results indicate that SCO2 plays a distinct role in PSII assembly or repair and constitutes a novel factor involved in leaf variegation
Title: SNOWY COTYLEDON 2 Promotes Chloroplast Development and Has a Role in Leaf Variegation in?Both Lotus japonicus and Arabidopsis thaliana.

SCO2 interacts with LHCB1 proteins and is co-expressed with genes encoding proteins of the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway. Mutations in sco2 affect the accumulation of the chlorophyll precursor protochlorophyllide.
Title: The SCO2 protein disulphide isomerase is required for thylakoid biogenesis and interacts with LHCB1 chlorophyll a/b binding proteins which affects chlorophyll biosynthesis in Arabidopsis seedlings.

Data indicate that CYO1(At3g19220) has protein disulfide isomerase activity, and suggest that CYO1 has a chaperone-like activity required for thylakoid biogenesis in cotyledons
Title: Arabidopsis cotyledon-specific chloroplast biogenesis factor CYO1 is a protein disulfide isomerase.
