Abstract: Ps I H is an intrinsic membrane protein of 10 kD that is a subunit of photosystem I(Ps I), Ps I H is one of the three PSI subunits found only in eukaryotes, plays an important role in plant photosynthesis. A cDNA clone encoding a PS I H subunit of photosystem I was cloned from Sasussured involucrata Kar. et Kir leaf cDNA library. Sequence analysis indicated that the psaH cDNA contained an open reading frame of 432 nucleotides encoding a 143 amino acid which consisted of a 47 amino acid transit peptide and a 96 amino acid mature PS I H peptide. Forecasted the protein relative molecular weight is 15.04 kD, Theoretical pI was 9.81, contains a span membrane structure. Sequence alignment indicated that the deduced amino acid sequence of Sasussured involucrata Kar. et Kir showed high identity of 83.3% to those of PsaH from Ricinus communis and Populus trichocarpa. Phylogenetic analysis further showed that the SikPsaH gene has the nearest relationship with Lycoris radiate.
