Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a protein fusion construct comprising a far-red cyanobacteriochrome (CBCR) domain linked to a heterologous domain, wherein the far-red CBCR domain comprises a CBCR polypeptide and a tetrapyrrole chromophore. The invention also provides nucleic acids, expression cassettes, vectors, and host cells for expression of the far-red CBCR protein fusion constructs. Methods for detecting cellular components, methods for imaging biological structures, and method for modulating cellular processes using the protein fusion constructs are also provided.
