Description
The Deinococcus radiodurans bacteriophytochrome binds to biliverdin, a chromophore. Biliverdin is produced in the heme metabolic pathway catalysed by heme oxygenase. Once bound to the chromophore the complex can absorb red and far red light causing the complex to change colour from blue to green reversibly. This part also has a ribosome binding site (AGGAGG) located 6 base pairs upstream from the ATG start codon.
Notes
Contains an EcoR1 site that was changed by Site directed mutagenesis using a silent mutation.
