Product Information
BSA-conjugated synthetic peptide derived from Arabidosis thaliana Lhcb5 protein UniProt: Q9XF89, TAIR: AT4G10340 sequence. This sequence is highly conserved in Lhcb5 proteins from monocots, dicots and conifers but only partial conserved in Physcomitrella patens and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
30 | 25-26 kDa for Arabidopsis thaliana
Reactivity
Dicots, Gymnosperms
Application examples
Application example
5 µg protein of (1) chloroplasts, (2) thylakoids, and (3) Photosystem I of Arabidopsis thaliana together with (4) BBY (Photosystem II) -particles from Pisum sativum were separated on 4-12% NuPage (Invitrogen) LDS-PAGE and blotted 1h to nitrocellulose. Filters were blocked 1h with 2% low-fat milk powder in TBS-T (0.1% TWEEN 20) and probed with anti-Lhcb5 (AS01 009, 1:1000, 1h) and secondary anti-rabbit (1:20 000, 1 h) antibody (HRP conjugated) in TBS-T containing 2% low fat milk powder. Antibody incubations were followed by washings in TBS-T (15, +5, +5, +5 min). All steps were performed at RT with agitation. Signal was detected with chemiluminescence detection reagent, using a Fuji LAS-3000 CCD (90s, standard sensitivity).
Additional information
Background
Lhcb5 is one of the 3 minor highly conserved chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins associated with Photosystem II in plants and algae. As a part of the inner light-harvesting antenna it has been sugested to regulate (together with Lhcb4 and Lhcb6) the energy flow from the outer LHCII antenna to the PSII reaction center.
