Synthesis and assembly of the D1 protein into photosystem II: processing of the C-terminus and identification of the initial assembly partners and complexes during photosystem II repair.

Abstract：

:In previous studies [van Wijk, K. J., Bingsmark, S., Aro, E.-M., & Andersson, B. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 25685-25695; van Wijk, K. J., Andersson, B., & Aro, E.-M. (1996) J. Biol. Chem 271, 9627-9636], we have demonstrated that D1 protein synthesized in isolated chloroplasts and thylakoids is incorporated into the photosystem II (PSII) core complex. By pulse-chase experiments in these in vitro systems, followed by sucrose gradient fractionation of solubilized thylakoid membranes, it was shown that this assembly proceeded stepwise; first the D1 protein was incorporated to form a PSII reaction center complex (PSII rc), and through additional assembly steps the PSII core complex was formed. In this study, we have analyzed this assembly process in more detail, with special emphasis on the initial events, through further purification and analysis of the assembly intermediates by nondenaturing Deriphat-PAGE and by flatbed isoelectric focusing. The D2 protein was found to be the dominant PSII reaction center protein initially associating with the new D1 protein. This strongly suggests that the D2 protein is the primary "receptor" or stabilizing component during or directly after synthesis of the D1 protein. After formation of the D1-D2 heterodimer, cyt b559 became attached, whereas the psbI gene product was assembled as a subsequent step, thereby forming a PSII reaction center complex. Subsequent formation of the PSII core occurred by binding of CP47 and then CP43 to the PSII rc. The rapid radiolabeling of a minor population of a PSII core subcomplex without CP43 indicated that an association of newly synthesized D1 protein with a preexisting complex consisting of D2/cyt b55q/psbI gene product/CP47 was possibly occurring, in parallel to the predominant sequential assembly pathway. The kinetics of synthesis and processing of the precursor D1 protein were followed in isolated chloroplasts and were compared with its incorporation into PSII assembly intermediates. No precursor D1 protein was found in PSII core complexes, indicating either that incorporation into the PSII core complex facilitates the cleavage of the C-terminus or, more likely, that processing is more rapid than the assembly into the PSII core.
