The PsbS Protein: A Cab-protein with a Function of Its Own

  • Chapter
Regulation of Photosynthesis

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 11))

Summary

Chlorophyll a/b binding proteins (Cab proteins) are the most abundant membrane proteins on earth. The intrinsic PsbS protein of Photosystem II is very peculiar among the family of the Cab proteins. It differs from the conventional light harvesting proteins by an additional putative fourth transmembrane helix. PsbS is able to bind chlorophyll a and b, but unlike other chlorophyll-binding proteins it does not take part in the process of light harvesting. It is present in etiolated plants and seems to be stable also in the absence of pigments. There fore, it was suggested to have a function in transient pigment binding and act as a chlorophyll carrier protein, a role that is also postulated for its relatives, the early light induced proteins (ELIPs). Recently the PsbS protein received broad attention when it was shown, that an Arabidopsis thaliana mutant, which is not able to perform non-photochemical quenching, is deficient in the psbS gene. This chapter provides an overview of the data obtained for the PsbS protein so far, emphasizing its similarities and differences to the Cab-antenna proteins and ELIPs and discusses its possible function.
