LHCII, one of the membrane-bound antenna pigment proteins, which can be phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated by a specific kinase present in thylakoid membrane. Which of the following statements are NOT TRUE ?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. A protein kinase that can phosphorylate a specific threonine residue on the surface of LHCII
  2. When LHCII is  phosphorylated, it delivers more energy to PSI while LHCII is not phosphorylated, it delivers more energy to PSII
  3. The kinase is activated when plastoquinone, one of the electron carriers between PSI and PSII, accumulates in the reduced state
  4. Reduced plastoquinone accumulates when PSI is being activated more frequently than PSII
