RESUMO
The phosphorylation of thylakoid proteins of rice (Oryza sativa L.) was studied in vitro using [γ-32P]ATP. Several thylakoid proteins are labeled, including the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II. Protein phosphorylation is sensitive to temperature, pH, and ADP, ATP, and divalent cation concentrations. In the range pH 7 to 8.2, phosphorylation of the light-harvesting polypeptides declines above pH 7.5, whereas labeling of several other thylakoid polypeptides increases. Increasing divalent cation concentration from 3 to 20 millimolar results in a decrease in phosphorylation of the 26 kilodalton light-harvesting complex polypeptide and increased phosphorylation of several other polypeptides. ADP has an inhibitory effect on the phosphorylation of the light-harvesting complex polypeptides. Phosphorylation of the 26 kilodalton light-harvesting polypeptide requires 0.45 millimolar ATP for half-maximal phosphorylation, compared to 0.3 millimolar for the 32 kilodalton phosphoprotein. Low temperature inhibits the phosphorylation of thylakoid proteins in chilling-sensitive rice. However, phosphorylation of histones by thylakoid-bound kinase(s) is independent of temperature in the range of 25 to 5°C, suggesting that the effect of low temperature is on accessibility of the substrate, rather than on the activity of the kinase.
