Characterizations are presented for RNA, 2 cDNA libraries, and 2 full-length cDNA sequences encoding for photosynthetic light-harvesting peridinin-chlorophyll a-protein (PCP) in the dinoflagellate Heterocapsa pygmaea. Subsequent analyses of the PCP system also indicate that (1) it is represented by multiple nuclear encoded genes, (2) a subset of mRNAs encoding for PCP apoproteins are regulated by growth irradiance, (3) PCP preproteins are larger than the mature apoproteins, and (4) PCP cDNA clones sequenced thus far contain a conserved region but are not identical. Results are discussed in the context of photoadaptation in dinoflagellates.
本文对来自微小异帽藻（Heterocapsa pygmaea）的RNA、2个cDNA文库以及2个编码光合捕光多甲藻叶绿素a蛋白（PCP）的全长cDNA序列进行了表征。随后对PCP系统的分析还表明：（1）它由多个核编码基因代表；（2）编码PCP脱辅基蛋白的mRNA子集受生长辐照度调节；（3）PCP前体蛋白比成熟脱辅基蛋白大；（4）迄今为止测序的PCP cDNA克隆包含一个保守区域，但并不相同。本文在甲藻光适应的背景下对结果进行了讨论。
