Localization of proteins involved in the biogenesis and repair of the photosynthetic apparatus to thylakoid subdomains in Arabidopsis.

ABSTRACT: Thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria harbor the multisubunit protein complexes that catalyze the light reactions of photosynthesis. In plant chloroplasts, the thylakoid membrane system comprises a highly organized network with several subcompartments that differ in composition and morphology: grana stacks, unstacked stromal lamellae, and grana margins at the interface between stacked and unstacked regions. The localization of components of the photosynthetic apparatus among these subcompartments has been well characterized. However, less is known about the localization of proteins involved in the biogenesis and repair of the photosynthetic apparatus, the partitioning of proteins between two recently resolved components of the traditional margin fraction (refined margins an
