The isolated phot2 kinase domain (KD) displays constitutive kinase activity in vitro while this activity is light-regulated in a LOV2-KD construct. Interestingly adding the LOV2 domain to the KD enables light-regulated inhibition of kinase activity in trans.

This paper describes the identification of several in vivo phot1 phosphorylation sites. In addition this work suggests that the phosphorylation sites in the photosensory domain of phot1 are not essential for in vivo function of the photoreceptor.

Plant J 51 (2007) 862-873. This paper confirms that the kinase domain of phot2 is sufficient for membrane association of the photoreceptor (plasma membrane and Golgi). Moreover, it shows that the expression of kinase domain of phot2 leads to the constitutive activation of several phototropin responses.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105 (2008) 5626-5631. This paper convincingly shows that phot1 autophosphorylation is a necessary step for phot1 signaling. Six phosphorylation sites in the photosensory domain, one or two in the activation loop (S849 and S851) and one C-terminal of the kinase domain were identified. The S851A mutation essentially eliminates phot1 activity in vivo while simultaneous mutation of all other residues (S to A) does not lead to an obvious defect.

The subcellular localization and blue-light-induced movement of phototropin 1-GFP in etiolated seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana. Mol Plant 1 (2008) 103-117. A careful analysis of phot1-GFP tissular distribution is presented in this work. In response to blue light specifically a fraction of phot1 delocalizes from to plasma membrane where it is found in the dark to the cytoplasm.

This paper shows that phot2-GFP localizes to the plasma membrane in darkness. In response to blue light a fraction of phot2 relocalizes to the Golgi. This relocalization requires phot2 kinase activity. Moreover the kinase domain and not the photosensory domain is required for membrane association.

Using phot1phot2 mutants complemented with chimera between the photosensory and kinase domains of phot1 and phot2, the authors demonstrate the greater sensitivity of the photosensory domain of phot1. This was shown for phototropism and chloroplast relocalization. The chloroplast positioning in darkness specifically mediated by phot2 is controlled by its photosensory domain.

Nature 449 (2007) 356-360. This paper shows that GI and ZTL interact in the cytoplasm specifically upon blue light perception. This leads to stabilization of the ZTL protein at specific times of the day and thus contributes to high amplitude rhythms of TOC1 protein.

Targeted degradation of PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR5 by an SCFZTL complex regulates clock function and photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Plant Cell 19 (2007) 2516-2530. Along with Ref. [48], This paper shows that the SCFZTL E3 ligase targets both TOC1 and PRR5 for degradation but not the other members of the PRR family. In addition, these papers suggest that GI binding to ZTL limits its ability to interact with and lead to the degradation of target proteins.
