Protein
Phycobilisome 7.8 kDa linker polypeptide, allophycocyanin-associated, core
Organism
Synechococcus sp. (strain ATCC 27144 / PCC 6301 / SAUG 1402/1)
Function
Rod linker protein, associated with allophycocyanin. Linker polypeptides determine the state of aggregation and the location of the disk-shaped phycobiliprotein units within the phycobilisome and modulate their spectroscopic properties in order to mediate a directed and optimal energy transfer (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the phycobilisome linker protein family.
