The Small, Methionine-Rich Chloroplast Heat-Shock Protein Protects Photosystem II Electron Transport during Heat Stress1

Scott A. Heckathorn2, *, Craig A. Downs, Thomas D. Sharkey, and James S. Coleman3

Department of Biology, Syracuse University, 130 College Place, Syracuse, New York 13244-1220 (S.A.H., J.S.C.); and Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, 430 Lincoln Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 (C.A.D., T.D.S.)

Evidence suggests that the small chloroplast heat-shock protein (Hsp) is involved in plant thermotolerance but its site of action is unknown. Functional disruption of this Hsp using anti-Hsp antibodies or addition of purified Hsp to chloroplasts indicated that (a) this Hsp protects thermolabile photosystem II and, consequently, whole-chain electron transport during heat stress; and (b) this Hsp completely accounted for heat acclimation of electron transport in pre-heat-stressed plants. Therefore, this Hsp is a major adaptation to acute heat stress in plants.
