Characterisation of the PsbX protein from Photosystem II and light regulation of its gene expression in higher plants. Shi, L., Kim, S. J., Marchant, A., Robinson, C., & Schröder, W. P. Plant Molecular Biology, 40(4):737–744, July, 1999.
Paper doi abstract bibtex The location and expression of the previously uncharacterised photosystem II subunit PsbX have been analysed in higher plants. We show that this protein is a component of photosystem II (PSII) core particles but absent from light-harvesting complexes or PSII reaction centres. PsbX is, however, localised to the near vicinity of the reaction centre because it can be cross-linked to cytochrome b559, which is known to be associated with the D1/D2 dimer. We also show that the expression of this protein is tightly regulated by light, since neither protein nor mRNA is found in dark-grown plants.
