The properties of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of Photosystem II (LHCII) have been analyzed, in thylakoids and PS II membrane after phosphorylation. Using a newly developed fractionation method, by flat-bed electrofocusing in granulated gel, seven Chl a/b proteins have been separated from thylakoids. Their phosphorylation level and polypeptide composition have been evaluated. PhosphoLHCII represent only 30% of the total Chl a/b proteins in thylakoids and the ''mobile'' fraction binds 20% of the total LHCII chlorophyll. Tightly bound LHCII differs from the mobile fraction for the presence of a 26 kDa polypeptide characterized by the absence of the N-terminal LHCII proteolytic fragment which is phosphorylated during state transition.
