14. Sensory rhodopsin I produces an attractant signal in response to orange-light-induced trans-to-cis isomerization, and its photocycle contains a transient 13-cis blue-shifted photointermediate. This intermediate's cis-to-trans photoreaction from near-ultraviolet (UV) light generates a repellent signal (25). Sensory rhodopsin I therefore detects the presence of near-UV light in an orange-light background over the few seconds' duration of its photocycle. Anabaena sensory rhodopsin, in contrast, exhibits two distinct dark groundstate spectral species, each of which is stable for several orders of magnitude longer than their flash-induced photocycles (26).
15. Phytochromes exhibit red-absorbing and far-red-absorbing forms that control a variety of phenomena in plants, such as flowering and circadian rhythms. As described for Anabaena sensory rhodopsin here, the two forms of phytochrome are each stable in the dark over long periods and are rapidly photointerconverted, properties that provide color-sensitive physiological responses (76, 77, 27).
