Abstract excerpt
The second cyanobacterial phytochrome Cph2 from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was suggested as a part of a light-stimulated signal transduction chain inhibiting movement toward blue light. Cph2 has the two bilin binding sites, cysteine-129 and cysteine-1022, that might be involved in sensing of red/far-red and blue light, respectively. Here, we present data on wavelength dependence of the phototaxis inhibition under...
