General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function cpcT null mutant contains 40% less phycocyanin than wild type and produces smaller phycobilisomes with red-shifted absorbance and fluorescence emission maxima. Phycocyanin from the cpcT mutant has an absorbance maximum at 634 nm compared with 626 nm for the wild-type. The phycocyanin beta-subunit from the cpcT mutant has slightly smaller apparent molecular weight on SDS-PAGE. No phycocyanobilin chromophore is bound to the peptide containing Cys153 derived from the phycocyanin beta-subunit of the cpcT mutant Synechococcus sp.
