The UVR8 photocycle and UV acclimation in Chlamydomonas. Left: UV-B causes the UVR8 homodimer to dissociate into monomers, which can interact with COP1 to effect changes in gene expression. Right: Acclimation allows Chlamydomonas cells to survive damage by UV-B; acclimation fails in the COP1 mutant hit1. (Reprinted from Tilbrook et al. [2016]; Figures 2C and 7A.)
