High impact information on petG

To verify that this phenotype was due to the removal of petG, we also constructed a strain with a deletion in the open reading frame (ORF56), which is found 25 base pairs downstream of petG [1].
Antisera specific for cytochrome f, cytochrome b6, the Rieske iron-sulfur protein, subunit IV, and a 4-kDa subunit (product of the petG gene) were used to quantify the degree of extraction of each of these polypeptides following various treatments [2].
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 5159 base-pair (bp) region of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii plastome containing three photoelectron transport genes, psbF, psbL and petG, and an unusual open reading frame, ORF712 [3].
Organization and structure of plastome psbF, psbL, petG and ORF712 genes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [3].
Immunoblotting experiments show that neither petG nor petX are present in thylakoid membranes from a b6f-less strain of C. reinhardtii [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of petG

A petG deletion strain of C. reinhardtii was then obtained by biolistic transformation [1].
