PixD is a ~17 kDa protein that has the blue-light-using-flavin (BLUF) domain. The BLUF domain binds a flavin as a chromophore, and it induces structural changes when it is excited by blue light.
 +
PixD and PixE can associate in the dark into large multi-subunit complexes that dissociate into dimers of PixD and monomers of PixE within seconds upon blue light stimulation. Upon a shift back to darkness, PixD cycles back to its binding-competent state within seconds to re-form complexes.

In our project, this part was used to build light-inducible targeting module for the Trim21, in order to make target protein degradation mediated by PixE/PixD interaction in blue light/dark.
