Popis: A synthetic peptide analogue of the phosphorylation site of LHC II, when phosphorylated by thylakoid membranes, served as a substrate for the thylakoid phosphoprotein phosphatase. The phosphopeptide became dephosphorylated at a low rate, comparable to that of the 9 kDa phosphoprotein. Phospho-LHC II itself became dephosphorylated much more rapidly, at a rate unaffected by endogenous phosphorylation of the peptide. Endogenous phosphorylation of the peptide was also without effect on other thylakoid protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions. In contrast, dephosphorylation of many thylakoid phosphoproteins was inhibited by addition of a pure, chemically-synthesised phosphopeptide analogue of phospho-LHC II
