Abstract excerpt
Members of the DegP/HtrA (or Deg) family of proteases are found widely in nature and play an important role in the proteolysis of misfolded and damaged proteins. As yet, their physiological role in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms is unclear, although it has been widely speculated that they participate in the degradation of the photodamaged D1 subunit in the photosystem two complex (PSII) repair cycle, which is...
