Abstract excerpt
During evolution of land plants, a specific motif occurred in the N-terminal domain of the chloroplast-localized small heat shock protein, Hsp21: a sequence with highly conserved methionines, which is predicted to form an amphipathic alpha-helix with the methionines situated along one side. The functional role of these conserved methionines is not understood. We have found previously that treatment, which causes...
