Cloning a gene encoding a light-harvesting I polypeptide from Ectothiorhodospira sp.
نویسنده
چکیده
Trying to detect the genes coding for light harvesting II polypeptides of the purple bacteria Ectothiorhodospira sp. a gene corresponding to a light harvesting I polypeptide was cloned. This paper discusses the probable reasons of this result. The sequence of this polypeptide underlines the strong similarity with light harvesting complexes from bacteria such as Rhodospirillum molischianum and Chromatium vinosum.

A study on the heterogeneity of the light-harvesting complex II from Ectothiorhodospira sp. after acid/chaotropic treatment.
The light-harvesting complex II of the purple bacteria has two strong near infrared electronic absorption bands, around 800 (B800) and 850 (B850) nm, arising from the Qy transitions of bacteriochlorophyll a. It was previously reported that under some specific acid/chaotropic conditions the B850 bacteriochlorophylls of the light-harvesting complex II of Ectothiorhodospira sp. are strongly reorga...
متن کاملAbsorption Properties of the Carotenoids after Alkaline Denaturation of the Light-Harvesting Complex II from Ectothiorhodospira sp
Alkaline treatment of the Ectothiorhodospira sp. light harvesting system II induces monomerisation of the bacteriochlorophylls and a bleaching of the carotenoid absorption bands in the visible region. Concomitantly, the maximum of absorption observed around 373 nm shifts towards 354 nm. This shift does not result from the Soret band but from a change of the absorption properties of the caroteno...
متن کاملIdentification of the polypeptides of the major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHCII) with their genes in tomato.
Using an improved SDS-PAGE system, the polypeptides of the major chlorophyll a/b light-harvesting complex of PSII (LHCII) from tomato leaves were resolved into five polypeptide bands. All the polypeptides were matched with the genes encoding them by comparing amino acid sequences of tryptic peptides with gene sequences. The two major LHCII bands (usually comigrating as a '27 kDa' polypeptide) w...
متن کاملCloning and molecular characterization of TaERF6, a gene encoding a bread wheat ethylene response factor
Ethylene response factor proteins are important for regulating gene expression under different stresses. Different isoforms for ERF have previously isolated from bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and related genera and called from TaERF1 to TaERF5. We isolated, cloned and molecular characterized a novel one based on TdERF1, an isoform in durum wheat (Tri...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence and chromosomal location of Cab11 and Cab12, the genes for the fourth polypeptide of the photosystem I light-harvesting antenna (LHCI).
Tryptic peptide sequences from the 22 kDa polypeptide of tomato LHCI were used to construct a probe for gene cloning. The two genes cloned, cab11 and cab12, encode proteins of 251 and 250 residues that are 88% identical in overall amino acid sequence and 93% identical in the deduced mature protein. Each gene is present in a single copy per haploid genome; cab11 on chromosome 3 and cab12 on chro...
