Nucleotide sequence and expression of the gene for the 9 kDa FA/FB component of photosystem I from the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC7120.
The nucleotide sequence of an 813 bp Ssp I-Hinc II fragment containing the psaC gene from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is reported. The gene encodes a polypeptide of 81 amino acids, has a single transcript of size approximately 480 nucleotides and a single startpoint of transcription. It is flanked by a ribosome binding site on the 5' end and a potential transcription terminator on the 3' end. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the psaC gene product from sixteen organisms shows that cyanobacteria group as a cluster distinct from monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants and that individual amino acids are diagnostic of each cluster.
