Abstract excerpt
The structure and expression of the cpc operon encoding phycocyanin subunits and linker polypeptides in a phycocyanin-deficient mutant (PD-1) and the wild-type of Synechocystis PCC 6714 were analyzed. The results of sequence and Northern blot analyses of the wild type indicate that the cpc operon consists of cpcB, cpcA, cpcC1, cpcC2 and cpcD, in that order. The levels of the transcripts in PD-1 were one-tenth to...
