Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide ORFeome cloning and analysis of Arabidopsis transcription factor genes.

TL;DR: Novel alternative splicing of TF gene transcripts is responsible for the observed differences in at least five genes, however, thoseAlternative splicing events do not appear to be differentially regulated among distinct Arabidopsis tissues examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of phycobilisome from the red alga Griffithsia pacifica

TL;DR: The structure of a 16.8-megadalton PBS from a red alga at 3.5 Å resolution obtained by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy is reported, revealing the mechanisms underlying specific interactions between linkers and phycobiliproteins, and the formation of linker skeletons.
Journal ArticleDOI

HetR homodimer is a DNA-binding protein required for heterocyst differentiation, and the DNA-binding activity is inhibited by PatS

TL;DR: It is presented evidence that shows that the up-regulation of patS and hetR depends on DNA binding by HetR dimer, and the pentapeptide RGSGR, which is present at the C terminus of PatS and blocks heterocyst formation, inhibits the DNA binding of HtR and prevents het R up- regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assembly of photosystem I. I. Inactivation of the rubA gene encoding a membrane-associated rubredoxin in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 causes a loss of photosystem I activity.

TL;DR: The results indicate that RubA plays a specific role in the biogenesis of PS I, and overproduction of the water-soluble rubredoxin domain inEscherichia coli led to a product with the absorption and EPR spectra of typical rubredoxins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural organization of an intact phycobilisome and its association with photosystem II

TL;DR: The results provide insights into the molecular architecture of an intact PBS at different assembly levels and provide the basis for understanding how the light energy absorbed by PBS is transferred to PSII.
