Disease relevance of sll0821

The open reading frame sll0821 (designated cph2 in this work) has structural characteristics similar to those of the plant phytochromes and the Synechocystis Cph1 with high amino acid sequence homology in the N-terminal chromophore binding domain [1].

High impact information on sll0821

To test this hypothesis, portions of locus sll0821, a novel phytochrome-related gene from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 that encodes a large protein with two potential bilin binding sites, were amplified, and the recombinant apoproteins were tested for bilin binding and phytochrome photoactivity [2].
