Studies are proposed which allow the continued characterization                 of the Photosystem I (PS I) and Photosystem II (PS II) reaction                 centers via molecular genetics.  The roles of several recently                  cloned genes, including psaC, psaD, psaE, and psbH, will be                     pursued by interposon and/or site-directed mutagenesis.  The                    primary goal of the proposed work is to establish methods and                   strains which will allow a detailed analysis of PS I structure                  and function in Synechococcus sp.  PCC 7002.  Special attention                 will be given to the low-molecular-mass polypeptides associated                 with the PS I and PS II reaction centers.  Additional work on the               role(s) of light and nutrients in the regulation of                             cyanobacterial gene expression will be pursued by transcript                    analyses and gene fusion methods.  Finally, we will continue to                 explore the phylogenetic relationships among cyanobacteria,                     cyanelles, and chloroplasts.
