Protein
Phycobilisome 30.8 kDa linker polypeptide, phycocyanin-associated, rod
Organism
Microchaete diplosiphon
Function
Rod linker protein, associated with phycocyanin. 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.
Similarity
Belongs to the phycobilisome linker protein family.
