| Research Abstract |
In this study, we focused on the molecular mechanism of the intracellular assembly of supramolecular complex. Especially, we studied the structure and function of the protein, involved in the assembly of cyanobacterial light harvesting antennae complex on the thylakoid membrane. We constructed cyanobacterial Ycf34 expression plasmids and purified those proteins. We found the expressed Ycf34 holds iron-sulfur cluster in the protein. The mutation analysis indicated that each of five cysteine residues of Ycf34 involved in the holding of iron-sulfur cluster in the protein.
