Immunogen: AT3G54890 Q01667 
Synonyms: Lhca1, LHCA1, PHOTOSYSTEM I LIGHT HARVESTING COMPLEX GENE 1 Background:
The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor, it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems with which it is closely associated. The light-harvesting protein Lhca1 is one of the four main and highly conserved types of chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins (Lhca1-4) of the light harvesting antenna (LHCI) of plant photosystem I. Lhca1 is imported as a precursor from the cytosol into the chloroplast. Upon insertion into the thylakoid membrane Lhca1 forms a heterodimer (LHCI-730) with Lhca4 that associates with the PSI core close to PsaG and PsaF. -

Immunogen: AT5G04140 Q9ZNZ7 Synonyms: GLU1, FD-GOGAT, FERREDOXIN-DEPENDENT GLUTAMATE SYNTHASE, FERREDOXIN-DEPENDENT GLUTAMATE SYNTHASE 1, GLS1, GLUS, GLUTAMATE SYNTHASE 1 Background:
Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase 1 (also known as Glutamine oxoglutarate aminotransferase) is an enzyme and frequently abbreviated as GOGAT. This enzyme manufactures glutamate from glutamine and α-ketoglutarate, and thus along with glutamine synthetase (abbreviated GS) plays a central role in the regulation of nitrogen assimilation in photosynthetic eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This is of great importance as primary productivity in many marine environments is regulated by the availability of inorganic nitrogen.
GOGAT has two forms in plants: ferredoxin-dependent GOGAT (Fd-GOGAT) and NADH-dependent GOGAT (NADH-GOGAT). 95% of GOGAT found in plants is the Fd-GOGAT type. Fd-GOGAT is encoded by two genes, glu1 (AT5G04140) and glu2 (AT2G41220) found on chromosomes 5 and 2 respectively (in Arabidopsis). Fd-GOGAT (both forms) is highly conserved among plants, red algae, and cyanobacteria. -
