Light Harvesting Complex II Resists Non-Bilayer Lipid-Induced Polymorphism in Plant Thylakoid Membranes via Lipid Redistribution

Avinash Garg,
Ananya Debnath

Abstract: The plant thylakoid membrane hosting the light-harvesting complex (LHCII) is the site of oxygenic photosynthesis. Contrary to the earlier consensus of a protein-driven single lamellar phase of the thylakoid despite containing 40% non-bilayer-forming lipids, recent experiments confirm the polymorphic state of the functional thylakoid. What, then, is the origin of this polymorphism, and what factors control it? The current Letter addresses the question using a total of 617.8 us long coarse-grained simulations of… Show more
