Biliverdin Binds Covalently to Agrobacterium Phytochrome Agp1 via Its Ring A Vinyl Side Chain

Abstract: The widely distributed phytochrome photoreceptors carry a bilin chromophore, which is covalently attached to the protein during a lyase reaction. In plant phytochromes, the natural chromophore is coupled by a thioether bond between its ring A ethylidene side chain and a conserved cysteine residue within the so-called GAF domain of the protein. Many bacterial phytochromes carry biliverdin as natural chromophore, which is coupled in a different manner to the protein. In phytochrome Agp1 of Agrobacterium tumefaci… Show more

“…BV) was then associated with BphP, indicating that BV was removed from BphO and was attached to BphP. This attachment was identified to be covalent by zinc blotting (40) (data not shown) and is in agreement with other known bacterial phytochromes that form a covalent complex with BV (11,41). Experiments to identify real physical interaction between BphO and BphP using the GPC method after Hummel and Dreyer (42) with BphO⅐BV in the mobile phase did not reveal a stable complex of both proteins (data not shown).…”

“…From reports by other groups it is known that an A-ring endo vinyl-group of the BV is necessary for binding to BphP (41). Therefore, only the BV IX␦ isomer should yield a photoactive holo-BphP.…”

“…Addition of SDS to the biliverdin/ GST-PKC␦ sample followed by size-exclusion separation of GST-PKC␦ from low molecular weight components yielded a spectrum identical to that of SDS-treated GST-PKC␦, including the shifted ultraviolet absorbance peak, indicating that the inhibitor is removed by simple physical dissociation and is therefore not a consequence of covalent association of biliverdin with the PKC. This is in contrast to the observation of covalent binding of biliverdin to phytochrome proteins in Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Agrobacterium tumefaciens (44,47).…”

“…Test of Covalent Binding of Biliverdin to PKC␦-Association between PKC␦ and biliverdin was examined essentially as described by Lamparter et al (44). Biliverdin was dissolved in 0.1 M NaOH and diluted to 2 M in PBS, pH 7.4; a 500-l sample was used to measure the absorption spectrum between 260 and 760 nm.…”

“…Heme oxygenases convert heme to biliverdin IXa (BV), which is the direct precursor of the chromophores of bacteriophytochromes (Bhoo et al, 2001;Giraud et al, 2002Giraud et al, , 2005Lamparter et al, 2003Lamparter et al, , 2004Tasler et al, 2005) and probably also those of fungal phytochromes (Blumenstein et al, 2005;Froehlich et al, 2005). In cyanobacteria and algae, BV is converted to phycocyanobilin (PCB) via a four-electron reduction mediated by ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductases of the PcyA subfamily ).…”
