Bacteriophytochromes constitute a light-sensing subgroup of sensory kin-ases with a chromophore-binding motif in the N-terminal half and a C-ter-minally located histidine kinase activity. The cyanobacteriumFremyella diplosiphon(also designated Calothrixsp.) expresses two sequentially very similar bacteriophytochromes, cyanobacterial phytochrome A (CphA) and cyanobacterial phytochrome B (CphB). | ễFEBS Journal Homologous expression of a bacterial phytochrome The cyanobacterium Fremyella diplosiphon incorporates biliverdin as a genuine functional chromophore Benjamin Quest1 z Thomas Hubschmann2 Shivani Sharda1 Nicole Tandeau de Marsac3 and Wolfgang Gartner1 1 Max-Planck-Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry Mulheim Germany 2 Institute for Biology Humboldt-University Berlin Germany 3 Unite des Cyanobacteries Departement de Microbiologie Institut Pasteur URA-CNRS 2172 Paris France Keywords bacteriophytochrome biliverdin IXa photoreceptor phycocyanobilin two-component signal transduction Correspondence W.

The cyanobacterium Fremyella diplosiphon also designated Calothrix sp. expresses two sequentially very similar bacteriophytochromes cyanobacterial phytochrome A CphA and cyanobacterial phytochrome B CphB . Cyanobacterial phytochrome A has the canonical cysteine residue by which covalent chromophore attachment is accomplished in the same manner as in plant phytochromes however its paralog cyanobacterial phytochrome B carries a leucine residue at that position. On the basis of in vitro experiments that showed for both cyanobacterial phytochrome A and cyanobacterial phytochrome B light-induced autophosphorylation and phosphate transfer to their cognate response regulator proteins RcpA and RcpB Hubschmann T Jorissen HJMM Borner T Gartner W deMarsac Nt 2001 Eur J Biochem 268 3383-3389 we aimed at the .
