Photoactivatable Rac1: a photosensor tilt by time-resolved crystallography and a partially open switch I when GDP-bound

The LOV2 domain of Avena sativa phototropin 1 is widely used to control proteins with light, but how its signal reaches a fused effector has not been visualized. We followed photoactivatable Rac1 by time-resolved serial crystallography at room temperature. Within 350 {micro}s, a fifth of the photosensors form the flavin-cysteine adduct and tilt as a rigid body on Rac1 about an axis through the…
