Abstract
Background information on both the intrinsic light-harvesting complex (LHC) and peridinin-chlorophyll a-protein (PCP) is given. Amino acid sequences and introns of both the mature proteins and the chloroplast transit peptides have been analysed and a different route to the chloroplast is postulated. Two distinct forms of PCP are sufficiently dissimilar that they may not be homologous and no ancestor for either can be deduced. Heterologous expression of apoPCP and its reconstitution to functional PCP is reported.
