Comparison of the Forward and Reverse Photocycle Dynamics of Two Highly Similar Canonical Red/Green Cyanobacteriochromes Reveals Unexpected Differences

Julia S. Kirpich et al.

Summary: This study compares the photodynamics of two closely related red/green CBCRs, showing that they have comparable quantum yields for initiating reactions and unique features in their reverse dynamics. The research supports the conclusion that sequence similarity is useful for predicting pathways of light-induced evolution and quantum yield generation within subfamilies of CBCRs.

Real-time observation of tetrapyrrole binding to an engineered bacterial phytochrome

Yusaku Hontani et al.

Summary: By using time-resolved stimulated Raman spectroscopy and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations, the authors analyzed the real-time binding process of biliverdin to miRFP proteins. This study revealed the steps of isomerization, localization, and protonation of biliverdin within minutes, providing insights for the rational design of near-infrared fluorescent proteins.

An Engineered Biliverdin-Compatible Cyanobacteriochrome Enables a Unique Ultrafast Reversible Photoswitching Pathway

Sean R. Tachibana et al.

Summary: CBCRs are promising optogenetic tools with diverse absorption properties. By engineering AnPixJg2_BV4 with only four mutations, researchers have uncovered the reversible photoswitching dynamics and structural motions responsible for the photoconversion with PCB and BV cofactors. The engineered Bbv exhibits a reversible clockwise/counterclockwise photoswitching that requires a two-step twist on similar time scales.

Ultrafast proton release reaction and primary photochemistry of phycocyanobilin in solution observed with fs-time-resolved mid-IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy

Maximilian Theiss et al.

Summary: The deactivation processes of photoexcited phycocyanobilin (PCB) in methanol were studied using UV/Vis and mid-IR femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, supported by density-functional theory calculations. Significant insights into the molecular structures and dynamics were gained, allowing a better understanding of the chromophore protonation/deprotonation processes associated with electronic and structural dynamics. The PCB photocycle is proposed to be closed by a long living, fluorescent species resembling the PCBC conformer.
