| Significance of Photosystem II Core Phosphorylation Heterogeneity for the Herbicide-Binding Domain  | | | | Abstract
| In recent papers the heterogeneous nature o f photosystem (PS) II core phosphorylation has been revealed (Giardi et al., B B R C 176, 1 2 9 8 -1 3 0 5 (1991); Plant Physiol. 100, 1 9 4 8 -1 9 5 4 (1992)). In this paper the action o f endogenous and exogenous phosphatases both on the dis tribution of phosphorylated PS II core populations and on herbicide-binding activity in pho tosystem II preparations from Spinacia oleracea L. has been investigated. The results indicate that these phosphatases modify the photosystem II core phosphorylation heterogeneity at a different level. Dark incubation causes a partial dephosphorylation of D, and D 2 proteins by endogenous phosphatase(s) and changes the relative distribution o f phosphorylated photosys tem II core populations, while the action o f the alkaline phosphatase leads to extensive de-phosphorylation and to the detachment of PsbH protein from the photosystem II core. De phosphorylation by the two alternative methods results in a differential modification of herbi cide-binding activity. It is suggested that photosystem II heterogeneity with respect to the herbicide action, observed in vivo, could be a consequence o f PS II core phosphorylation heterogeneity. | | | |
