GTP bound to chloroplast thylakoid membranes is requred for light-induced, multienzyme degradation of the photosystem II D1 protein

Even though light is the driving force in photosynthesis, it also can be harmful to plants. The water-splitting photosystem II is the main target for this light stress, leading to inactivation of photosynthetic electron transport and photooxidative damage to its reaction center.
