Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we proposed that starch phosphorylase (Pho1) interacts with PsaC, a core subunit of photosystem I (PSI), although it was not clear whether the interaction was a direct 1:1 relationship or by indirect association with another factor. Here, we validated the Pho1-PsaC interaction in vivo using bimolecular fluorescence complementation analysis. Pulldown assays with wild-type, BMF136, and the...
