Abstract The primary structure of the Chla/b/c-binding protein from Mantoniella squamata is determined. This is the first report that protein sequencing reveals one modified amino acid resulting in a LHCP-specific TFA-cleavage site. The comparison of the sequence of Mantoniella with other Chla/b-and Chla/c-binding proteins shows that the modified amino acid is located in a region which is highly conserved in all these proteins. The alignment also reveals that the LHCP of Mantoniella is related to the Chla/b-binding proteins. Finally, possible Chl-binding regions are discussed.
