Photosynthetic membrane organization and role of state transition in cyt, cpII, stt7 and npq mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Blue native gel electrophoresis revealed the differential organization of photosynthetic membrane protein complexes in different mutants. Particularly, LHCII trimerization is more in cyt and stt7 mutants (Fig. A). Also, chemically induced state transition (LHCII phosphorylation) was not observed in stt7 and cyt mutant, however, all other mutants were similar to that of wild type (Fig. B).
