Abstract excerpt
The degradation rate of the D1 polypeptide was measured in three Synechocystis PCC 6803 mutants in vivo. Mutations were introduced into a putative cleavage area of the D1 polypeptide (QEEET motif) and into the PEST-like area. PEST sequences are often found in proteins with a high turnover rate. T...
