Popis: The light oxygen voltage (LOV) domain is a flavin-binding blue-light receptor domain, originally found in a plant photoreceptor phototropin (phot). Recently, LOV domains have been used in optogenetics as the photosensory domain of fusion proteins. Therefore, it is important to understand how LOV domains exhibit light-induced structural changes for the kinase domain regulation, which enables the design of LOV-containing optogenetics tools with higher photoactivation efficiency. In this study, the hydrogen bonding environment of the N3–H group of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) of the LOV2 domain from Adiantum neochrome (neo) 1 was investigated by low-temperature Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Using specifically 15N-labeled FMN, [1,3-15N2]FMN, the N3–H stretch was identified at 2831 cm–1 for the unphotolyzed state at 150 K, indicating that the N3–H group forms a fairly strong hydrogen bond. The N3–H stretch showed temperature dependence, with a shift to lower frequencies at ≤200 K and to higher freque...
