We have used antibodies generated against synthetic peptides to determine the topology of the 43 kD chlorophyll a binding protein (CP 43) of Photosystem II. Based on the pattern of proteolytic fragments detected (on western blots) by peptide specific antibodies, a six transmembrane span topological

In cyanobacteria, solubilization of thylakoid membranes by detergents yields both monomeric and trimeric Photosystem I (PS I) complexes in variable amounts. We present evidence for the existence of both monomeric and trimeric PS I in cyanobacterial thylakoid membranes with the oligomeric state depen
The folding through the thylakoid membrane of the D-I herbicide binding polypeptide and of the homologous D-2 subunit of photosystem II is predicted from comparison of amino acid sequences and hydropathy index plots with the folding of the subunits L and M of a bacterial photosystem. As the function
Thylakoid membranes retaining a high capacity to phosphorylate the D 1 protein of photosystem II but free from contamination by exogenous proteases have been prepared. Almost all the DI protein in this preparation is unphosphorylated, but it is almost completely phosphorylated by illumination in the
