Abstract excerpt
The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii contains several light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b complexes (LHC): four major LHCIIs, two minor LHCIIs, and nine LHCIs. We characterized three chlorophyll b-less mutants to assess the effect of chlorophyll b deficiency on the function, assembly, and stability of these chlorophyll a/b binding proteins. We identified point mutations in two mutants that inactivate the CAO...
