FACHB440 is cloned, sequenced and characterized. Results show that GC content of the gene in strain Spirulina sp. FACHB440 is higher than that in the others. The alignments based on deduced amino acid sequences indicate that Spirulina sp. FACHB440 is different from that in other three samples of Arthrospira, though they have the same conserved functional sites (95, 98, 121, 124, 221, 257). The nucleotide sequence similarity among the three strains of the genus of Arthrospira (96.5～99.6%) is higher than that between Arthrospira and Spirulina (78.1～78.5%). By comparison of the corresponding sequence of other cyanobacteria, a phylogenetic tree with two clusters is constructed. A. Platensis FACHB341, A. Maxima OUQDSM and A. Platensis FACHB439 form the monophyletic linage, which is fully supported by bootstrap values (1000), while Spirulina sp. FACHB440 and Anabaena sp. PCC7120 cluster in another linage with the bootstrap value of 909.展开更多

The full-length cDNA is a 2 308 bp consisting of 5' untranslated region (UTR) of 1 203 bp, an open reading frame (ORF) of 960 bp that encodes 320 amino acids, and 3' UTR of 145 bp. The mature γ polypeptide contains two unique internal repeat domains as reported by Apt et al. (2001). Sequence analysis of the different clones revealed different 3'-end sequences at the γ subunit. The difference between the 3'-end sequences suggests that the γ subunit may have more than one copy, or have gone through different post-transcriptional modification. By comparing the DNA and cDNA sequences, we found that the γ subunit is an intronless gene. This is thefirst report of the γ subunit gene of R-phycoerythrin from C. officinalis.展开更多
