pH-induced conformational changes in the soluble manganese-stabilizing protein of photosystem II.
In this paper, we analyzed the pH-induced changes in the conformational states of the manganese-stabilizing protein (MSP) of photosystem II. Distinct conformational states of MSP were identified using fluorescence spectra, far-UV circular dichroism, and pressure-induced unfolding at varying suspension pH values, and four different conformational states of MSP were clearly distinguished using th...
متن کاملThe role of tryptophan in structural and functional properties of equinatoxin II.
A pore-forming, cytolytic and lethal polypeptide, equinatoxin II, from the sea anemone Actinia equina, was subjected to oxidation with N-bromosuccinimide to study the role of five present tryptophan residues in structure-function relationships. In the folded toxin molecule, 1-2 tryptophan residues were readily susceptible to oxidation with N-bromosuccinimide, whereas modification of a single re...
متن کاملThe double mutation ΔL6MW241F in PsbO, the photosystem II manganese stabilizing protein, yields insights into the evolution of its structure and function.
The W241F mutation in spinach manganese-stabilizing protein (PsbO) decreases binding to photosystem II (PSII); its thermostability is increased and reconstituted activity is lower [Wyman et al. (2008) Biochemistry 47, 6490-6498]. The results reported here show that W241F cannot adopt a normal solution structure and fails to reconstitute efficient Cl(-) retention by PSII. An N-terminal truncatio...
متن کاملN-terminal truncations of manganese stabilizing protein identify two amino acid sequences required for binding of the eukaryotic protein to photosystem II and reveal the absence of one binding-related sequence in cyanobacteria.
Manganese stabilizing protein (MSP) is an intrinsically disordered extrinsic subunit of photosystem II that regulates the stability and kinetic performance of the tetranuclear manganese cluster that oxidizes water to oxygen. An earlier study showed that deletion of the (1)E-(3)G domain of MSP caused no loss of activity reconstitution, whereas deletion of the (4)K-(10)E domain reduced binding of...
متن کاملEffects of field conditions, low nitrogen and drought on genetic parameters of protein and tryptophan concentrations in grain of quality protein maize
Quality Protein Maize (QPM) has about twice the amount of lysine and tryptophan of normal maize and hence represents an important tool of correcting its deficiency in protein quality. However, the effects of low nitrogen and drought on genetic parameters such as gene action and combining abilities of protein quantity and quality of QPM are not known. To study how these genetic parameters are af...
