Abstract
The intrinsic 22 kDa polypeptide associated with photosystem II (psbS protein) was found to be able to bind chlorophyll. Extraction of isolated photosystem II membranes with octyl‐thioglucopyranoside, followed by repetitive electrophoresis under partially denaturing conditions gave only one green band. It contained both chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, exhibited an absorption maximum at 674 nm and a 77 K fluorescence peak at 675 nm. The chlorophyll‐protein band contained a single polypeptide of 22 kDa. Based on these results and on previous protein sequence comparisons, it is suggested that the psbS protein is a chlorophyll a/b binding polypeptide and should thus be denoted CP22.Keywords
