Journal ArticleDOI
PsaL subunit is required for the formation of photosystem I trimers in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803
TL;DR: PsaL is necessary for trimerization of Photosystem I and may constitute the trimer‐forming domain in the structure of photosystem I, which is accessible to digestion by thermolysin in the monomers but not in the trimers of photoystem I purified from wild type membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
PHOTOSYSTEM I: Function and Physiology
TL;DR: The strong reductant produced by photosystem I has a central role in chloroplast metabolism, and thus photosystem II has a critical role in the metabolic networks and physiological responses in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recruitment of a Foreign Quinone into the A1 Site of Photosystem I I. GENETIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF PHYLLOQUINONE BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAY MUTANTS IN SYNECHOCYSTIS SP. PCC 6803

TL;DR: Targeted inactivation of the menA and menB genes, which code for phytyl transferase and 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate synthase prevented the synthesis of phylloquinone, thereby confirming the participation of these two gene products in the biosynthetic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and mutational analysis of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein of thylakoid membranes.
TL;DR: It is concluded that stable complex formation is not required for the processing and insertion of altered LHCPs into the thylakoid membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
The proteome of maize leaves: use of gene sequences and expressed sequence tag data for identification of proteins with peptide mass fingerprints.
TL;DR: The results show that EST databases in conjunction with peptide mass fingerprints can be used for identifying proteins from organisms with incomplete genome sequence information.
