Abstract excerpt
The phycobiliproteins contain a conserved unique modified residue, gamma-N-methylasparagine at beta-72. This study examines the consequences of this methylation for the structure and function of phycocyanin and of phycobilisomes. An assay for the protein asparagine methylase activity was developed using [methyl-3H]S-adenosylmethionine and apophycocyanin purified from Escherichia coli containing the genes for the...
