Abstract excerpt
PsbM and PsbT have been assigned to electron densities on both photosystem II (PSII) monomers at the PSII dimer interface in X-ray crystallographic structures from Thermosynechoccocus elongatus and T. vulcanus. Our results show that removal of either or both proteins from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 resulted in photoautotrophic strains but the DeltaPsbM:DeltaPsbT mutant did not form stable dimers. A CP43-less PSII...
