Abstract excerpt
Violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE) is localized in the thylakoid lumen and catalyzes the de-epoxidation of violaxanthin to form antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin. VDE is predicted to be a lipocalin protein with a central barrel structure flanked by a cysteine-rich N-terminal domain and a glutamate-rich C-terminal domain. A full-length Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. VDE and deletion mutants of the N- and C-terminal...
