Abstract
An intrinsic 22 kDa polypeptide is found associated with the oxygen‐evolving photesytem II (PSII) core complex in all green plants and cyanobacteria so far examined, although it does not appear to be required for oxygen evolution. Amino acid sequence information obtained from the purified 22 kDa protein was used to construct a probe that was employed to isolate a full‐length cDNA clone encoding the 274‐residue precursor of the 22 kDa protein. Hydropathy plot analysis predicts the existence of four membrane‐spanning helices in the mature protein. The two halves of the approximattely 200‐residue mature protein show high sequence similarity to each other, suggesting that the psbS gene arose from an internal gene duplication. The 22 kDa protein has some sequence similarity to chlorophyll a/b‐binding, proteins.Keywords
