The gene for the 10 kDa phosphoprotein of photosystem II is located in chloroplast DNA

Abstract
Nucleotide sequencing of a region of wheat chloroplast DNA between the genes for the 47 kDa chlorophyll a‐binding protein of photosystem II (psbB) and cytochrome b‐563 (petB) has revealed an open reading frame of 73 codons. This open reading frame has been identified as the gene (psbH) for the 10 kDa phosphoprotein of photosystem II by comparison with the published N‐terminal amino acid sequence and amino acid composition of the purified spinach protein. The predicted sequence of the protein shows some homology with the N‐terminal region of the light‐harvesting chlorophyll a/b‐binding protein of photosystem II (LHCII).
