Formation of DEG5 and DEG8 Complexes and Their Involvement in the Degradation of Photodamaged Photosystem II Reaction Center D1 Protein in Arabidopsis

The widely distributed DEGP proteases play important roles in the degradation of damaged and misfolded proteins. Arabidopsis thaliana contains 16 DEGP-like proteases, four of which are located in the chloroplast. Here, we show that DEG5 and DEG8 form a hexamer in the thylakoid lumen and that recombi...
