Abstract excerpt
We identified two neighboring missense mutations in the chloroplast atpA gene which are responsible for the defect of ATP synthase assembly in the FUD16 mutant from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The two corresponding amino acid substitutions, Ile184-->Asn and Asn186-->Tyr, occurred at strictly conserved sites among the alpha and beta subunits of (C)F1 complexes from bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. The...
