摘要：

Modern computational methods for protein structure prediction have been used to study the structure of the 33 kDa extrinsic membrane protein, associated to the oxygen evolving complex of photosynthetic organisms. A multiple alignment of 14 sequences of this protein from cyanobacteria, algae and plants is presented. The alignment allows the identification of fully conserved residues and the recognition of one deletion and one insertion present in the plant sequences but not in cyanobacteria. A tree of similarity, deduced from pair-wise comparison and cluster analysis of the sequences, is also presented. The alignment and the consensus sequence derived are used for prediction the secondary structure of the protein. This prediction indicates that it is a mainly-beta protein (25-38% of β-strands) with no more than 4% of α-helix. Fold recognition by threading is applied to obtain a topological 2D model of the protein. In this model the secondary structure elements are located, including several highly conserved loops. Some of these conserved loops are suggested to be important for the binding of the 33 kDa protein to Photosystem II and for the stability of the manganese cluster. These structural predictions are in good agreement with experimental data reported by several authors.
