This entry consists of the 23 kDa subunit of oxygen evolving system of photosystem II or PsbP from various plants (where it is encoded by the nuclear genome) and Cyanobacteria (known as CyanoP). The 23 KDa PsbP protein is required for PSII to be fully operational in vivo, it increases the affinity of the water oxidation site for Cl- and provides the conditions required for high affinity binding of Ca2+ [2]. Structure of CyanoP from Synechocystis sp. revealed that it has an alpha-beta-alpha fold containing 10 beta strands organized into two anti-parallel beta-sheets, packed against alpha-helices. This entry covers the first seven beta-stands (beta1-beta7) and the N-terminal alpha-helix [1].
