RESUMO
The genes for the following proteins were localized by hybridization analysis on the cyanelle genome of Cyanophora paradoxa: the alpha and beta subunits of phycocyanin (cpcA and cpcB); the alpha and beta subunits of allophycocyanin (apcA and apcB); the large and small subunits of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL and rbcS); the two putative chlorophyll alpha-binding apoproteins of the photosystem I-P700 complex (psaA and psaB); four apoproteins believed to be components of the photosystem II core complex (psbA, psbB, psbC, and psbD); the two apoprotein subunits of cytochrome b-559 which is also found in the core complex of photosystem II (psbE and psbF); three subunits of the ATP synthase complex (atpA and atpBE); and the cytochrome f apoprotein (petA). Eighty-five percent of the genome was cloned as BamHI, BglII, or PstI fragments. These cloned fragments were used to construct a physical map of the cyanelle genome and to localize more precisely some of the genes listed above. The genes for phycocyanin and allophycocyanin were not clustered and were separated by about 25 kilobases. Although the rbcL gene was adjacent to the atpBE genes and the psbC and psbD genes were adjacent, the arrangement of other genes encoding various polypeptide subunits of protein complexes involved in photosynthetic functions was dissimilar to that observed for known chloroplast genomes. These results are consistent with the independent development of this cyanelle from a cyanobacterial endosymbiont.
