Lci5 | low carbon dioxide induced protein number 5

KLH-comjugated synthetic peptide chosen from a sequence of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Lci5 protein A8IGD9

Lci5 protein is encoded by the nuclear gene lci5, which is induced during the acclimation to low CO₂ conditions in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The Lci5 protein is peripherally associated with the stroma side of thylakoid membranes. In addition, this protein is heavily phosphorylated (7 sites, 3 Threonine and 4 serine residues, as shown by mass spec anlaysis) in cells growing under low CO₂ concentrations in the medium or during state transitions (state 2). Microarray analysis showed that the gene is up-regulated 3 times during the acclimation to low CO₂ conditions.
