The discovery of cyanobacterial phytochrome histidine kinases, together with the evidence that phytochromes from higher plants display protein kinase activity, bind ATP analogs, and possess C-terminal domains similar to bacterial histidine kinases, has fueled the controversial hypothesis that the eukaryotic phytochrome family of photoreceptors are light-regulated enzymes. Here we demonstrate that purified recombinant phytochromes from a higher plant and a green alga exhibit serine/threonine kina ...[more]
