Photophysiological and photosynthetic complex changes during iron starvation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Iron is an essential component in many protein complexes involved in photosynthesis, but environmental iron availability is often low as oxidized forms of iron are insoluble in water.

Photosystem II assembly from scratch [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Construction of a functional Photosystem II (PSII) in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts depends on the action of auxiliary factors, which transiently interact with PSII intermediates during assembly. In addition to a common PSII structure and a conserved set of PSII assembly factors, cyanobacteria, and higher plants have evolved additional, clade-specific

Advances in the Understanding of the Lifecycle of Photosystem II
Microorganisms, 2022 Photosystem II is a light-driven water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase present in cyanobacteria, algae and plants. It produces molecular oxygen and protons to drive ATP synthesis, fueling life on Earth.

Photoinactivation of Photosystem II in Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The marine picocyanobacteria Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus numerically dominate open ocean phytoplankton. Although evolutionarily related they are ecologically distinct, with different strategies to harvest, manage and exploit light.

Quality control of photosystem II: lipid peroxidation accelerates photoinhibition under excessive illumination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Environmental stresses lower the efficiency of photosynthesis and sometimes cause irreversible damage to plant functions. When spinach thylakoids and Photosystem II membranes were illuminated with excessive visible light (100-1,000 µmol photons m(-1) s ...

Photosystem II: evolutionary perspectives [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Based on the current model of its structure and function, photosystem II (PSII) seems to have evolved from an ancestor that was homodimeric in terms of its protein core and contained a special pair of chlorophylls as the photo–oxidizable cofactor.
