Phytochrome B from A. thaliana (aa 1-908)

This part consists in the first 908 amino-acids of Phytochrome B of A. thaliana. When bound to its natural chromophore Phycocyanobiline (PCB) it can reach its Pfr activated state and physically interact with different PIF.

Background:

Phytochromes characterised by a red/far-red photochromicity. Through red-light (650–670 nm) absorption the phytochrome undergoes a rapid conformational change from its ground state Pr to its active state Pfr. The structural change allows the binding of the PIF. This light-sensitive interaction has been mapped to the 650-residue amino-terminal photosensory core of PhyB (Khanna et al., 2004). The process is completely reversible through absorption in the near infra-red spectrum (705–740 nm).

The photoreceptor protein PhyB serves for the light-dependent activation of the system, therefore it will be fused to the N-teminal of the ClpX-trimer.

Conception:

In in-vivo applications it has been shown that the PIF-interaction with the PhyB photosensory core (residues 1–650) is irreversible in infrared light. Lim & Voigt (2009) demonstrated by assaying PIF6 (which has the strongest interactions of all previously reported PIF domains) against different variants of PhyB that the tandem C-terminal PAS domains (residues 1-908)of plant phytochromes are necessary to confer rapid photoreversibility under infrared light. The original sequence contains a SpeI restriction within the first 908 residues.
