Evolution of an assembly factor-based subunit contributed to a novel NDH-PSI supercomplex formation in chloroplasts

The chloroplast NDH complex interacts with Photosystem I to form the NDH-PSI supercomplex. Here the authors show that Arabidopsis NDF5 shares a common ancestor with the NDH subunit PnsB2 and acts as an NDH assembly factor initiating the assembly of PnsB2 and the evolutionarily distinct PnsB3.
