Cry1-associated proteins. Lysates from 293T cells expressing pcDNA3-2xFLAG with no insert (control) or Cry1 after the FLAG tag were used to purify control or Cry1-containing complexes by immunoprecipitation (IP) of the FLAG tag. Components of the resulting complexes were identified by mass spectrometry. The experiment was performed in triplicate and PatternLab for Proteomics (Carvalho et al.) was used to identify statistically enriched partners in Cry1-associated complexes compared to the control. Enrichment (Cry1/control) is the ratio of spectral counts in Cry1 vs control samples for all statistically enriched partners over three experiments.

Chromatin binding of circadian transcription factors to loci encoding DNA repair proteins. Published data (Koike et al., 2012, Table S2) was searched for the text string ‘repair’ to make a preliminary identification of chromatin regions near genes involved in DNA repair that were found to be associated with each of the seven circadian transcription factors Cry1, Cry2, Per1, Per2, Clock, Npas2, and Bmal1.
