Monospecific polyclonal antibodies have been raised against synthetic
peptides derived from the primary sequences from different plant
light-harvesting Chl a/b-binding (LHC) proteins. Together with other
monospecific antibodies, these were used to quantify the levels of the 10
different LHC proteins in wild-type and chlorina f2 barley (Hordeum vulgare
L.), grown under normal and intermittent light (ImL). Chlorina f2, grown
under normal light, lacked Lhcb1 (type I LHC II) and Lhcb6 (CP24) and had
reduced amounts of Lhcb2, Lhcb3 (types II and III LHC II), and Lhcb4 (CP
29). Chlorina f2 grown under ImL lacked all LHC proteins, whereas wild-type
ImL plants contained Lhcb5 (CP 26) and a small amount of Lhcb2. The
Chlorina f2 ImL thylakoids were organized in large parallel arrays, but
wild-type ImL thylakoids had appressed regions, indicating a possible role
for Lhcb5 in grana stacking. Chlorina f2 grown under ImL contained
considerable amounts of violaxanthin (2-3/reaction center), representing a
pool of phototransformable xanthophyll cycle pigments not associated with
LHC proteins. Chlorina f2 and the plants grown under ImL also contained
early light-induced proteins (ELIPs) as monitored by western blotting. The
levels of both ELIPs and xanthophyll cycle pigments increased during a 1 h
of high light treatment, without accumulation of LHC proteins. These data
are consistent with the hypothesis that ELIPs are pigment-binding proteins,
and we suggest that ELIPs bind photoconvertible xanthophylls and replace
"normal" LHC proteins under conditions of light stress.
