Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Component. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

SPI1085g3 is a red/green cyanobacteriochrome GAF domain from Spirulina subsalsa. It photoconverts from a red-absorbing dark Pr state to an orange-absorbing Po state, and the Pr state exhibits intense red fluorescence that is lost upon photoconversion and recovers through moderate dark reversion.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

SPI1085g3 is useful as a light-responsive protein domain that couples spectral state switching to red fluorescence output. This combination supports applications requiring optical readout of protein state and reversible control by light and dark recovery, although the supplied evidence does not directly validate a specific downstream use case.

This novel red/dark-switchable fluorescent biliprotein expands the present repertoire and diversity of photoswitchable fluorescent protein candidates.

Problem solved

SPI1085g3 addresses the need for a photoswitchable fluorescent cyanobacteriochrome domain with reversible interconversion between a fluorescent Pr state and a nonfluorescent or less fluorescent Po state. The evidence supports state switching and dark recovery, but does not provide direct data on recombination control despite that listed target process.

Mechanism Branch

Component: A low-level protein part used inside a larger architecture that realizes a mechanism.

Target processes

recombination

Input: Light

Implementation Constraints

SPI1085g3 is described as a cyanobacteriochrome GAF domain from Spirulina subsalsa, so implementation would involve expression of this protein domain rather than a full-length photoreceptor. The supplied evidence does not specify construct architecture, chromophore/cofactor usage, host system, illumination parameters, or delivery strategy.

The evidence is limited to a single 2018 study and a small set of photophysical claims. No quantitative wavelengths, chromophore requirements, kinetics, dynamic range, cellular validation, or direct demonstration in recombination assays are provided in the supplied evidence.
