Assembly of plastid-encoded chlorophyll binding proteins of photosystem II (PSII) was studied in etiolated barley seedlings and isolated etioplasts and either the absence or presence of de novo chlorophyll synthesis. De novo assembly of reaction center complexes in etioplasts was characterized by immunological analysis of protein complexes solubilized from inner etioplast membranes and separated in sucrose density gradients. Previously characterized membrane protein complexes from chloroplasts were utilized as molecular mass standards for sucrose density gradient separation analysis. In etiolated seedlings, induction of chlorophyll a synthesis resulted in the accumulation of D1 in a dimeric PSII reaction center (RCII) complex. In isolated etioplasts, de novo chlorophyll a synthesis directed accumulation of D1 precursor in a monomeric RCII precomplex that also included D2 and cytochrome b559. Chlorophyll a synthesis that was chemically prolonged in darkness neither increased the yield of RCII monomers nor directed assembly of RCII dimers in etioplasts. We therefore conclude that in etioplasts, assembly of the D1 precursor in monomeric RCII precomplexes precedes chlorophyll a–triggered accumulation of reaction center monomers.
