Abstract excerpt
Manganese-stabilizing protein of photosystem II, an intrinsically disordered polypeptide, contains a high ratio of charged to hydrophobic amino acid residues. Arg151 and Arg161 are conserved in all known MSP sequences. To examine the role of these basic residues in MSP structure and function, three mutants of spinach MSP, R151G, R151D, and R161G, were produced. Here, we present evidence that replacement of Arg151...
