Phosphorylation of chloroplast membrane polypeptides

Protein phosphorylation is a reversible, energy-dependent membrane modification, but it differs from the other changes in that it takes the form of a specific chemical reaction involving certain identifiable chloroplast membrane polypeptides.

Thylakoid membrane protein phosphorylation leads to a decrease in connectivity between Photosystem II reaction centers

Chloroplast phosphoproteins: regulation of excitation energy transfer by phosphorylation of thylakoid membrane polypeptides.

It is concluded that a membrane-bound protein kinase can phosphorylate surface-exposed segments of the light-harvesting pigment-protein complex, altering the properties of its interaction with the two photosystems such that the distribution of absorbed excitation energy increasingly favors photosystem I.

CHLOROPLAST MEMBRANE PROTEIN PHOSPHORYLATION

A hypothesis explaining the biochemical basis of state changes was recently presented and LHC-I1 phosphorylation was suggested to cause State I-State I1 transitions, and a summary of the evidence which has accumulated is presented.

Photosystem electron-transport capacity and light-harvesting antenna size in maize chloroplasts.

The PSII/PSI electron-transport capacity ratio (C) in maize chloroplasts is estimated, indicating that, under green actinic excitation when Chl a and Chl b molecules absorb nearly equal amounts of excitation, PSII has a capacity to turn over electrons faster than PSI.
