Abstract excerpt
Five plastocyanin-deficient mutants were identified from a population of UV-mutagenized Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells. Genetic complementation experiments indicated that four mutants represented alleles at the PCY1 locus (pcy1-2, pcy1-3, pcy1-4, and pcy1-5). Sequence analysis confirmed that two strains, pcy1-2 and pcy1-3, carry a frameshift (-1) and a nonsense mutation, respectively, while strains pcy1-4 and...
