Abstract excerpt
Photosynthesis generates reactive oxygen species that damage photosynthetic machinery. Singlet oxygen (1O2) produced at photosystem II (PSII) damages PSII proteins, with D1 as a primary target due to its proximity to the site of 1O2 generation. During PSII repair, D1 is degraded by the FtsH metalloprotease complex, followed by resynthesis and PSII reassembly. Oxidation of a conserved tryptophan residue (Trp14) in...
