The biogenesis of the lumenal 16 kDa protein of the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex was analysed using an assay for the import of proteins by isolated thylakoids. The precursor protein is imported with high efficiency in the light in both the presence and absence of stromal extract. Import is
Photosystem II (PSII) in higher plants is a multiprotein transmembrane complex residing in the thylakoids of chloroplasts. Oxygen evolution activity of inside-out thylakoid vesicles is inhibited by treatment with 250 mM NaC1, which releases water-soluble polypeptides of 17 and 23 kDa from PSII [1].
