Agrobacterium fabrum is a widely used model bacterium for gene transfer from pro- to eukaryote, for genetics and metabolism. The phytochrome system of Agrobacterium, encompassing the two phytochromes Agp1 and Agp2, has provided deep insight into phytochrome action in a bacterial organism. This review summarizes recent results on phytochrome evolution, phytochrome regulation of conjugation and plant infection and biochemical studies including the crystal structure of Agp1-PCM, the photosensory core module of Agp1.
黄单胞菌是一种广泛用于原核生物到真核生物的基因转移、遗传学和代谢的模式细菌。黄单胞菌的光敏色素系统,包括两个光敏色素 Agp1 和 Agp2,为细菌中光敏色素的作用提供了深刻的认识。这篇综述总结了最近关于光敏色素进化、光敏色素对共轭和植物感染的调节以及包括 Agp1-PCM 晶体结构在内的生物化学研究的结果,Agp1-PCM 是 Agp1 的感光核心模块。
