Crystal Structure of cyanobacterial Photosystem II
Structural highlights
Function[PSBL_THEEB] Required for PSII activity (By similarity). [PSBB_THEEB] One of the components of the core complex of photosystem II (PSII). It binds chlorophyll and helps catalyze the primary light-induced photochemical processes of PSII. PSII is a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating O(2) and a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01495][1] [2] [3] [YCF12_THEEB] A core subunit of photosystem II (PSII).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01329] [PSBA1_SYNEL] This is one of the two reaction center proteins of photosystem II (By similarity). [CY550_THEEB] Low-potential cytochrome c that plays a role in the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II. It is not essential for growth under normal conditions but is required under low CO(2) concentrations.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01378] [PSBF_THEEB] This b-type cytochrome is tightly associated with the reaction center of photosystem II and possibly is part of the water-oxidation complex (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00643] [PSBC_THEEB] One of the components of the core complex of photosystem II (PSII). It binds chlorophyll and helps catalyze the primary light-induced photochemical processes of PSII. PSII is a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating O(2) and a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01496][4] [5] [6] [PSBJ_THEEB] This protein is a component of the reaction center of photosystem II (By similarity). [PSBT_THEEB] Seems to play a role in the dimerization of PSII.[7] [PSBU_THEEB] Stabilizes the structure of photosystem II oxygen-evolving complex (OEC), the ion environment of oxygen evolution and protects the OEC against heat-induced inactivation (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00589] [PSBZ_THEEB] Controls the interaction of photosystem II (PSII) cores with the light-harvesting antenna. May also aid in binding of PsbK, Ycf12 and the oxygen-evolving complex to PSII, at least in vitro.[8] [PSBI_THEEB] This protein is a component of the reaction center of photosystem II.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01316] [PSBK_THEEB] This protein is a component of the reaction center of photosystem II.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00441] [PSBE_THEEB] This b-type cytochrome is tightly associated with the reaction center of photosystem II and possibly is part of the water-oxidation complex.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00642] Publication Abstract from PubMedPhotosystem II (PSII) is a large homodimeric protein-cofactor complex located in the photosynthetic thylakoid membrane that acts as light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase. The crystal structure of PSII from Thermosynechococcus elongatus at 2.9-A resolution allowed the unambiguous assignment of all 20 protein subunits and complete modeling of all 35 chlorophyll a molecules and 12 carotenoid molecules, 25 integral lipids and 1 chloride ion per monomer. The presence of a third plastoquinone Q(C) and a second plastoquinone-transfer channel, which were not observed before, suggests mechanisms for plastoquinol-plastoquinone exchange, and we calculated other possible water or dioxygen and proton channels. Putative oxygen positions obtained from a Xenon derivative indicate a role for lipids in oxygen diffusion to the cytoplasmic side of PSII. The chloride position suggests a role in proton-transfer reactions because it is bound through a putative water molecule to the Mn(4)Ca cluster at a distance of 6.5 A and is close to two possible proton channels.
