Protein is processed into mature form (Jansson 1999).
The light harvesting protein Lhca4 is one of the four major and highly conserved chlorophyll a/b binding proteins (Lhca1-4) of the light harvesting antenna (LHCI) of plant light system i. Lhca4 enters the chloroplast from the cytoplasm as a precursor. After insertion into the thylakoid membrane, Lhca4 forms a heterodimer with Lhca1 (LHCI-730), which binds to the PSI core near PsaG and PsaF. Biochemical characteristics of plant LHCI antennas can be found in Klimmek et al. (2005). Structure of light harvesting complexes in higher plants I: In vivo properties and structural interdependence of Lhca proteins. Biochemistry 44:3065-3073.
