Abstract excerpt
Photosystem biogenesis in the thylakoid membrane is a highly complicated process that requires the coordinated assembly of nucleus-encoded and chloroplast-encoded protein subunits as well as the insertion of hundreds of cofactors, such as chromophores (chlorophylls, carotenoids) and iron-sulfur clusters. The molecular details of the assembly process and the identity and functions of the auxiliary factors involved...
