Physiologically healthy pea chloroplasts contain unassembled, soluble subunits of the oxygen-evolving complex in the thylakoid lumen. We report that the lifetimes of two of these subunits, both on and off the membrane, exceed 8 h in vitro. We also demonstrate that each of the subunits present in the thylakoid lumen is competent for assembly into the membrane-bound complex. These data are consistent with the postulate that the soluble lumen-resident subunits play a role in photosystem II homeostasis. We also demonstrate that the reconstitution of the 33 kDa subunit is inhibited by extremely low concentrations of Triton X-100, suggesting that hydrophobic interactions are involved in the binding of this subunit to the photosystem II reaction center.
