Reconstructing the origin of oxygenic photosynthesis: do assembly and photoactivation recapitulate evolution?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Due to the great abundance of genomes and protein structures that today span a broad diversity of organisms, now more than ever before, it is possible to reconstruct the molecular evolution of protein complexes at an incredible level of detail.

The Ability of Cyanobacterial Cells to Restore UV-B Radiation Induced Damage to Photosystem II is Influenced by Photolyase Dependent DNA Repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Damage of DNA and Photosystem-II are among the most significant effects of UV-B irradiation in photosynthetic organisms. Both damaged DNA and Photosystem-II can be repaired, which represent important defense mechanisms against detrimental UV-B effects ...

Photosystem I: a search for green plant trimers [PDF]

open access: yesPhotochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2005
Recent blue-native gel electrophoresis studies gave evidence for the existence of dimeric and trimeric PSI complexes in green plants. We used single particle electron microscopy to investigate all the larger particles from the thylakoid membrane of pea (Pisum sativum var. Charmette).

Blue light is more essential than red light for maintaining the activities of photosystem II and I and photosynthetic electron transport capacity in cucumber leaves

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Blue and red lights differently regulate leaf photosynthesis. Previous studies indicated that plants under blue light generally exhibit better photosynthetic characteristics than those under red light.

Covalently Binding the Photosystem I to Carbon Nanotubes

open access: yes, 2009
We present a chemical route to covalently couple the photosystem I (PS I) to carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Small linker molecules are used to connect the PS I to the CNTs.

Wheat truncated hemoglobin interacts with photosystem I PSK-I subunit and photosystem II subunit PsbS1

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2013
Recently, the truncated hemoglobin gene (trHb) was discovered in plant species, however, its role has not yet been determined. In this study, the gene expression of wheat trHb (TatrHb) was analyzed under various biotic and abiotic stresses.

S = 3 Ground State for a Tetranuclear Mn^(IV)₄O₄ Complex Mimicking the S₃ State of the Oxygen Evolving Complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The S₃ state is currently the last observable intermediate prior to O–O bond formation at the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II, and its electronic structure has been assigned to a homovalent Mn^(IV)₄ core with an S = 3 ground state.

DnaK3 Is Involved in Biogenesis and/or Maintenance of Thylakoid Membrane Protein Complexes in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesLife, 2020
DnaK3, a highly conserved cyanobacterial chaperone of the Hsp70 family, binds to cyanobacterial thylakoid membranes, and an involvement of DnaK3 in the biogenesis of thylakoid membranes has been suggested. As shown here, light triggers synthesis of DnaK3

Carbon Contacts to Proteins Enable Robust, Biocompatible Electronic Junctions with Near‐Activation‐less Conduction Down to 10 K

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A robust solid‐state protein junction with a semi‐transparent eC/Au electrode allows photoexcitation of the bacterio‐rhodopsin, bR layer, to isomerize the bR retinal. The resulting photo‐response shows the protein is functional in the solid‐state junction.

Early Archean origin of heterodimeric Photosystem I

open access: yesHeliyon, 2018
When and how oxygenic photosynthesis originated remains controversial. Wide uncertainties exist for the earliest detection of biogenic oxygen in the geochemical record or the origin of water oxidation in ancestral lineages of the phylum Cyanobacteria.
