A rapid repair cycle replaces the photodamaged core subunits in plants, but how the large antenna-core supercomplex structures of plant photosystem II disassemble for repair is not currently understood. Here, we report the specific involvement of phosphorylation in removal of the peripheral antenna from the core and monomerization of the dimeric cores.
