Abstract:
:The chlorina-f2 mutant of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) contains no chlorophyll b in its light-harvesting antenna, whereas the chlorina-103 mutant contains approximately 10% of the chlorophyll b found in wild-type. The absolute chlorophyll antenna size for Photosystem-II in wild-type, chlorina-103 and chlorina-f2 mutant was 250, 58 and 50 chlorophyll molecules, respectively. The absolute chlorophyll antenna size for Photosystem-I in wild-type, chlorina-103 and chlorina-f2 mutant was 210, 137 and 150 chlorophyll molecules, respoectively. In spite of the smaller PS I antenna size in the chlorina mutants, immunochemical analysis showed the presence of polypeptide components of the LHC-I auxiliary antenna with molecular masses of 25, 19.5 and 19 kDa. The chlorophyll a-b-binding LHC-II auxiliary antenna of PS II contained five polypeptide subunits in wild-type barley, termed a, b, c, d and e, with molecular masses of 30, 28, 27, 24 and 21 kDa, respectively. The polypeptide composition of the LHC-II auxiliary antenna of PS II was found to be identical in the two mutants, with only the 24 kDa subunit d present at an equal copy number per PS II in each of the mutants and in the wild-type barley. This d subunit assembles stably in the thylakoid membrane even in the absence of chlorophyll b and exhibits flexibility in its complement of bound chlorophylls. We suggest that polypeptide subunit d binds most of the chlorophyll associated with the residual PS II antenna in the chlorina mutants and that is proximal to the PS II-core complex.
