Gene cabII-1 is a light regulated gene that encodes the precursor of a major chlorophyll-a/b-binding protein in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. It is a member of a small gene family composed of about 3-7 members. Nucleotide sequencing data and S1 mapping reveal that the cabII-1 gene is interrupted by three introns. Except for the transit peptide and the N-terminus, the cabII-1 gene product is similar to cabII proteins in higher plants. The cabII-1 gene in C. reinhardtii appears to be an intermediate between type-I and type-II cabII genes described in higher plants.
基因cabII-1是一个受光调控的基因，它编码莱茵衣藻中一种主要叶绿素a/b结合蛋白的前体。它是一个由大约3 - 7个成员组成的小基因家族的成员。核苷酸测序数据和S1图谱显示，cabII-1基因被三个内含子打断。除转运肽和N端外，cabII-1基因产物与高等植物中的cabII蛋白相似。莱茵衣藻中的cabII-1基因似乎是高等植物中描述的I型和II型cabII基因之间的中间类型。
