Abstract excerpt
In plants exposed to high irradiances of visible light, the D1 protein in the reaction center of photosystem II is oxidatively damaged and rapidly degraded. Earlier work in our laboratory showed that the serine protease Deg2 performs the primary cleavage of photodamaged D1 protein in vitro. Here, we demonstrate that the rate of D1 protein degradation under light stress conditions in Arabidopsis mutants lacking...
