摘要

Photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ) is a key component of photosynthesis, the process of converting sunlight into the chemical energy of life. In plant cells, it forms a unique oligomeric macrostructure in membranes of the chloroplasts. Several light-harvesting antenna complexes are organized precisely in the PSⅡ macrostructure―the major trimeric complexes (LHCII) that bind 70% of PSⅡ chlorophyll and three minor monomeric complexes―which together form PSⅡ supercomplexes. The antenna complexes are essential for collecting sunlight and regulating photosyn- thesis, but the relationship between these functions and their molecular architecture is unresolved. Here we report that anti-sense Arabidopsis plants lacking the proteins that form LHCII trimers have PSⅡ supercomplexes with almost identical abundance and structure to those found in wild-type plants. The place of LHCII is taken by a normally minor and monomeric complex, CP26, which is synthesized in large amounts and organized into trimers. Trimerization is clearly not a specific attribute of LHCII. Our results highlight the importance of the PSⅡ macrostructure: in the absence of one of its main components, another protein is recruited to allow it to assemble and function.
