Arabidopsis thaliana Deg5 is an ATP-independent serine protease which resides on the luminal side of the thylakoid in chloroplasts. Deg5 and another Deg/HtrA-family protease, Deg8, have a synergistic function in the turnover of the D1 protein of photosystem II (PSII), which is prone to damage arising from high light exposure. An inactive mutant of the protein, Deg5(S266A), was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. After purification and crystallization, crystals that diffracted to 2.6 Å resolution ...[more]
