Cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) are cyanobacterial photosensory proteins with a tetrapyrrole (bilin) chromophore that belong to the phytochrome superfamily. Like phytochromes, CBCRs photoconvert between two photostates with distinct spectral properties. NpR6012g4 from Nostoc punctiforme is a model system for widespread CBCRs with conserved red/green photocycles. Atomic-level structural information for the photoproduct state in this subfamily is not known. Here, we report NMR backbone chemical shift assignments of the light-activated state of NpR6012g4 (BMRB no. 26577) as a first step toward determining its atomic resolution structure.
蓝细菌色素(CBCRs)是蓝细菌中的光感受蛋白,带有属于植物色素超家族的四吡咯(胆色素)发色团。与植物色素一样,CBCRs在具有不同光谱特性的两种光状态之间进行光转换。来自点状念珠藻的NpR6012g4是具有保守红/绿光循环的广泛存在的CBCRs的模型系统。该亚家族中光产物状态的原子水平结构信息尚不清楚。在这里,我们报告了NpR6012g4光激活状态的核磁共振主链化学位移归属(生物磁共振银行编号26577),作为确定其原子分辨率结构的第一步。
