Abstract excerpt

A gene that may encode a novel light sensing histidine protein kinase, designated plpA (phytochrome-like protein), was isolated from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The 200 COOH-terminal amino acids of the gene product show homology with conserved domains of several bacterial histi...
