A stress-induced paralog of Lhcb4 controls the photosystem II functional architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana by Roberto Caferri, Qian Zhou, Luca Dall’Osto, Antonello Amelii, Jianyu Shan, Zhenfeng Liu, Roberto Bassi

“…Cryo-electron microscopy reveals that Lhcb8 has a shorter carboxy-terminal domain, lacks two chlorophylls, and interacts more tightly with the PSII core, inducing structural changes in the PSII antenna system, ultimately inhibiting the formation of PSII arrays and favouring plastoquinone diffusion. We suggest that dynamic Lhcb4 vs Lhcb8 expression allows for PSII acclimation to contrasting light conditions, offering the potential for engineering crops with improved light use efficiency.…”
