additional information
-
PSII is highly sensitive to photoinhibiton in the psbL deletion mutant. The electron flow to plastoquinone in PSII is impaired in the psbJ deletion mutant
malfunction
Thermosynechococcus vestitus
-
in the purified photosystem II lacking the PsbJ subunit (DELTAPsbJ-PSII) an active Mn4CaO5 cluster is present in 60-70% of the centers. In these centers, although the forward electron transfer seems not affected, the Em of the secondary quinone acceptor QB/QB(-) couple increases by more than 120 mV , thus disfavoring the electron coming back on primary quinone acceptor QA. The increase of the energy gap between QA/QA(-) and QB/QB(-) could contribute in a protection against the charge recombination between the donor side and QB(-), identified at the origin of photoinhibition under low light, and possibly during the slow photoactivation process

there are two distinct signalling pathways activated by excess light absorbed by photosystem II: one, dependent on the redox state of the electron transport chain, is involved in the regulation of antenna size, and the second, more directly linked to the level of photoinhibitory stress perceived by the cell, participates in regulating carotenoid biosynthesis
physiological function
-
photosystem II is a light-driven water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase. It produces molecular oxygen as an enzymatic product. Under a variety of stress conditions, reactive oxygen species are produced at or near the active site for oxygen evolution
physiological function
Thermostichus vulcanus
-
photosystem II uses light to drive water oxidation and plastoquinone reduction. Plastoquinone reduction involves two PQ cofactors, QA and QB, working in series. QA is a one-electron carrier, whereas QB undergoes sequential reduction and protonation to form QBH2.QBH2 exchanges with plastoquinone from the pool in the membrane
physiological function
-
a darkadapted mutant lacking terminal oxidases with naturally reduced plastoquinone is characterized by slower QA-roxidation and O2 evolution rates and lower quantum yield of PSII primary photochemical reactions as compared to the wild type and succinate dehydrogenaselacking mutant, in which the plastoquinone pool remains oxidized in the dark. Light adaptation increases PSII primary photochemical reactions in all tested strains, with the greatest increase in in the mutant. Continuous illumination of mutant cells with low intensity blue light also increases PSII primary photochemical reactions and PSII functional absorption crosssection. This effect is almost absent in the wild type and succinate dehydrogenaselacking mutant
physiological function
-
cells grow increasingly faster at higher light intensities from low to high to extreme by escalating photoprotection via shifting from linear electron flow (PSII-LEF) to cyclic electron flow (PSII-CEF) with concomitant PSII charge separation from plastoquinone reduction (PSII-LEF) to plastoquinol oxidation (PSII-CEF). Low light-grown cells have unusually small antennae, use mainly PSII-LEF and convert 40% of PSII charge separations into O2. High light-grown cells have smaller antenna and lower PSII-LEF. Extreme light-grown cells have no LHCII antenna, minimal PSII-LEF, and a doubling time of 1.3 h
physiological function
Thermostichus vulcanus
-
molecular dynamics simulations of PSII embedded in the thylakoid membrane. In addition to the two known channels, a third channel for plastoquinone/plastoquinone diffusion is observed between the thylakoid membrane and the plastoquinone binding sites. In a promiscuous diffusion mechanism all three channels function as entry and exit channels. The exchange cavity serves as a plastoquinone reservoir
physiological function
-
redox heterogeneity of the native population of Cyt b559 is due to heme-quinone redox interactions. The interacting plastoquinone is caged in the protein interior in the singly protonated state. The model of redox interaction successfully explains the singularity of Cyt b559 among heme proteins, its redox heterogeneity, the atypically high Em value of the high potential form, the large difference in the Em values between the redox forms, and the instability of the heme protein towards mild treatments
physiological function
-
the cyclic electron transport (CET) around photosystem PS II is an alternative electron transport pathway. Under N limitation, the activity of the cyclic electron transport by PSII is increased and linearly correlated with the amount of alternative electron transport rates. Cyclic electron transport by PSII is activated already at the end of the dark period under N-limited conditions and coincides with a significantly increased degree of reduction of the plastoquinone pool. A carbon allocation in favor of carbohydrates occurs during the light period and their degradation during the dark phase
physiological function
-
the extent of reduction of the plastoquinone pool in the photosynthetic electron transport chain increases with an increase in illumination intensity during growth, the effective quantum yield of photosynthesis decreases. During the adaptation the size of the antenna decreases, correlating with a decrease in the amounts of proteins of peripheral pigment-protein complexes due to suppression of gene transcription. The quantum yield of photosynthesis is restored

mechanism of proton-coupled quinone reduction in photosystem II, overview. The initial proton transfer to QB.- occurs from the protonated, D1-His252 to QB.- via D1-Ser264. The second proton transfer is likely to occur from D1-His215 to QBH- via an H-bond with an energy profile with a single well, resulting in the formation of QBH2 and the D1-His215 anion. The pathway for reprotonation of D1-His215- may involve bicarbonate, D1-Tyr246 and water in the QB site. Potential-energy profiles of the H-bond donor-acceptor pairs, overview
