在 cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803, rbp3, type-II RNA 有约束力的蛋白质基因,被温度换至较低排挡稍微导致。rbp3 异种在全部的多元不堡和显示出重要减小在膜类脂化合物的丰满的酸(PUFA ) 。然而,在 PUFA 的减小没达到将显著地在低温度影响异种的生长的程度。丰满的酸 desaturase 基因 desA, desB 和 desD 的抄本,和 ccr-1,在 15 为生长要求的基因
In the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803, rbp3, a type-ⅡRNA-binding protein gene, is slightly induced by temperature downshift. An rbp3 mutant shows significant reduction in total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in membrane lipids. However, the reduction in PUFA has not attained the extent that would significantly affect the growth of the mutant at low temperature. Transcripts of fatty acid desaturase genes desA, desB and desD, and ccr-1, a gene required for growth at 15℃, are significantly reduced in the mutant relative to the wild type, while transcripts of rbpl (RNA-binding protein 1) and crhR (RNA helicase Light) are not affected. Rbp3 may directly or indirectly affect mRNA levels of certain genes.
