Abstract excerpt
The Photosystem II (PSII) core antenna chlorophyll a-binding protein, CP47, contains six membrane-spanning alpha-helices separated by five hydrophilic loops: A-E. To identify important hydrophilic cytosolic regions, oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was employed to introduce short segment deletions into loops B and D, and the C-terminal domain. Four strains carrying deletions of between three and five residues...
