The D1 protein of Photosystem II (PSII), encoded by the psbA genes, is an indispensable component of oxygenic photosynthesis. Due to strongly oxidative chemistry of PSII water splitting, the D1 protein is prone to constant damage and requires its replacement by a new copy every 5h under low light conditions and every 20 minutes under intense illumination, whereas most of the other PSII subunits remain ordinarily undamaged. In Cyanobacteria the D1 protein is encoded by a psbA gene family, ranging from 1 to 6 members. The presence of multiple psbA genes encoding different D1 isoforms is an indication of their importance in regulatory mechanisms responsible for maintaining a functional PSII upon changing environmental conditions in natural habitats of cyanobacteria. Here we present a comparative analysis of the sequences of gene family psbA in cyanobacteria, with characteristically features of all psbA genes and the D1 protein isoforms that they encode.
