Abstract excerpt
In cyanobacteria, transcription of genes encoding subunits of PSI is tightly repressed under high-light conditions. To elucidate the molecular mechanism, we examined the promoter architecture of the psaAB genes encoding reaction center subunits of PSI in a cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Primer extension analysis showed the existence of two promoters, P1 and P2, both of which are responsible for the...
