Abstract

Various washing procedures were tested on Triton-prepared PS II particles for their ability to remove the 33 kDa extrinsic polypeptide (33 kDa EP) associated with the water-splitting complex. Residual 33 kDa EP was evaluated by Coomassie blue staining of SDS gels of washed particles and by Western blotting with an antibody specific for the 33 kDa EP. A wash with 16 mM Tris buffer, pH 8.3, inhibited water-splitting activity but did not remove all the 33 kDa EP. Sequential washes with 30 mM octyl glucoside (pH 8.0 and 6.8), and a single wash with 0.8 M Tris were also ineffective in removing all the 33 kDa EP. Washing with 1 M CaCl2 was more effective in removing 33 kDa EP; while only a faint trace of protein was detectable by Coomassie-staining, immunoblotting revealed a considerable remainder. The treated particles retained some water-splitting activity. The two step procedure of Miyao and Murata (1984) involving 1 M NaCl and 2.3 M urea was most effective, removing all but a trace of antibody positive protein. Our finding suggests that (1) the degree of depletion of the 33 kDa EP cannot be judged on the basis of Coomassie stain alone, and (2) this extrinsic protein is very tightly associated with the membrane, perhaps via a hydrophilic portion of this otherwise hydrophilic protein. The results also suggest that the presence or absence of the 33 kDa protein per se is not the primary determinant of residual water splitting activity.
