The Acquisition of a Plastid by Haptophytes, Cryptophytes, and Photosynthetic Heterokonts
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Red algae and green plants are known to have obtained their photosynthetic organelles, or plastids, through the endosymbiotic adoption of cyanobacteria. It is still widely debated as to how other eukaryotic alga such as ...
RNA polymerase II CTD Evolutionary Diversity and Associated Protein Identification in Green and Red Algae
(East Carolina University, 2014)
In model eukaryotes, the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit (RPB1) of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II is composed of tandemly repeated heptads with the consensus sequence YSPTSPS. Both the core motif and tandem ...
