Phytochromes are photochromic biliproteins found in plants as well as in some cyanotrophic, photoautotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria. In many bacteria, their function is largely unknown. Here we describe the biochemi-cal and spectroscopic characterization of recombinant bacterial phyto-chrome from the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PaBphP). The recombinant protein displays all the characteristic features of a bonafide phytochrome. | ềFEBS Journal Biochemical and spectroscopic characterization of the bacterial phytochrome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Ronja Tasler Tina Moises and Nicole Frankenberg-Dinkel Institute for Microbiology TechnicalUniversity Braunschweig Germany Keywords biliverdin histidine kinase linear tetrapyrrole photoreceptor two-component system Correspondence N.

In many bacteria their function is largely unknown. Here we describe the biochemical and spectroscopic characterization of recombinant bacterial phytochrome from the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PaBphP . The recombinant protein displays all the characteristic features of a bonafide phytochrome. In contrast with cyanobacteria and plants the chromophore of this bacterial phytochrome is biliverdin IXa which is produced by the heme oxygenase BphO in P. aeruginosa. This chromophore was shown to be covalently attached via its A-ring endo-vinyl group to a cysteine residue outside the defined bilin lyase domain of plant and cyano-bacterial phytochromes. Site-directed mutagenesis identified Cys12 and His247 as being important for chromophore binding and photoreversibility respectively. PaBphP is synthesized in the dark in the red-light-absorbing Pr form and immediately converted into a far-red-light-absorbing Pfr-enriched form. It shows the characteristic red far-red-light-induced photoreversibility of phytochromes. A chromophore analog that lacks the C15 16 double bond was used to show that this photoreversibility is due to a 15Z 15E isomerization of the biliverdin chromophore. .
