RESUMO
Photosystem I (PSI) holocomplexes were fractionated to study the organization of the light-harvesting complex I (LHC I) pigment-proteins in barley (Hordeum vulgare) plastids. LHC Ia and LHC Ib can be isolated as oligomeric, presumably trimeric, pigment-protein complexes. The LHC Ia oligomeric complex contains both the 24- and the 21.5-kD apoproteins encoded by the Lhca3 and Lhca2 genes and is slightly larger than the oligomeric LHC Ib complex containing the Lhca1 and Lhca4 gene products of 21 and 20 kD. The synthesis and assembly of LHC I during light-driven development of intermittent light-grown plants occurs rapidly upon exposure to continuous illumination. Complete PSI complexes are detected by nondenaturing Deriphat (disodium N-dodecyl-[beta]-iminodipropionate-160)-PAGE after 2 h of illumination, and their appearance correlates with that of the 730- to 740-nm emission characteristic of assembled LHC I. However, the majority of the newly synthesized LHC I apoproteins are present as monomeric complexes in the thylakoids during the early hours of greening. We propose that during development of the protochloroplast the LHC I apoproteins are first assembled into monomeric pigmented complexes that then aggregate into trimers before becoming attached to the pre-existing core complex to form a complete PSI holocomplex.
