Abstract excerpt
State transitions balance excitation-energy distribution between Photosystem I and Photosystem II in higher plants. Stn7-mediated phosphorylation of the N-terminus of the light-harvesting complex II protein Lhcb2 plays a central role in photosynthetic state transitions. However, it remains unclear how the intrinsic charge of this region, independent of its phosphorylation status, influences state transitions and...
