The LOV domain: a chromophore module servicing multiple photoreceptorsWinslow R Briggs
Department of Plant Biology, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 260 Panama St, Stanford, CA 94305, USA
J Biomed Sci 14:499-504. 2007..Decay of the adduct in darkness after a blue light pulse coincides with loss of the capacity for phosphorylation upon addition of ATP. At present, the biological role(s) of these light-sensitive proteins is under investigation...
Intramolecular proton transfers and structural changes during the photocycle of the LOV2 domain of phototropin 1Stephanie B Corchnoy
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California, Santa Cruz 95064, USA
J Biol Chem 278:724-31. 2003..Decay kinetics for CD spectral changes in the far UV region occur at the same rate as those in the visible region, indicating synchronous relaxation of protein and chromophore structures...
Steric interactions stabilize the signaling state of the LOV2 domain of phototropin 1John M Christie
Plant Science Group, Division of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Institute of Biomedical and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow, University Avenue, Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Biochemistry 46:9310-9. 2007..Our findings therefore indicate that the steric nature of this amino acid side chain contributes to stabilization of the C-S cysteinyl adduct...
A wandering pathway in plant biology: from wildflowers to phototropins to bacterial virulenceWinslow R Briggs
Department of Plant Biology, Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford, California 94305, USA
Annu Rev Plant Biol 61:1-20. 2010..Coe State Park. Finally, he relates how he followed the unlikely pathway from plant blue-light receptors to a blue-light receptor required to maximize virulence of a bacterial animal pathogen...
Phototropin LOV domains exhibit distinct roles in regulating photoreceptor functionJohn M Christie
Department of Plant Biology, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Stanford, California 94305, USA
Plant J 32:205-19. 2002..Further photochemical and biochemical analyses also indicate that the LOV1 and LOV2 domains of phot2 exhibit distinct roles. The significance for the different roles of the phototropin LOV domains is discussed...
Physiological roles of the light, oxygen, or voltage domains of phototropin 1 and phototropin 2 in ArabidopsisHae Young Cho

Plant Cell 14:1723-35. 2002..Possible relationships between observed phot1 distribution and the various physiological responses activated by blue light are discussed...
The Arabidopsis rcn1-1 mutation impairs dephosphorylation of Phot2, resulting in enhanced blue light responsesTong Seung Tseng
Department of Plant Biology, Carnegie Institution for Science, Stanford, California 94305, USA
Plant Cell 22:392-402. 2010..While reduced PP2A activity enhanced the activity of phot2, it did not enhance either phot1 dephosphorylation or the activity of phot1 in mediating phototropism or stomatal opening...

Department of Cell Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037, USA
Nature 426:302-6. 2003..It is likely that the circadian control of FKF1 expression and the light regulation of FKF1 function coincide to control the daytime CO waveform precisely, which in turn is crucial for day-length discrimination by Arabidopsis...
Photochemical properties of the flavin mononucleotide-binding domains of the phototropins from Arabidopsis, rice, and Chlamydomonas reinhardtiiMasahiro Kasahara
National Institute for Basic Biology, Okazaki 444-8585, Japan
Plant Physiol 129:762-73. 2002..The LOV domains of C. reinhardtii phot also undergo light-activated spectral changes consistent with cysteinyl adduct formation. Thus, the phototropin family extends over a wide evolutionary range from unicellular algae to higher plants...
