Abstract: The red/far-red light receptor phytochrome B (phyB) plays essential roles in regulating various plant development processes. PhyB exists in two distinct photoreversible forms: the inactive Pr form ...The red/far-red light receptor phytochrome B (phyB) plays essential roles in regulating various plant development processes. PhyB exists in two distinct photoreversible forms: the inactive Pr form and the active Pfr form. phyB-Pfr binds phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) to transduce red light signals. Here, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the photoactivated phyB-Pfr‒PIF6 complex, the constitutively active mutant phyB‒PIF6 complex, and the truncated phyBN‒PIF6 complex. In these structures, two parallel phyB-Pfr molecules interact with one PIF6 molecule. Red light-triggered rotation of the PΦB D-ring leads to the conversion of hairpin loops into α helices and the "head-to-head" reassembly of phyB-Pfr N-terminal photosensory modules. The interaction between phyB-Pfr and PIF6 influences the dimerization and transcriptional activation activity of PIF6, and PIF6 stabilizes the N-terminal extension of phyB-Pfr and increases the Pr→Pfr photoconversion efficiency of phyB. Our findings reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying Pr→Pfr photoconversion and PIF6-mediated red light signal transduction of phyB.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
