Example sentences for: lhcb
How can you use “lhcb” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This experiment provides a positive in vivo selection for validation of the hypothesis, in contrast to the dramatic decrease in accumulation of the proteins when ligands are removed by substitution with non-ligand amino acids [ 42 ] . Furthermore, whereas stable complexes can be achieved by reconstitution with wild-type Lhcb1 and only Chl b but not only Chl a [ 37 43 ] , the hypothesis predicts that stable complexes can be reconstituted with the mutant protein containing these substitutions and Chl a.
Substitution of these amino acids in the sequence of Lhcb1, a major LHCP that can not be detected in Chl b -less plants [ 5 8 ] , would be expected to restore accumulation of the protein with only Chl a.
In particular, a stable complex should accumulate after Gln131, Glu139, Asn183 and Gln197 in Lhcb1 are replaced with His.
Chl, chlorophyll; Chlide, chlorophyllide; Pchlide, protochlorophyllide; LHC, light-harvesting complex; LHCII, LHC associated primarily with photosystem II; LHCP, LHC apoprotein; Lhcb or Lhca, apoproteins of LHCs associated with photosystem II or I, respectively.
Lhcb6, a minor LHCP, contains Gly instead of Pro at the position analogous to 82 in Lhcb1, thus eliminating the peptide bond carbonyl of Gly as a ligand, but Lhcb6 has a potential ligand for Chl b in Gln83 [ 39 40 ] . These two LHCP sub-species, along with Lhca4 are most affected by the lack of Chl b in vivo [ 5 ] . Lhcb4 (apoprotein of CP29) has Val instead of Pro at 'position 82', and the absence of site a 6 in Lhcb4 may contribute to its drastic reduction in Chl b -less mutants [ 5 8 ] . However, Lhcb2, Lhcb3, Lhca1, Lhca2 and Lhca3 contain the Gly peptide carbonyl as a ligand (each has Pro at 'position 82' [ 40 ] ) but are reduced only slightly, if any, in amount by the lack of Chl b.
