MUT-4100 npq1 [Niyogi 73.44]
Datasheet
Catalog No: ALS-03323
Product Details
Subategory:
Mutants
Description:
The npq1 mutant has normal levels of violaxanthin but cannot convert violaxanthin to antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin during exposure to excessive light, suggesting a defect in the enzyme violaxanthin de-epoxidase. The NPQ1 locus was mapped to linkage group IV, between BLD1 and COX3. At the time, no Chlamydomonas homolog of the plant VDE gene had been identified. Subsequently this gene was found, but it is on chromosome 2, inconsistent with these mapping results.
