Plant growth and development are coordinately orchestrated by environmental cues and phytohormones. Light acts as a key environmental factor for fundamental plant growth and physiology through photosensory phytochromes and underlying molecular mechanisms. Although phytochromes are known to possess s

The LitR/CarH family of proteins is a light-sensitive MerR family of transcriptional regulators that contain an adenosyl B12 (coenzyme B12 or AdoB12)-binding domain at the C terminus. The genes encoding these proteins are found in phylogenetically diverse bacterial genera; however, the biochemical p

RpBphP2 and RpBphP3, two tandem bacteriophytochromes from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris, share high sequence identity but exhibit distinct photoconversion behavior. Unlike the canonical RpBphP2, RpBphP3 photoconverts to an unusual near-red-absorbing (Pnr) state; both are re
