Abstract

Luminous organisms use different protein-mediated strategies to modulate light emission color. Here, we report the transient-state kinetic studies of the interaction between photoprotein clytin from Clytia gregaria and its antenna protein, cgreGFP. We propose that cgreGFP forms a transient complex with Ca2+-bound clytin before the excited singlet state of the coelenteramide product is formed. From the spectral distribution and donor-acceptor separation distance, we infer that clytin reaction intermediates may interact only with the middle side part of cgreGFP.
