Integrated Study of Fluorescence Enhancement in the Y176H Variant of Cyanobacterial Phytochrome Cph1
Nagano S, Song C, Rohr V, Mackintosh M, Hoang O, Kraskov A, et al.
Biochemistry
. 2025 Feb;
PMID: 40015976
Phytochromes are red-light-sensitive biliprotein photoreceptors that control a variety of physiological processes in plants, fungi, and bacteria. Lately, greater attention has been paid to these photoreceptors due to their potential...

. 2024 Feb;
80(Pt 3):59-66.
PMID: 38376821
Sorghum, a short-day tropical plant, has been adapted for temperate grain production, in particular through the selection of variants at the MATURITY loci (Ma1-Ma6) that reduce photoperiod sensitivity. Ma3 encodes...

Sci Rep
. 2022 Apr;
12(1):5587.
PMID: 35379835
Modern biology investigations on phytochromes as near-infrared fluorescent pigments pave the way for the development of new biosensors, as well as for optogenetics and in vivo imaging tools. Recently, near-infrared...

Functional comparison of the WD-repeat domains of SPA1 and COP1 in suppression of photomorphogenesis
Kerner K, Nagano S, Lubbe A, Hoecker U
Plant Cell Environ
. 2021 Jul;
44(10):3273-3282.
PMID: 34251043
The Arabidopsis COP1/SPA complex acts as a cullin4-based E3 ubiquitin ligase to suppress photomorphogenesis in darkness. It is a tetrameric complex of two COP1 and two SPA proteins. Both COP1...

Nat Plants
. 2020 May;
6(5):581-588.
PMID: 32366982
Plant phytochromes are red/far-red photochromic photoreceptors that act as master regulators of development, controlling the expression of thousands of genes. Here, we describe the crystal structures of four plant phytochrome...

Sadeghi M, Balke J, Schneider C, Nagano S, Stellmacher J, Lochnit G, et al.
Biochemistry
. 2020 Feb;
59(9):1051-1062.
PMID: 32069394
Phytochromes are biological red/far-red light sensors found in many organisms. Prototypical phytochromes, including Cph1 from the cyanobacterium 6803, act as photochemical switches that interconvert between stable red (Pr)- and metastable...

Kacprzak S, Njimona I, Renz A, Feng J, Reijerse E, Lubitz W, et al.
J Biol Chem
. 2017 Mar;
292(18):7598-7606.
PMID: 28289094
Bacterial phytochromes are dimeric light-regulated histidine kinases that convert red light into signaling events. Light absorption by the N-terminal photosensory core module (PCM) causes the proteins to switch between two...

J Biol Chem
. 2016 Jul;
291(39):20674-91.
PMID: 27466363
Agp1 is a canonical biliverdin-binding bacteriophytochrome from the soil bacterium Agrobacterium fabrum that acts as a light-regulated histidine kinase. Crystal structures of the photosensory core modules (PCMs) of homologous phytochromes...

. 2016 Jan;
129(2):123-35.
PMID: 26818948
Phytochromes represent a diverse family of red/far-red-light absorbing chromoproteins which are widespread across plants, cyanobacteria, non-photosynthetic bacteria, and more. Phytochromes play key roles in regulating physiological activities in response to...
