Photoadduct Formation from the FMN Singlet Excited State in the LOV2 Domain of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Phototropin.
JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS(2016)
摘要
The two light, oxygen, and voltage domains of phototropin are blue-light photoreceptor domains that control various functions in plants and green algae. The key step of the light-driven reaction is the formation of a photoadduct between its FMN chromophore and a conserved cysteine, where the canonical reaction proceeds through the FMN triplet state. Here, complete photoreaction mapping of CrLOV2 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii phototropin and AsLOV2 from Avena sativa phototropin-1 was realized by ultrafast broadband spectroscopy from femtoseconds to microseconds. We demonstrate that in CrLOV2, a direct photoadduct formation channel originates from the initially excited singlet state, in addition to the canonical reaction through the triplet state. This direct photoadduct reaction is coupled by a proton or hydrogen transfer process, as indicated by a significant kinetic isotope effect of 1.4 on the fluorescence lifetime. Kinetic model analyses showed that 38% of the photoadducts are generated from the singlet excited state.
