"chloroplast structure of corresponding mutants suffers more during short days... interaction between N-terminal domain of CGL160 and CF1... functionally replacing membrane domain of CGL160 with Atp1 protein from cyanobacteria of genus Synechocystis... 80% function restored... CGL160 in land plants may have come from a predecessor protein of cyanobacteria... plant cells acquired their chloroplasts through incorporation and functional integration of cyanobacteria"
