The cytochrome (cyt) b6f complex is a central component of both, photosynthetic and respiratory electron- and proton transport processes in cyanobacteria. Among its eight bona fide subunits, the Rieske [2Fe-2S] protein is encoded by multiple genes in most cyanobacterial genomes. However, the significance of the resulting protein heterogeneity is essentially not yet understood. The following chapter provides an overview on the Rieske [2Fe-2S] protein diversity in cyanobacteria, and related aspects. In addition, potential roles of small cyt b6f complex subunits are discussed.
