A Light Harvesting Complex-Like Protein in Maintenance of Photosynthetic Components in Chlamydomonas.

abstract：:A prominent feature of plant cells is the rapid, incessant movement of the organelles traditionally defined as cytoplasmic streaming and attributed to actomyosin motility. We sequenced six complete Nicotiana benthamiana cDNAs that encode class XI and class VIII myosins. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that these two c...
