    Notes: The numbers of potential response regulator genes were determined from the complete and annotated genome sequences of Archaea and Bacteria. The numbers of each class of response regulators are shown for each organism, determined principally from BLASTP searches, but with reference to the gene category lists where available. The survey shows that for Bacteria there is a link between the total number of potential response regulator genes and both the genome complexity (number of potential protein-coding genes) and the organism's lifestyle/habitat. Increasingly complex lifestyles and genome complexities are matched by an increase in the average number of potential response regulator genes per genome, indicating that a higher degree of complexity requires a higher level of control of gene expression and cellular activity. Detailed results of this study are available online at and .

    Notes: A gene required for the short-term regulation of photosynthetic light harvesting (the state transition) has been identified in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803. The open reading frame is designated sll1926 in the complete Synechocystis gene sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence has no homologues in current sequence databases and no recognizable sequence motifs. It encodes a putative integral membrane protein of 16 kDa, which we have designated RpaC (regulator of phycobilisome association C). Fluorescence measurements of an insertional inactivation mutant of rpaC (Δsll1926) show that it is specifically unable to perform state transitions. Δsll1926 has approximately wild-type levels of PS1, PS2 and phycobilisomes. Measurements of oxygen evolution and uptake show Δsll1926 to have no deficiency in electron transport rates. In vitro [γ-32P]-ATP labelling experiments suggest that RpaC is not the 15 kDa membrane phosphoprotein previously implicated in state transitions. Δsll1926 grows more slowly than the wild type only at very low light intensities.

    Cyanobacterial ycf27 gene products regulate energy transfer from phycobilisomes to photosystems I and II (1999)

    Notes: Two open reading frames (slr0115 and slr0947) in the genome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 are shown to be involved in the regulation of the coupling of phycobilisomes to photosynthetic reaction centres. Homologues of these genes, called ycf27, have been found in a range of phycobilin-containing organisms. The slr0115 and slr0947 gene products are OmpR-type DNA-binding response regulator proteins. Deletion of slr0115 results in increased efficiency of energy transfer from phycobilisomes to photosystem II relative to photosystem I. Reduction of the copy number of slr0947 has the opposite phenotypic effect. We have given the slr0115 and slr0947 genes the designations rpaA and rpaB respectively.

    The ycf 27 genes from cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae: distribution and implications for chloroplast evolution (2002)

    Notes: The two ycf 27 genes from the filamentous cyanobacterium Tolypothrix PCC 7601 have been cloned and sequenced. These two genes, previously designated rpaA and rpaB, encode putative transcriptional regulators of the ‘OmpR’ family. In Synechocystis PCC 6803, homologous genes have been linked to the regulation of transfer of excitation energy from the phycobilisome to photosystem (PS) I and PSII respectively. Partial clones from Spirulina platensis, Dactylococcopsis salina and Synechococcus PCC 7002 have also been sequenced. A table of identity between the proteins confirms that RpaB belongs in the same family as the algal ycf 27 proteins. However, RpaA is a rather different protein and should lose the designation ycf 27. The loss of rpaB from the plastid genomes of eukaryotic algae is associated with the loss of phycobiliproteins, so it is likely that this gene performs a similar role in algae to that in cyanobacteria. The implications for chloroplast evolution are discussed along with the possible identity of the cognate histidine kinase gene in the plastid genomes.

    Analysis of multiple copies of geminiviral DNA in the genome of four closely related Nicotiana species suggest a unique integration event (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Previously, we discovered multiple direct repeats of geminivirus-related DNA (GRD) sequences clustered at a single chromosomal position in Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco). Here we show that, in addition to tobacco, multiple copies of these elements occur in the genomes of three related Nicotiana species, all in the section Tomentosae: N. tomentosiformis, N. tomentosa and N. kawakamii, but not in 9 other more distantly related Nicotiana species, nor in various other solanaceous and non-solanaecous plants. DNA sequence analysis of 18 GRD copies reveal 4 distinct, but highly related, sub-families: GRD5, GRD3 and GRD53 in tobacco; GRD5 in N. tomentosiformis and N. kawakamii; and GRD2 in N. tomentosa. In addition to novel sequences, all elements share significant but varying lengths of DNA sequence similarity with the geminiviral replication origin plus the adjacent rep gene. There is extended sequence similarity to REP protein at the deduced amino acid sequence level, including motifs associated with other rolling circle replication proteins. Our data suggest that all GRD elements descend from a unique geminiviral integration event, most likely in a common ancestor of these Tomentosae species.

    Notes: Abstract The role of the phycobilisome core components, ApcD and ApcF, in transferring energy from the phycobilisome to PS I and PS II in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 has been investigated. The genes encoding these proteins have been disrupted in the genomes of wild type Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 and a PS II deficient mutant, PsbD1CD2-, by inserting antibiotic resistance genes into their coding regions. Data from fluorescence emission spectra and pigment content analysis for these inactivation mutants is presented. These data suggest that both ApcD and ApcF are involved in the energy transfer route to PS II and PS I. In both cases, the energy transfer may to the reaction centres may be via the chromophore of ApcE (the L cm) or anchor polypeptide). The major route of energy transfer to both kinds of reaction centre appears to involve ApcF rather than ApcD. When both ApcF and ApcD are absent, the phycobilisomes are unable to transfer energy to either reaction centre. We suggest a model for the pathways of energy transfer from the phycobilisomes to PS I and PS II.
