We studied a phosphate acceptor for casein kinase II (CK‐II) in chloroplasts, and found a 56 kDa protein (p56) as an acceptor, which was partially purified from the stroma of spinach chloroplasts. The N‐terminal amino acid sequence of p56 was identical with that of the β subunit of chloroplast ATP synthase (CF0CF1‐ATPase). In addition, the recombinant β subunit of CF1 was phosphorylated when the subunit was incubated with CK‐II. These results suggest that the β subunit of CF1 is a substrate protein of CK‐II in the chloroplast.
