Polypeptide patterns of PSI-LHCII supercomplexes separated from mesophyll thylakoids of lincomycin treated maize. a BN/SDS gel pattern of thylakoids. Points refer to PSII supercomplexes. Thylakoids (500 µg Chl mL⁻¹) were solubilised using 1% (w/V) β-DM plus 1% (w/V) digitonin, and complexes were separated in 4.3–8% gel gradients followed by SDS PAGE. PSI-LHCII*: large PSI-LHCII band. b Comparison of the polypeptide profiles of PSI and PSI-LHCII supercomplexes normalised to PSI core 1–3 (see in a. Variations in the amounts of polypeptides in the different complexes were compared using two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test [P < 0.05; n = 2 × 3 (biological × technical)]. Significant differences are indicated separately in each polypeptide/LHCII-t group by different letters
