Aureochrome 1 illuminated: structural changes of a transcription factor probed by molecular spectroscopy.

Aureochrome 1 illuminated: structural changes of a transcription factor probed by molecular spectroscopy.

Aureochrome 1 from Vaucheria frigida is a recently identified blue-light receptor that acts as a transcription factor. The protein comprises a photosensitive light-, oxygen- and voltage-sensitive (LOV) domain and a basic zipper (bZIP) domain that binds DNA rendering aureochrome 1 a prospective optog...
