Abstract

The photosystem II reaction center D1 protein is known to turn over frequently. This protein is prone to irreversible damage caused by reactive oxygen species that are formed in the light; the damaged, nonfunctional D1 protein is degraded and replaced by a new copy. However, the proteases responsible for D1 protein degradation remain unknown. In this study, we investigate the possible role of the FtsH protease, an ATP-dependent zinc metalloprotease, during this process. The primary light-induced cleavage product of the D1 protein, a 23-kD fragment, was found to be degraded in isolated thylakoids in the dark during a process dependent on ATP hydrolysis and divalent metal ions, suggesting the involvement of FtsH. Purified FtsH degraded the 23-kD D1 fragment present in isolated photosystem II core complexes, as well as that in thylakoid membranes depleted of endogenous FtsH. In this study, we definitively identify the chloroplast protease acting on the D1 protein during its light-induced turnover. Unlike previously identified membrane-bound substrates for FtsH in bacteria and mitochondria, the 23-kD D1 fragment represents a novel class of FtsH substrate-functionally assembled proteins that have undergone irreversible photooxidative damage and cleavage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
