PubMed Abstract: Certain cyanobacteria alter their photosynthetic light absorption between green and red, a phenomenon called complementary chromatic acclimation. The acclimation is regulated by a cyanobacteriochrome-class photosensor that reversibly photoconverts between green-absorbing (Pg) and red-absorbing (Pr) states. Here, we elucidated the structural basis of the green/red photocycle. In the Pg state, the bilin chromophore adopted the extended C15-, structure within a hydrophobic pocket. Upon photoconversion to the Pr state, the bilin is isomerized to the cyclic C15-, structure, forming a water channel in the pocket. The solvation/desolvation of the bilin causes changes in the protonation state and the stability of π-conjugation at the B ring, leading to a large absorption shift. These results advance our understanding of the enormous spectral diversity of the phytochrome superfamily.
