Abstract excerpt
We have characterized the biochemical nature and the function of PsbZ, the protein product of a ubiquitous open reading frame, which is known as ycf9 in Chlamydomonas and ORF 62 in tobacco, that is present in chloroplast and cyanobacterial genomes. After raising specific antibodies to PsbZ from Chlamydomonas and tobacco, we demonstrated that it is a bona fide photosystem II (PSII) subunit. PsbZ copurifies with...
