Inactivation of the clpP1 gene for the proteolytic subunit of the ATP-dependent Clp protease in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus limits growth and light acclimation

Abstract
ClpP functions as the proteolytic subunit of the ATP-dependent Clp protease in eubacteria, mammals and plant chloroplasts. We have cloned a clpP gene, designated clpP1, from the cyanobacterium...
