Abstract excerpt
Band 7 proteins, which encompass members of the stomatin, prohibitin, flotillin, and HflK/C protein families, are integral membrane proteins that play important physiological roles in eukaryotes but are poorly characterized in bacteria. We have studied the band 7 proteins encoded by the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, with emphasis on their structure and proposed role in the assembly and...
