Abstract: This invention is about the functionally hyperactive light signal related molecule, HFR1-?N105, of which the nucleic acids that encode N-terminal 105 amino acid residues were deleted. HFR1 as a bHLH transcription factor functions in a subset of phytochrome A signaling cascade and it was reported to be regulated negatively by COP1. Experiments with a HFR1-?N105 overexpressing plant revealed that the deletion of N-terminal amino acids makes the HFR1 more active in photomorphogenic development such as germination and de-etiolation. In addition, the transgenic plants showed hypersensitive photo-responses in the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, dependently on another positive element of light signaling, a bZIP protein, HY5. The end-of-day far-red light response and petiole elongation were suppressed in the HFR1-?N105 overexpressing plants. These results suggest that N-terminal region of HFR1 negatively regulate HFR1 function and that HFR1-?N105 is hyperactive.

Abstract: The present invention includes modified phytochrome A (PHYA) nucleic acid molecules in which DNA sequences coding for “active site” amino acid residues have been mutated to generate hyperactive phytochromes. In particular; a serine/threonine residue at the hinge between the N- and C-terminal domains as well as at the N-terminal serine/threonine cluster of phytochromes (e.g., serine-598 and serine-7 in oat phytochrome A) for (a) Pr/Pfr-dependent phosphorylation and (b) dephosphorylation by a phytochrome phosphatase (PP2A) was substituted with alanine. (c) In addition, amino acid residues within the phytochrome chromophore pocket are mutated to generate the bathchromic shift of the Pr-absorption band of both wild type and above-mentioned mutant phytochromes.
