Chloramphenicol stimulation of light harvesting chlorophyll protein complex accumulation in a chlorophyll B deficient wheat mutant.
As compared with normal wheat leaves, the chlorina wheat mutant, designated CD3, has a high chlorophyll a/b ratio and a deficiency in the light harvesting chlorophyll protein (LHCP) complex. Applications of 200 micrograms per milliliter of d-threo-chloramphenicol to etiolated seedlings decreased the chlorophyll a/b ratio and increased the accumulation of the 27 kilodalton LHCP polypeptide and t...
متن کاملThe light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins.
Photosynthetic light harvesting in plants is regulated by phosphorylation-driven state transitions: functional redistributions of the major trimeric light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) to balance the relative excitation of photosystem I and photosystem II. State transitions are driven by reversible LHCII phosphorylation by the STN7 kinase and PPH1/TAP38 phosphatase. LHCII trimers are composed o...
متن کاملReorganization of the Photosystem II Unit in Developing Thylakoids of Higher Plants after Transfer to Darkness : Changes in Chlorophyll b, Light-Harvesting Chlorophyll Protein Content, and Grana Stacking.
A light-dependent reversible grana stacking-unstacking process, paralleled by a reorganization of thylakoid components, has been noticed in greening etiolated bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, var. red kidney) leaves upon transfer to darkness. The reorganization, based on biochemical and biophysical criteria, involves mainly the photosystem II (PSII) unit components: upon transfer to darkness, the ligh...
متن کاملFunctional and mutational analysis of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein of thylakoid membranes
The precursor for a Lemna light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (pLHCP) has been synthesized in vitro from a single member of the nuclear LHCP multigene family. We report the sequence of this gene. When incubated with Lemna chloroplasts, the pLHCP is imported and processed into several polypeptides, and the mature form is assembled into the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHC II)...
متن کاملAssembly of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll-a/b complex: Thermodynamics and kinetics of neoxanthin binding.
The major light-harvesting chlorophyll-a/b complex in most higher plants contains three carotenoids, lutein, neoxanthin, and violaxanthin. How these pigments are assembled into the complex during its biogenesis is largely unknown. Here we show that neoxanthin but not lutein can dissociate from the fully assembled complex. Its equilibrium binding constant in a detergent system (0.1% n-dodecyl-be...
