Example sentences for: lhcp
How can you use “lhcp” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Import of a mutant LHCP into isolated chloroplasts was nearly abolished when His within the motif was substituted with Ala [ 28 ] . Association of Chl with this motif, therefore, appears essential for continuation of the proteins on the pathway of assembly of an LHC.
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.
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.
3. Assuming a relative equilibrium constant of 3.0 for Chl a and 5.0 for Chl b binding to a ligand in LHCP (numerals approximated from data obtained by Tamiaki et al.
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.
