Abstract excerpt
PsbO, the photosystem II manganese stabilizing protein, contains an aspartate residue [Asp157 (spinach numbering)], which is highly conserved in eukaryotic and prokaryotic PsbOs. The homology model of the PSII-bound conformation of spinach PsbO presented here positions Asp157 in the large flexible loop of the protein. We have characterized site-directed mutants (D157N, D157E, and D157K) of spinach PsbO that were...
