Three extrinsic polypeptides and manganese cluster were sequentially released from the membrane when photosystem 2 (PS2) membranes were kept under high hydrostatic pressure. The 17 kDa polypeptide was the most sensitive, while the 33 kDa polypeptide was the most reluctant to the treatment with high pressure. The release of manganese was not simply correlated with the loss of 33 kDa polypeptide. The losing of oxygen-evolving activity of PS2 was synchronised with the releasing of extrinsic polypeptides and manganese.
