Research Abstract

In this study, I performed comprehensive analysis of novel photoreceptor superfamily, cyanobacteriochrome that is distinctive relative of the plant red/far-red photoreceptor, phytochrome. Cyanobacteriochromes have diverse spectral properties. Among these, structural and various spectral analyses such as time-resolved and FTIR measurements of AnPixJ were performed. Further, other various cyanobacteriochromes are comprehensively analyzed. As a result, I could provide valuable insights into the photoperception mechanism of linear tetrapyrrole-binding photoreceptors including phytochrome.
