Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Functions of phycobiliprotein (PBP) linkers are less well studied than other PBP polypeptides that are structural components or required for the synthesis of the light-harvesting phycobilisome (PBS) complexes. Linkers serve both structural and functional roles in PBSs. Here, we report the isolation of a phycoerythrin (PE) rod-linker mutant and a novel PE-deficient mutant in Fremyella diplosiphon. We describe their phenotypic characterization, including light-dependent photosynthetic pigment accumulation and photoregulation of cellular morphology. PE-linker protein CpeE and a novel protein impact PE accumulation, and thus PBS function, primarily under green light conditions.
