Thf1 interacts with PS I and stabilizes the PS I complex inSynechococcussp. PCC7942

What is it about?

Using the model cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC7942, we showed that the thylakoid membrane system was not affected in the thf1 deletion strain. Defect of Thf1 increases the high light sensitivity, PS I was found more seriously affected than PS II in ∆Thf1 and further analysis indicated that Thf1 interacts with PS I and thereby stabilizes PS I.
