Immunogen: AT5G42270 Q9FH02 Synonyms: FTSH5, VAR1, VARIEGATED 1 Background:
FtsH is an essential ATP-dependent metalloprotease for protein quality control in the thylakoid membrane of Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts. It is required for chloroplast development during leaf growth, and particularly for the specific degradation of photo-damaged D1 protein in the photosystem II (PSII) complex to maintain photosynthesis activity. In the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, 12 genes encoding members of the FtsH family have been identified. Nine of these proteins (FtsH1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12) are located in the chloroplast. FtsH1 and FtsH5 are interchangeable in thylakoid membranes. -

Immunogen: AT3G15840 Q9LVZ5 Synonyms: PIFI, POST-ILLUMINATION CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE INCREASE Background:
PIFI is a chloroplast-targeted protein localized in the stroma that is a novel component essential for NDH-mediated non-photochemical reduction of the plastoquinone pool in chlororespiratory electron transport. -

Immunogen: AT3G08940 Q9XF88 Synonyms: Lhcb4, Chlorophyll a-b binding protein CP29 Background:
The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor; it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems. Lhcb4 (CP29) is one of the 3 minor chlrorophyll a/b-binding proteins associated with PSII in plants and algae. CP29 facilitates the State 1 to State 2 transition, where State I is induced by excess photosystem I (PSI) light and State 2 is induced by excess photosystem II (PSII) light.
