Assembly of Light Harvesting Pigment-Protein Complexes in Photosynthetic Eukaryotes

2011
In photosynthetic eukaryotes, the antenna system includes members of a protein family of Light-harvesting complexes encoded by the Lhc genes. These proteins bind 8–14 chlorophylls (Chls) and 2–4 carotenoid molecules per 22–28 kDa polypeptide; further, the pigments are needed for the assembly of monomeric proteins.

Evolutionary distribution of light-harvesting complex-like proteins in photosynthetic eukaryotes

Genome, 2010
Light-harvesting-like (LIL) proteins are low-molecular-mass membrane proteins related to the light-harvesting complexes, which form the dominant antenna system in most photosynthetic eukaryotes. To analyze the LIL protein family, we mined a number of publicly available databases to identify members of this family in a broad range of organisms.

Light-Harvesting Complexes of Diatoms: Fucoxanthin-Chlorophyll Proteins

2020
Diatoms contain antenna proteins called fucoxanthin-chlorophyll-proteins (FCP) that belong to the huge family of intrinsic light-harvesting complex proteins (LHCs). In comparison to higher plants, many more polypeptides are present, that are sorted into three major groups: Lhcf that constitute all major antenna complexes, Lhcr that are only found ...

Pigment-Protein Complexes and Light Harvesting in Eustigmatophyte Algae

1987
The Eustigmatophyta comprises a small group of yellow-green coccoid unicellular algae (1) with unique array of pigments, notable primarily for the absence of Chi b and Chl c; the major pigments are Chl a, β-carotene, violaxanthin and vaucheriaxanthin ester.

A Complex Gene Encoding a Dinoflagellate Light-Harvesting Protein

1998
Most of the chlorophyll in eukaryotic organisms is bound to intrinsic light-harvesting complexes. Although these complexes have apoproteins of widely differing Mr (17–30kDa) and bind almost the entire range of photosynthetic pigments, they are evolutionarily related [1].

Monoclonal Antibodies to the Light Harvesting Chlorophyll-Protein Complex

1987
The light harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein complex binds antenna pigments which serve to transfer absorbed light energy to photosystem II for use in photosynthesis. Recently LHC-II has been the subject of much research aimed at determining its structure and function in the regulation of exciton distribution between the photosystems and cation ...

Isolation and characterization of light harvesting bacteriochlorophyll · protein complexes from Rhodopseudomonas capsulata

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1978
The isolation of two native light harvesting bacteriochlorophyl.protein complexes from Rhodopseudomonas capsulata is described. The light harvesting bacteriochlorophyll I (B 875) has been isolated from the blue-green mutant A1a+ lacking both carotenoids and light harvesting bacteriochlorophyll II.

A Protein Tyrosine Kinase of Chloroplast Thylakoid Membranes Phosphorylates Light Harvesting Complex II Proteins

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1998
Phosphorylation of chloroplast thylakoid proteins, in particular light harvesting complex II (LHC II), is believed to play an important role in regulating photosynthetic electron transfer. Evidence supporting the involvement of multiple protein kinases in this system is mounting.

The PucC protein of Rhodobacter capsulatus mitigates an inhibitory effect of light-harvesting 2 α and β proteins on light-harvesting complex 1

Photosynthesis Research, 2007
Rhodobacter capsulatus contains lhaA and pucC genes that have been implicated in light-harvesting complex 1 and 2 (LH1 and LH2) assembly. The proteins encoded by these genes, and homologues in other photosynthetic organisms, have been classified as the bacteriochlorophyll delivery (BCD) family of the major facilitator superfamily.

Circadian Expression of the Light-Harvesting Complex Protein Genes in Plants

Chronobiology International, 1999
Photosynthesis is one of the important processes that enable life on earth. To optimize photosynthesis reactions during a solar day, most of them are timed to be active during the light phase. This includes the components of the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts. Prominent representatives are the proteins of the light-harvesting complex (LHC).
