmic environmental changes, related to for example light, temperature and food availability. Biernat et al. (2012) showed that a DNA repair protein (PHR2) encoded by the baculovirus Chrysodeixis chalcites nucleopolyhedrovirus can mimic the function of mammalian cryptochromes, essential regulators of the circadian clock.”
