Article Synopsis
- The phycobilisome (PBS) in cyanobacterium is a crucial light-harvesting complex composed of phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin, which degrades under starvation conditions, revealing a truncated fragment of the alpha-subunit of phycoerythrin known as F-alphaPE.
- F-alphaPE was isolated, sequenced, and crystallized, showing a merohedrally twinned crystal structure with a resolution refined to 23.2% for R(cryst) and 27.6% for R(free), containing two similar molecules designated A and B.
- The structure of F-alphaPE is made up of seven alpha-helices and contains chromoph
