N-terminal region of PetD is essential for cytochrome b6f function and controls STT7 kinase activity via STT7-dependent feedback loop phosphorylation

Afifa Zaeem, Yuval Milrad, Simon Bütfering, Carolyne Stoffel, Adrien Burlacot, Martin Scholz, Felix E. Buchert, Michael Hippler

The study shows that the N-terminal region of PetD is essential for b6f function and regulates STT7 kinase activity through a feedback loop involving phosphorylation at T4.
