Supramolecular organization of thylakoid membrane proteins in green plants

Supramolecular organization of thylakoid membrane proteins in green plants

2005 | Dekker, Jan P.; Boekema, Egbert J.
The article by Dekker and Boekema (2005) provides a comprehensive review of the supramolecular organization of thylakoid membrane proteins in green plants, focusing on the structure and function of photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) complexes, as well as their peripheral antenna complexes. The authors discuss the structural features of these complexes, including their lipid composition and protein interactions, and how these factors influence the organization of the thylakoid membranes. They highlight the formation of supercomplexes, such as PSI–LHCII and PSII–LHCII, and the role of these complexes in the regulation of photosynthesis. The review also explores the mechanisms underlying the stacking of thylakoid membranes and the potential roles of supramolecular organization in various regulatory processes, such as state transitions and nonphotochemical quenching. The authors conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for understanding the regulation and efficiency of photosynthesis in green plants.The article by Dekker and Boekema (2005) provides a comprehensive review of the supramolecular organization of thylakoid membrane proteins in green plants, focusing on the structure and function of photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) complexes, as well as their peripheral antenna complexes.
