  1. GC, gene located within a cluster comprising the cpcGI and cpcS genes; NC, gene unlinked to other PBS genes; RC, gene located within the PBS rod gene cluster. Novel gene names proposed in this study are underlined. *pecE/F-like fusion gene [19]. †Ortholog of Nostoc sp. PCC 7120 'cpeS1' gene [51,52] that we propose to rename cpcS (see text). ‡Ortholog of a Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 cpcT gene [50]. §Novel cpcT paralog found downstream of rpcA. Novel cpcS paralog found upstream of pebA. ¥These two novel, closely related genes are both paralogs of cpeY. #Gene split into two different reading frames in this strain. CA, type IV chromatic adapter.
