“…The data presented here demonstrate the existence in the A. thaliana genome of all the different types of CAB genes presently known, consistent with the observation that all the different types of antenna complexes are present in the thylakoid membranes ofA. thaliana chloroplasts [1]. These results also suggest that other plant species will be found to possess all or most of these genes, as has been partly demonstrated in the gymnosperm Scots pine [7].…”

“…Chlorophyll molecules bound to CAB proteins in these antenna complexes are the primary acceptors of light energy. The LHCI, LHCII, CP24 and CP29 antenna complexes have been identified in many plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana [1]. To date, we have isolated and characterized tomato genes encoding four different types of CAB polypeptides of LHCI, The nucleotide sequence data reported will appear in the EMBL, GenBank and DDBJ Nucleotide Sequence Databases under the accession numbers X64459 (LhblB1) and X64460 (LhblB2).…”

A second locus (Lhb1B) encoding Photosystem II Type I chlorophyll a/b-binding (CAB) polypeptides was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. This locus carries two genes in an inverted orientation. The predicted sequences of the polypeptides encoded by these two genes show substantial divergence in their amino termini relative to each other and to the proteins encoded by the three Lhb1 CAB genes previously characterized [10], but little divergence within the predicted primary structure of the mature protein. DNA probes derived from seven additional types of tomato CAB genes, encoding chlorophyll a/b-binding polypeptides of several antenna systems of the photosynthetic apparatus, were tested against A. thaliana. Each of these hybridized in Southern blots to unique DNA fragment(s), demonstrating the existence of each of these different types of CAB genes in the genome of A. thaliana. The number of genes encoding each CAB type in A. thaliana was estimated to be similar to that of tomato.
