Phytochromes perceive subtle changes in the light environment and convert them into biological signals by photoconversion between the red-light absorbing (Pr) and the far-red-absorbing (Pfr) states. In the primitive bacteriophytochromes this includes refolding of a tongue-like hairpin loop close to the chromophore, one strand of an antiparallel b-sheet being replaced by ?-helix. However, the strand sequence in the cyanobacterial phytochrome Cph1 is different from that of previously investigated...
Solution NMR structure of Se0862, a highly conserved cyanobacterial protein involved in biofilm formation
Solution NMR structure of Se0862, a highly conserved cyanobacterial protein involved in biofilm formation
Abstract
Biofilms are accumulations of microorganisms embedded in extracellular matrices that protect against external factors and stressful environments. Cyanobacterial biofilms are ubiquitous and have potential for treatment of wastewater and sustainable production of biofuels. But the underlying mechanisms regulating cyanobacterial biofilm formation are unclear. Here, we report the solution NMR structure of a protein, Se0862, conserved across diverse cyanobacterial species and...
