In the companion paper (10.1021/acs.biochem.8b01274), we examined the forward Pr photodynamics of NpR3784 (UniProtKB B2J457 ), a representative member of a noncanonical red/green (R/G) cyanobacteriochrome (CBCR) subfamily. Here the reverse Pg → Pr photodynamics of NpR3784 was studied by broadband transient absorption pump-probe spectroscopy. Primary (100 fs to 10 ns) and secondary (10 ns to 1 ms) photodynamics were characterized over nine decades of time, which also were complemented with temperature-jump cryokinetics measurements. In contrast with canonical R/G CBCRs, the NpR3784 reverse photoconversion yielded two spectrally distinct primary photoproducts, Lumi-Go and Lumi-Gr, which decay on different time scales. The two primary photoproducts of NpR3784 equilibrate on the 40 ns time scale and subsequently propagate as a single intermediate population into Pr. Such heterogeneity could arise from differences in the direction of D-ring rotation, in chromophore protonation or hydrogen bonding, or in the mobility of protein residues or of solvent water nearby the chromophore or some combination therein. We conclude that the atypical photodynamics of NpR3784 reflects chromophore-protein interactions that differ from those present in the canonical R/G CBCR family.
