Photoactivated phytochrome A regulates luciferase reporter in yeast

Claim that red light converts phytochrome A into photoactivated Pfr form, which binds FHY1/FHL fusion to induce transcription of luciferase gene in yeast; far-red light reverses this activation.

Evidence

“Experiments and model show that introducing an intermediate state during Pfr_FHL photoconversion is essential to capture slow switching-off of luciferase expression in response to light change.”
