Abstract
The sophisticated regulation of state transition is required to maintain optimal photosynthetic performance under fluctuating light condition, through balancing the absorbed light energy between photosystem II and photosystem I. This exquisite process incorporates phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of light-harvesting complexes and PSII core subunits, accomplished by thylakoid membrane-localized kinases and phosphatases that have not been fully identified. In this study, one Chlamydomonas high light response gene, THYLAKOID ENRICHED FRACTION 8 (TEF8), was characterized. The Chlamydomonas tef8 mutant showed high light sensitivity and defective state transition. The enzymatic activity assays showed that TEF8 is a bona fide phosphatase localized in thylakoid membranes. Biochemical assays, including BN-PAGE, pull-down, and phosphopeptide mass spectrometry, proved that TEF8 associates with photosystem II and is involved in the dephosphorylation of D2 and CP29 subunits during state 2 to state 1 transition. Taken together, our results identified TEF8 as a thylakoid phosphatase with multiple dephosphorylation targets on photosystem II, and provide new insight into the regulatory mechanism of state transition and high light resistance in Chlamydomonas.
期刊介绍:
Publishing the best original research papers in all key areas of modern plant biology from the world"s leading laboratories, The Plant Journal provides a dynamic forum for this ever growing international research community.
Plant science research is now at the forefront of research in the biological sciences, with breakthroughs in our understanding of fundamental processes in plants matching those in other organisms. The impact of molecular genetics and the availability of model and crop species can be seen in all aspects of plant biology. For publication in The Plant Journal the research must provide a highly significant new contribution to our understanding of plants and be of general interest to the plant science community.
