The cyanobacterial homologue of HCF136/YCF48 is a component of an early photosystem II assembly complex and is important for both the efficient assembly and …
The role of the slr2034 (ycf48) gene product in the assembly and repair of photosystem II
(PSII) has been studied in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803. YCF48 (HCF136)
is involved in the assembly of Arabidopsis thaliana PSII reaction center (RC) complexes but
its mode of action is unclear. We show here that YCF48 is a component of two
cyanobacterial PSII RC-like complexes in vivo and is absent in larger PSII core complexes.
Interruption of ycf48 slowed the formation of PSII complexes in wild type, as judged from …
