physiological function | a prepilin peptidase pilD null mutant accumulates an unprocessed form of the major pilin PilA1 and its non-glycosylated derivative. The mutant strain has aberrant membrane ultrastructure and does not grow photoautotrophically because the synthesis of Photosystem II subunits is abolished. Other membrane components such as Photosystem I and ATP synthase are synthesized at levels comparable to the control strain. Proliferation of the pilD mutant strain is rescued by elimination of the pilA1 gene. PilA1 co-immunoprecipitates with the SecY translocase and the YidC insertase, and both of these essential translocon components are degraded in the mutant | Synechocystis sp. |
