The evolution and evolvability of photosystem II [PDF]
Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2022 Photosystem II is the water-oxidizing and O2 -evolving enzyme of photosynthesis. How and when this remarkable enzyme arose are fundamental questions in the history of life that have remained difficult to answer. Here, recent advances in our understanding

The extrinsic proteins of Photosystem II [PDF]
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2012 In this review we examine the structure and function of the extrinsic proteins of Photosystem II. These proteins include PsbO, present in all oxygenic organisms, the PsbP and PsbQ proteins, which are found in higher plants and eukaryotic algae, and the ...

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

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

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

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 ...

The Arabidopsis Thylakoid Protein PAM68 Is Required for Efficient D1 Biogenesis and Photosystem II Assembly [PDF]
, 2010 Photosystem II (PSII) is a multiprotein complex that functions as a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase in photosynthesis. Assembly of PSII proceeds through a number of distinct intermediate states and requires auxiliary proteins.

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.

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.
