Abstract excerpt
The D157N, D157E, and D157K mutations in the psbO gene encoding the photosystem II (PSII) manganese-stabilizing protein from spinach, exhibit near-wild-type PSII binding but are significantly impaired in O(2) evolution activity and Cl(-) retention by PSII [Popelkova et al. (2009) Biochemistry 48, 11920-11928]. To better characterize the role of PsbO-Asp157 in eukaryotic PSII, the effect of mutations in Asp157 on...
