Why is it so difficult to construct Q(i) site mutants in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii?

Comptes rendus biologies - 1 Jul 2008

de Lacroix de Lavalette Agnès, Barbagallo Romina Paola, Zito Francesca

Abstract excerpt

The cytochrome b(6)f complex catalyses electron transfer from plastoquinol to a hydrosoluble acceptor (plastocyanin), while building up an electrochemical proton gradient. Oxidation and reduction of plastoquinol occur respectively at the Q(o) site (exposed on the luminal side of the thylakoid membrane) and at the Q(i) site (facing the stroma). The discovery of an additional c'-type heme in the Q(i) site has cast...
