Journal ArticleDOI

The Chlamydomonas Genome Reveals the Evolution of Key Animal and Plant Functions

Sabeeha S. Merchant, +118 more
- 12 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of the elusive supercomplex that drives cyclic electron flow in photosynthesis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors isolated a protein supercomplex composed of PSI with its own light-harvesting complex (LHCI), PSII light harvesting complex, PSI-LHCII-FNR-NADPH oxidoreductase (FNR), and integral membrane protein PGRL1 (PGRL1) from C. reinhardtii cells under PSII-favouring conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

State transitions--the molecular remodeling of photosynthetic supercomplexes that controls energy flow in the chloroplast.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the recent advances of the molecular aspects of state transitions with a particular emphasis on the studies using the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the mobile light-harvesting complex II polypeptides for state transitions in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

TL;DR: The results are important because CP26, CP29, and LhcbM5, which have been viewed as belonging solely to the PSII complex, are now postulated to shuttle between PSI and PSII during state transitions, thereby acting as docking sites for the trimeric LHCII proteins in both PSI or PSII.
