Résumé

The extrinsic proteins of photosystem II in plants (PsbO, PsbP and PsbQ) are known to be targets of stress. In previous work, differential regulation of hypothetical isoforms of these proteins was observed in Nicotiana benthamiana upon viral infection. Each of these proteins is encoded by a multigene family in this species: there are at least four genes encoding PsbO and PsbP and two encoding PsbQ. The results of structural and functional analyses suggest that PsbO and PsbP isoforms could show differences in activity, based on significant substitutions in their primary structure. Two psbQ sequences were isolated which encode identical mature proteins.
