The protein composition and architecture of the photosynthetic membranes from the cyanobacterium,Synechococcus cedrorum, were analyzed with the aid of site-specific labels. Using membranes labeled with35S, about 50 membrane proteins can be detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate acrylamide gel electrophoresis. Approximately half of the proteins are accessible to modification by the impermeant probe, lactoperoxidase, indicating that they have surface-exposed domains. At least six of these external proteins can be removed by EDTA washing; the correspondence in molecular weights between five of these EDTA-extractable proteins and those of typical chloroplast coupling factor preparations may indicate that they are subunits of a membrane-bound ATPase. The photoactive, lipophilic compound, [125I]iodonaphthyl azide, was used to label protein domains in contact with the lipid bilayer. Iodonaphthyl azide modification led to a labeling pattern significantly different from that seen with lactoperoxidase. In particular, proteins in the 13 000–20 000 dalton range that were labeled poorly or not at all by lactoperoxidase were heavily modified by iodonaphthyl azide.Photosystem I and II particles, extracted from the membrane by digitonin treatment, were iodinated by lactoperoxidase after isolation. The PS I particles acted as a relatively tight complex, with most of the proteins remaining inaccessible to surface modification. The PS II particles, on the other hand, responded as a more open structure, with most of the subunits yielding to lactoperoxidase iodination. Similar studies on a highly fluorescent, temperature-sensitive mutant ofS. cedrorumrevealed a different organization of the PS II complex. This mutant, when grown at 40°C, inserts a 51 kdalton polypeptide in place of a 53 kdalton protein. This protein also replaces the 53 kdalton species in the PS II complex of the mutant after 40°C growth. The structure of this complex is altered in that more sites become accessible to lactoperoxidase. This is particularly true of the 51 kdalton protein, which is barely labeled in wild-type PS II complexes.
