Popis: | In Photosystem II (PSII), a high number of plastid encoded and membrane integral low molecular weight proteins smaller than 10 kDa, the proteins PsbE, F, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, Tc, Z and the nuclear encoded PsbW, X, Y1, Y2 proteins have been described. Here we show that all low molecular weight proteins of PSII already accumulate in the etioplast membrane fraction in darkness, whereas PsaI and PsaJ of photosystem I (PSI) represent the only low molecular weight proteins that do not accumulate in darkness. We found by BN-PAGE separation of membrane protein complexes and selective MS that the accumulation of one-helix proteins from PSII is light independent and occurs in etioplasts. In contrast, in chloroplasts isolated from light-grown plants, low molecular weight proteins were found to specifically accumulate in PSI and II complexes. Our results demonstrate how plants grown in darkness prepare for the induction of chlorophyll dependent photosystem assembly upon light perception. We anticipate that our investigation will provide the essential means for the analysis of protein assembly in any membrane utilizing low molecular weight protein subunits. |
