Abstract excerpt
A cDNA with sequence similarity to isocitrate lyase (ICL) genes was isolated from the unicellular eukaryotic green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a light-induced mRNA in the carotenoid biosynthetic mutant strain FN68. The 416 amino acid open reading frame shows significant sequence similarity to isocitrate lyases of bacteria (70%), molds (48%), yeasts (45%), and plants (47%). Expression of the Chlamydomonas...
