We have characterized the phosphoproteome of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings using high-accuracy mass spectrometry and report the identification of 1429 phosphoproteins and 3029 unique phosphopeptides. Among these, 174 proteins were chloroplast phosphoproteins. Motif-X analysis of the phosphorylation sites in chloroplast proteins identified four significantly enriched kinase motifs, which include casein kinase II (CKII) and proline-directed kinase motifs, as well as two new motifs at the C-terminus of ribosomal proteins. Using the phosphorylation motifs as a footprint for the activity of a specific kinase class, we connected the phosphoproteins with their putative kinases and constructed a chloroplast CKII phosphorylation network. The network topology suggests that CKII is a central regulator of different chloroplast functions. To provide insights into the dynamic regulation of protein phosphorylation we analyzed the phosphoproteome at the end-of-day and end-of-night. The results revealed only minor changes in chloroplast kinase activities and phosphorylation site utilization. A notable exception was ATPB, which is found phosphorylated at CKII phosphorylation sites preferentially in the dark. We propose that ATP synthase is regulated in cooperation with 14-3-3 proteins by CKII-mediated phosphorylation of ATPB in the dark.
