A toggle model is for phytochrome interconversion

The structure of the b-hairpin region of Pr is changed to an a helix during the conversion of Pr to Pfr, which initiates other conformational changes in the protein.

The PRD domain of phyB serve as an NLS. 

Conversion of Pr to Pfr by red light expose the functional NLS of the PRD domain of phyB, facilitating phyB’s import into the nucleus.

PRD domain of phyA cannot act as an NLS, so to transport it into the nucleus requires FARRED ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL1 (FHY1) and its homolog FHY1-LIKE (FHL),
