Conformational heterogeneity of the Pfr chromophore in plant and cyanobacterial phytochromes

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2015
Phytochromes are biological photoreceptors that can be reversibly photoconverted between a dark and photoactivated state. The underlying reaction sequences are initiated by the photoisomerisation of the tetrapyrrole cofactor, which in plant and ...

Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Arabidopsis thaliana Phytochrome A in Its Pr State Reveals Head-to-Head Homodimeric Architecture

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Phytochrome photoreceptors regulate vital adaptations of plant development, growth, and physiology depending on the ratio of red and far-red light.

Phytochrome A Mediates the Disassembly of Processing Bodies in Far-Red Light

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Phytochromes are red- and far-red light receptors that control the growth and development of plants, enabling them to respond adequately to changing light conditions. It has been shown that halted mRNAs stored in RNA granules called processing bodies are

Phytochrome Control of Another Phytochrome-mediated Process [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1972
The phytochrome-mediated attachment of root tips of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) to glass is affected by the prior exposure of hydrated seeds or seedlings to red or far red radiation. Prior irradiation of seeds or seedlings of mung bean with red light promotes attachment, while far red light promotes detachment of root tips.

Application of Multi-Omics Technologies to the Study of Phytochromes in Plants

open access: yesAntioxidants
Phytochromes (phy) are distributed in various plant organs, and their physiological effects influence plant germination, flowering, fruiting, and senescence, as well as regulate morphogenesis throughout the plant life cycle. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

Deficiency in phytochromobilin biosynthesis enhances heat-stress-induced impairments to the photosynthetic apparatus in tomato

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2019
Plants are continuously exposed to unfavorable environmental conditions, such as heat stress, which negatively affect plant growth and productivity. There is evidence that phytochromes are involved in plant response to different abiotic stresses.

Refinement of amino‐acid conformation vs. difference density maps in time‐resolved serial femtosecond crystallography data analysis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dFoCC pipeline starts with observed DED and resting‐state coordinates, which are then used to generate a library of triggered states. Correlation analysis of the calculated DED features of each candidate vs observed DED permits quantitative evaluation of candidate structural quality.

Studies on phytochrome. Some properties of electrophoretically pure phytochrome [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1970
1. Phytochrome was purified from etiolated oat (Avena sativa) seedlings either by gel-filtration chromatography and ion-exchange chromatography or by gel-filtration chromatography and calcium phosphate chromatography. Differences were observed in the spectral properties of phytochrome isolated by the two methods. 2.

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.
