Protein
Phycobilisome 31.8 kDa linker polypeptide, phycoerythrin-associated, rod
Organism
Microchaete diplosiphon
Function
Rod linker protein, associated with phycoerythrocyanin. 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.
