title: The light-harvesting chlorophyll a-c-binding protein of dinoflagellates: a putative polyprotein.
abstract: The principle light-harvesting chlorophyll a-c-binding protein of Amphidinium carterae of 19 kDa is encoded as a polyprotein translated from a 6.1 kb mRNA. The cDNA sequences indicate that each derived polypeptide is contiguous with the next and that the mature peptides are formed by cleavage at a C-terminal arginine residue. Comparison of the amino-acid sequences shows the Amphidinium protein to be most closely related to the fucoxanthin-chlorophyll-protein (Fcp) of Phaeodactylum and less related to the chlorophyll a-b-binding (Cab) proteins including those from Euglena.
