Abstract excerpt
The intrinsic chlorophyll protein CP 43, a component of photosystem II (PS II) in higher plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria, is encoded by the psbC gene. Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis was employed to introduce mutations into a segment of psbC that encodes the large extrinsic loop E of CP 43 in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6803. Two mutations, R305S and R342S, each produced a strain with impaired...
