| Abstract | In oxygenic photosynthetic organisms the PSI-C polypeptide, encoded by the psaC gene, provides the ligands for two [4Fe-4S] centers, FA and FB, the terminal electron acceptors in the photosystem I (PSI) complex. An insertion mutation introduced in the psaC locus of the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 resulted in the creation of a mutant strain, T398-1, that lacks the PSI-C polypeptide. In medium supplemented with 5 mM fructose, the mutant cells grew well in the dark. However, when grown in the same medium under light, the doubling rate of T398-1 cells was significantly decreased. In intact cells of T398-1, bicarbonate-dependent whole-chain electron transport (PSII and PSI) could not be detected, although partial electron transport reactions involving either one of the two photosystems could be measured at significant rates. The low-temperature EPR signals attributed to the [4Fe-4S] centers FA and FB were absent in the mutant cells. Chemical titration measurements indicated that the ratios of chlorophyll to the primary donor P700 were virtually identical in membranes from the wild-type and mutant cells. Moreover, room-temperature optical spectroscopic analysis of the thylakoid membranes isolated from T398-1 showed flash-induced P700 oxidation followed by dark rereduction, indicating primary photochemistry in PSI. Thus stable assembly of the reaction center of PSI can occur in the absence of the Fe-S cluster cofactors FA and FB. These studies demonstrate that Anabaena 29413 offers a useful genetic system for targeted mutagenesis of the PSI complex. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
