Abstract excerpt
The D1 protein of photosystem II is synthesized in precursor with a carboxyl-terminal extension. Interestingly, there is quite a range in chain length of the extension, which roughly depends upon the class of organisms. In cyanobacteria, e.g. in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, the extension consists of 16 amino acid residues, seven residues longer than its counterpart in higher plants. In this study, we examined the...
