Diurnal variations in expression of photosynthesis-related proteins in the harmful Raphidophyceae Chattonella marina var. antiqua

Many biological features of Chattonella species display diurnal oscillations, but little is known about the corresponding cellular responses at the proteome level. In the present study, we hypothesized that the abundance of certain proteins would periodically fluctuate to suit the diurnal changes of biological processes in Chattonella cells. To test this hypothesis, we undertook proteomic analysis over 7 time points covering a 24-h period in C....
