The analysis of the R-band luminosity function of galaxies in substructures of 21 Abell clusters shows that the characteristic magnitude M* for dominant substructure is brighter than in the second substructure and the magnitude gap between two brightest galaxies in dominant substructure is larger than in the second one.
