Chromophores of allophycocyanin and R-phycocyanin.
The biliprotein allophycocyanin was purified from Phormidium luridum, Anabaena variabilis and Plectonema boryanum. R-phycocyanin was purified from Rhodymenia palmata. The chromophores were cleaved from the denatured protein by methanol hydrolysis. They were purified and crystallized as the dimethyl esters. Chromatographic and absorption-spectral (visible-ultraviolet and infrared) comparisons wi...
متن کاملCyanobacterial phycobilisomes: Selective dissociation monitored by fluorescence and circular dichroism.
Phycobilisomes are supramolecular assemblies of phycobiliproteins responsible for photosynthetic light collection in red algae and cyanobacteria. They can be selectively dissociated by reduction of temperature and buffer concentration. Phycobilisomes isolated from Fremyella diplosiphon transfer energy collected by C-phycoerythrin and C-phycocyanin to allophycocyanin. The energy transfer to allo...
متن کاملLight-Harvesting System of the Red Alga Gracilaria tikvahiae: II. Phycobilisome Characteristics of Pigment Mutants.
Phycobilisomes were isolated from wild type Gracilaria tikvahiae and a number of its genetically characterized Mendelian and non-Mendelian pigment mutants in which the principal lesions result in an increase or decrease in the accumulation of phycoerythrin. Both the size and phycoerythrin content of the phycobilisomes are proportional to the phycoerythrin content of the crude algal extracts. In...
متن کاملCrystal structure of R-phycocyanin and possible energy transfer pathways in the phycobilisome.
The crystal structure of R-phycocyanin from Polysiphonia urceolata (R-PC-PU) at 2.4 A is reported. The R-PC-PU crystal belongs to space group P4(3)2(1)2 with cell parameters a = 135.1 A, c = 210.0 A, and alpha = beta = gamma = 90 degrees. The structure was determined by molecular replacement. The crystallographic R-factor of the refined model is 0.189 (R(free) = 0.239). Comparison of the microe...
متن کاملTwo novel phycoerythrin-associated linker proteins in the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain WH8102.
The recent availability of the whole genome of Synechococcus sp. strain WH8102 allows us to have a global view of the complex structure of the phycobilisomes of this marine picocyanobacterium. Genomic analyses revealed several new characteristics of these phycobilisomes, consisting of an allophycocyanin core and rods made of one type of phycocyanin and two types of phycoerythrins (I and II). Al...
