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

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.

A Hard Day's Night: Diatoms continue recycling Photosystem II in the dark
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016 Marine diatoms are photosynthetic, and thrive in environments where light fluctuates. Like all oxygenic photosynthetic organisms diatoms face a light-dependent inactivation of the Photosystem II complexes that photooxidize water to generate biosynthetic

Impact of energy limitations on function and resilience in long-wavelength Photosystem II
eLife, 2022 Photosystem II (PSII) uses the energy from red light to split water and reduce quinone, an energy-demanding process based on chlorophyll a (Chl-a) photochemistry. Two types of cyanobacterial PSII can use chlorophyll d (Chl-d) and chlorophyll f (Chl-f) to

Identification and roles of Photosystem II assembly, stability, and repair factors in Arabidopsis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Photosystem II (PSII) is a multi-component pigment-protein complex that is responsible for water splitting, oxygen evolution, and plastoquinone reduction.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Chloramphenicol is an inhibitor of protein synthesis, which is frequently used to decouple photodamage and protein synthesis dependent repair of Photosystem II during the process of photoinhibition.

Light variability illuminates niche-partitioning among marine Picocyanobacteria. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus picocyanobacteria are dominant contributors to marine primary production over large areas of the ocean. Phytoplankton cells are entrained in the water column and are thus often exposed to rapid changes in irradiance ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 When oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are exposed to excessive light and/or heat, Photosystem II is damaged and electron transport is blocked. In these events, reactive oxygen species, endogenous radicals and lipid peroxidation products generated by ...

Proton-mediated photoprotection mechanism in photosystem II
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Photo-induced charge separation, which is terminated by electron transfer from the primary quinone QA to the secondary quinone QB, provides the driving force for O2 evolution in photosystem II (PSII).
