Site-directed mutagenesis of the CP 47 protein of photosystem II: alteration of conserved charged residues which lie within lethal deletions of the large extrinsic loop E.

Abstract excerpt

The intrinsic chlorophyll-protein CP 47 is a component of photosystem II which functions in both light-harvesting and oxygen evolution. The large extrinsic loop E of this protein has been shown to interact with the oxygen-evolving site. Previously, Vermaas and coworkers have produced a number of deletions within loop E which yielded mutants which were unable to grow photoautotrophically and which could not evolve...
