2b, immunoelectron microscopy detected LHCPs along the chloroplast envelope.
It should be noted, however, that several LHCPs accumulate in chloroplasts in the absence of Chl b [ 5 8 ] , perhaps because they integrate more easily into membranes, which implies that other features of the proteins are involved.
b [ 34 38 ] , may play a role in retention of LHCPs in the chloroplast.
This result, obtained with cells incubated at 25°C, was consistent with localization of LHCPs on envelope membranes in cells immediately after initiation of thylakoid biogenesis at 38°C [ 16 ] . At the higher temperature, not all the newly synthesized LHCPs were incorporated into envelope membranes, and the excess accumulated in cytosolic vacuoles [ 16 17 ] . This evidence for the envelope as the site of initial interaction of LHCPs with Chl was also supported by proliferation of envelope-derived vesicles in dark-grown Chlamydomonas cells exposed to only a few minutes of light [ 18 ] and the lack of thylakoids in a mutant of Arabidopsis deficient in a protein apparently required for formation of vesicles from the inner membrane of the envelope [ 19 ] .
The initial accumulation of LHCPs in the chloroplast envelope implies that Chl interacts with these proteins, likely by binding to the conserved motif in the first membrane-spanning region (helix-1) [ 25 26 ] when transit through the envelope is initiated.
