Abstract excerpt
The sensor proteins for blue light using the FAD (BLUF) domain belong to the third family of the photoreceptor proteins using a flavin chromophore, where the other two families are phototropins and cryptochromes. As the first structure of this BLUF domain, we have determined the crystal structure of the Tll0078 protein from Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, which contains a BLUF domain bound to FAD, at 2A...
