Abstract excerpt
The oxygen-evolving machinery of photosystem II in cyanobacteria is associated with three extrinsic proteins: the manganese-stabilizing protein, cytochrome c(550), and PsbU. To elucidate the effect of the presence of these extrinsic proteins on the stabilization of the oxygen-evolving machinery against high-temperature stress, we inactivated the genes for these proteins individually in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803...
