Proline in a transmembrane helix compensates for cavities in the photosynthetic reaction center.

Journal of molecular biology - 29 Sept 1995

Schiffer M, Ainsworth C F, Deng Y L, Johnson G, Pascoe F H, Hanson D K

Abstract excerpt

A site-specific double mutant, in which the large aromatic residues M208Tyr and L181Phe in the interior of the photosynthetic reaction center (RC) complex were replaced by smaller threonine residues, showed a dramatic reduction in the number of assembled complexes and was incapable of photosynthetic growth. The cavity created by the smaller side-chains was thought to interfere with the stability and/or assembly...
