The major light-harvesting antennae in certain eukaryotic algae and prokaryotic cyanobacteria are macromolecular complexes called phycobilisomes (Gantt, 1981; Glazer, 1977, 1982, 1985; Glazer et al., 1983). Although functionally analogous to the light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complexes of higher plants, these water-soluble structures are attached to but not embedded in the photosynthetic membranes. The phycobilisome is composed of two structural domains: the core which is proximal to the photosynthetic membranes and the rods which radiate from the core. A typical hemidiscoidal phycobilisome structure, found in many cyanobacteria, is presented in Fig. 1. Over the past decade spectral (see Gantt, 1981; Glazer, 1982, 1985) immunological (see Gantt, 1981), biochemical (Yamanaka et al., 1980; Redlinger and Gantt, 1981; Yamanaka and Glazer, 1981; Yamanaka et al., 1982; Gingrich et a/., 1982; Lundelll and Glazer, 1983a, b) and X-ray crystallographic analyses (Riimbeli et al., 1985; Schirmer et al., 1985; Schirmer et at., 1986) of this complex have resulted in a detailed picture of its architecture (for review on phycobilisome structure see Glazer et al., 1983) and some aspects of the pathway of energy transfer (Glazer et a/., 1985; Glazer, 1985). The phycobilisome is composed of chromophoric (85%) and nonchromophoric (ISYO) polypeptides (Tandeau de Marsac and Cohen-Bazire, 1977). Based on their spectral characteristics the chromophoric proteins, or phycobiliproteins, have been classified into three major groups, allophycocyanin (AP), phycocyanin (PC), and phycoerythrin (PE). Phycoerythrocyanin, a fourth phycobiliprotein species, sometimes replaces PE in the light-harvesting complex. The basic phycobiliprotein building block is a monomer containing two dissimilar subunits (a and p). In the core, monomers of AP (A,,, 650 nm) aggregate into trimers which, depending upon their position in the phycobilisome are assembled with'Nomenclature for biliprotein subunits and linker polypeptides is after Glazer (1985). For the biliproteins, the subunits are denoted by type (a or p) and groups (AP, PC or PE). For example, alpha-PC is denoted apt. The linkers are denoted by their molecular weight (MW)(superscript) and location in the phycobilisome (subscript)(where C= core, R= rod substucture. ItC= rod core junction, CM= core-thylakoid membrane jaunction). For example, the anchor protein is denoted L; t! h.
