Inefficient Carotenoid-Mediated Quenching of Chlorophyll a Triplet: A Hypothetical Cause for the Evolution of Cys-Mediated Quenching in IsiA

Abstract Iron-stress-induced protein A (IsiA) is a chlorophyll (Chl) a-containing protein in cyanobacteria. Under low-iron growth, it is the most abundant intracellular Chl a-binding protein. IsiA and the CP43 protein are suggested to have coevolved from a common ancestral protei...
