Abstract

Recent studies have shown that several low molecular weight proteins are associated with the photosystem II (PSII) complex in higher plants and cyanobacteria (1, 2, 3). Of these, two have been identified by N-terminal sequencing to be the products of the psbK and psbl genes (3,4,5,6). Depending on the species as well as the gel system, the psbK gene product (K protein) has an apparent molecular weight of 2–3.9 kDa as judged by SDS-PAGE and the psbl product of about 4.8 kDa (5,3,6).
