The unicellular cyanobacteriumSynechocystisPCC 6803 is proving to be a valuable model organism for the study of thylakoid-membrane protein complexes, particularly Photosystem Two (PS2) (1). Its ability to grow photoheterotrophically in the presence of glucose, together with its natural DNA transformation system, allow mutants defective in PS2 function to be generated by a variety of methods and their properties studied (2). Our group is interested in understanding the function of the Dl polypeptide through the biochemical and biophysical characterisation of site-directed mutants. Such an approach is hampered by the presence of three different copies of thepsbA gene for each chromosome (3). As a first step towards generating mutants, we describe here the construction and preliminary characterisation of apsbA deletion mutant. Futhermore, we have been able to restore photoautotrophic growth to this deletion strain by transformation with thepsbA gene from the higher plantPoa annua.
