【 摘 要 】

We present the nucleotide sequences and derived amino acid sequences of cDNAs that encode the complete precursors of the extrinsic ‘23 kDa’ and ‘16 kDa’ polypeptides associated with the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex from spinach. The luminal proteins consist of 267/186 (precursor/mature 23 kDa protein) and 232/149 (16 kDa polypeptide) amino acid residues corresponding to molecular masses of 28.5/20.2 and 24.9/16.5 kDa, respectively. Secondary structure predictions disclose epitopes that are potential candidates for two-step processing of the precursors during import and intraorganelle routing as well as for calcium sequestering, chloride binding and subunit/subunit interaction.
