The Essential Role of the N-Terminal Domain of the Orange Carotenoid Protein in Cyanobacterial Photoprotection: Importance of a Positive Charge for Phycobilisome Binding

2012

This article provides information about the interaction between the phycobilisomes and the Orange Carotenoid Protein needed for photoprotection. Its red light–activated form has an open structure that allows the interaction of its N-terminal domain, containing the Arg155, with the phycobilisome, permitting a closer interaction between the carotenoid and the phycobilisome chromophores.
