Journal ArticleDOI
Chloroplast-mediated regulation of CO2-concentrating mechanism by Ca2+-binding protein CAS in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Lianyong Wang,Takashi Yamano,Shunsuke Takane,Yuki Niikawa,Chihana Toyokawa,Shin Ichiro Ozawa,Ryutaro Tokutsu,Yuichiro Takahashi,Jun Minagawa,Yu Kanesaki,Hirofumi Yoshikawa,Hideya Fukuzawa +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that a chloroplast Ca2+-binding protein, CAS, changes its localization in response to environmental CO2 conditions and regulates the expression of nuclear-encoded limiting-CO2–induced genes, including two key bicarbonate transporters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-Time Monitoring of Chloroplast Gene Expression by a Luciferase Reporter: Evidence for Nuclear Regulation of Chloroplast Circadian Period
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that chloroplast gene expression rhythm is a bona fide circadian rhythm and that the nucleus-encoded circadian oscillator determines the period length of the chlorochloroplast rhythm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eyespot-dependent determination of the phototactic sign in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Noriko Ueki,Takahiro Ide,Shota Mochiji,Yuki Kobayashi,Ryutaro Tokutsu,Norikazu Ohnishi,Katsushi Yamaguchi,Shuji Shigenobu,Kan Tanaka,Jun Minagawa,Toru Hisabori,Masafumi Hirono,Ken-ichi Wakabayashi +12 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that light-shielding property of the eyespot is essential for determination of phototactic sign, and directly showed that the cell body acts as a convex lens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic regulation of photosynthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
TL;DR: This review focuses on the recent findings regarding the environmental regulation of photosynthesis in model organisms, paying particular attention to the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which offer a glimpse into the dynamic behavior of photosynthetic machinery in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binding and Functional Properties of the Extrinsic Proteins in Oxygen-Evolving Photosystem II Particle from a Green Alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii having His-tagged CP47
TL;DR: Results indicate that the acceptor side, Q(B) site, was altered in the PSII particles but its donor side remained intact, and suggest that each of the three extrinsic proteins has their own binding sites independent of the others in the green algal PSII.
