Degradation of the light-harvesting complex (LHC II) of Photosystem II, the most abundant membrane protein on Earth, is highly regulated under various environmental conditions, such as light stress, to prevent photochemical damage to the reaction center. FtsH6 is considered to be a universal LHC II protease, and LHC II proteolysis dependent on FtsH6 may be a feature of all higher plants.
