Phosphatase activities in spinach thylakoid membranes-effectors, regulation and location
Abstract
The dephosphorylation of seven phosphoproteins associated with Photosystem II or its chlorophyll a/b antenna in spinach thylakoids, was characterised. The rates were found to fall into two distinct groups. One, rapidly dephosphorylated, consisted of the two subunits (25 and 27 kD) of the major light harvesting complex of Photosystem II (LHC II) and a 12 kD polypeptide of unknown identity. A marked correlation between the dephosphorylation of these three phosphoproteins, strongly suggested that they were all dephosphorylated by the same enzyme. Within this group, the 25 kD subunit was consistently dephosphorylated most rapidly, probably reflecting its exclusive location in the peripheral pool of LHC II. The other group, only slowly dephosphorylated, included several PS II proteins such as the D1 and D2 reaction centre proteins, the chlorophyll-a binding protein CP43 and the 9 kD PS II-H phosphoprotein. No dephosphorylation was observed in either of the two groups in the absence of Mg(2+)-ions. Dephosphorylation of the two LHC II subunits took place in both grana and stroma-exposed regions of the thylakoid membrane. However, deposphorylation in the latter region was significantly more rapid, indicating a preferential dephosphorylation of the peripheral (or 'mobile') LHC II. Dephosphorylation of LHC II was found to be markedly affected by the redox state of thiol-groups, which may suggest a possible regulation of LHC II dephosphorylation involving the ferredoxin-thioredoxin system.
