چکیده
We report the nucleotide sequence of gene nadA and its location on cyanelle (= plastid) DNA of the unicellular alga Cyanophora paradoxa. The gene is located on the circular (-128 kbp) (2) cyanelle chromosome. It is flanked by gene apcD (7), and it is close to a recently identified SI0-spc nbosomal protein gene cluster (8), the expression of which we study. The sequence, 1305 nucleotides in length, contains

Ribonuclease-P RNA gene of the plastid chromosome from Cyanophora paradoxa.
The gene, rnpB, encoding the RNA portion of ribonuclease-P has been found in the cyanelle DNA of Cyanophora paradoxa. A secondary structure model for the cyanelle RNA fits into that for eubacterial Rapb-RNAs.
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a gene for a major light-harvesting polypeptide from Cyanophora paradoxa.
Antibodies raised against mixtures of phycobilisome polypeptides from the eukaryotic alga Cyanidium caldarium were used in an immunological screen to detect expression of phycobiliprotein genes in an Escherichia coli library containing segments of plastid (chloroplast, cyanelle) DNA from another eukaryotic alga, Cyanophora paradoxa. The four candidate clones obtained were mapped by restriction ...
متن کاملCyanophora paradoxa: Fatty Acids and Fatty Acid Synthesis in vitro
Cyanophora paradoxa, Cyanelles, Fatty Acid Pattern, Fatty Acid Synthesis in vitro The fatty acid pattern of Cyanophora paradoxa membrane lipids is highly unusual with 16:0, 20:3 and 20:4 as the main acids. The 20:4 acid is preferentially distributed among the cyanelle lipids. In isolated cyanelles a relatively low in vitro synthesis of only saturated and monounsatu rated fatty acids from [l-14...
متن کاملThe central body of the cyanelles of Cyanophora paradoxa: a eukaryotic carboxysome?1
The cyanelles of the glaucocystophyte Cyanophora paradoxa combine two prokaryotic features not found in other phototrophic eukaryotes: a peptidoglycan wall and a putative carboxysome. Both of them would be indispensable when a inorganic carbon concentrating mechanism involving high accumulation of bicarbonate in the cyanelle stroma is assumed. Two approaches were used. (i) An expressed sequence...
متن کاملUltrastructural Studies on the Blue-green Algal Symbiont in Cyanophora Paradoxa Korschikoff
Studies conducted on the ultrastructure of Cyanophora paradoxa Korschikoff (a cryptomonad) have shown that its intracellular symbiont is closely related to unicellular blue-green algae. Due to its peculiar habitat, the intracellular symbiont lacks the characteristic cyanophycean double-layered cell wall, but is surrounded by a thin protoplasmic membrane. The protoplasm itself is differentiated ...
