This family consists of various photosystem II 4 kDa reactioncentre components (PsbK) from plant and Cyanobacteria. The photosystem II reaction centre is responsible for catalysing the core photosynthesis reaction the light-induced splitting of water and the consequential release of dioxygen. In C. reinhardtii the psbK product is required for the stable assembly and/or stability of the photosystem II complex [1].
