Structural snapshot of a bacterial phytochrome in its functional intermediate state

Structural snapshot of a bacterial phytochrome in its functional intermediate state

Phytochromes are photoreceptors that are present in plants, bacteria and fungi. Here the authors present crystal structures of the phytochrome Agp2 from Agrobacterium fabrum in the parent Pfr state as well as a functional Meta-F intermediate and discuss mechanistic implications for photoconversion.
