In Rhodella violacea phycoerythrin (PE) has two transcripts, a premessenger and a mature messenger (the gene contains an intron). Phycocyanin, which is plastid-encoded, and the 33-kD PE rod linker polypeptide, which is nuclear-encoded, have only one transcript. The PE premessenger had a rapid turnover; mature transcripts were stable in the light and more stable in the dark. In the presence of rifampicin, cells that shifted from dark to light exhibited an active translation of preexisting transcripts. There are indications of a modulation of the nuclear genome expression by the chloroplast; it may involve an unstable, plastid-encoded translational activator. All transcripts disappeared rapidly during nitrogen starvation. If nitrogen addition was carried out in the dark, active transcription and translation resumed as in light conditions, but ceased after 2 d. Both nitrogen and light were required for a total recovery after nitrogen starvation. Compared with the transcripts of phycobilisome components studied so far in cyanobacteria and Rhodophyceae, the mature transcripts of R. violacea are very stable when nitrogen is not limiting. The unstable PE premessenger is a good indicator of active transcription. This organism is therefore an interesting model to study the regulation of gene expression and the interactions between chloroplastic and nuclear genomes.
