Abstract excerpt
The W241F mutation in spinach manganese-stabilizing protein (PsbO) decreases binding to photosystem II (PSII); its thermostability is increased and reconstituted activity is lower [Wyman et al. (2008) Biochemistry 47, 6490-6498]. The results reported here show that W241F cannot adopt a normal solution structure and fails to reconstitute efficient Cl(-) retention by PSII. An N-terminal truncation of W241F,...
