The main light-harvesting chl a/b pigment-protein complex of photosystem II (LHCII) in isolated state forms macroaggregates with different ultrastructure and lipid content [L Simidjiev, V. Barzda, L. Mustardy, G. Garab, Anal. Biochem. 250 (1997) 169-175]. The thermodynamic stability of highly delipidated tightly bound LHCII macroaggregates is studied by differential scanning calorimetry and fluorescence spectroscopy. The calorimetric profile of LHCII is asymmetric, the denaturation transition is taking place at around 72 degreesC. A shoulder, which overlaps with the main denaturation transition, appears around 58 degreesC. The denaturation temperature strongly depends on the scanning rate indicating the kinetic nature of the thermal destabilization of LHCII macroaggregates. The fluorescence data prove that the thermal denaturation of LHCII is an irreversible and kinetically controlled process. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
