Trehalose matrix effects on electron transfer in Mn-depleted protein-pigment complexes of Photosystem II

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2021
The kinetics of flash-induced re-reduction of the Photosystem II (PS II) primary electron donor P680 was studied in solution and in trehalose glassy matrices at different relative humidity. In solution, and in the re-dissolved glass, kinetics were dominated by two fast components with lifetimes in the range of 2-7 μs, which accounted for >85% of the ...

Quantum Nanomedicine and Quantum Biomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In this perspective, we define quantum nanomedicine and quantum biomaterials as a paradigm that harnesses quantum effects in nanomedicine and biomaterials, including quantum superposition, quantum coherence, quantum tunneling, topological quantum effects, and spin polarization, to achieve either spatiotemporally precise modulation of physiological ...

The Photosystem II Oxygen-Evolving Complex Protein PsbP Interacts With the Coat Protein of Alfalfa mosaic virus and Inhibits Virus Replication

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2014
Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) coat protein (CP) is essential for many steps in virus replication from early infection to encapsidation. However, the identity and functional relevance of cellular factors that interact with CP remain unknown.

Role of plastid protein phosphatase TAP38 in LHCII dephosphorylation and thylakoid electron flow. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2010
Short-term changes in illumination elicit alterations in thylakoid protein phosphorylation and reorganization of the photosynthetic machinery. Phosphorylation of LHCII, the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II, facilitates its relocation to ...

Structural basis for an early stage of the photosystem II repair cycle in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

open access: yesNature Communications
Photosystem II (PSII) catalyzes water oxidation and plastoquinone reduction by utilizing light energy. It is highly susceptible to photodamage under high-light conditions and the damaged PSII needs to be restored through a process known as the PSII ...

Proteasome inhibition rapidly exacerbates photoinhibition and impedes recovery during high light stress in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background Proteasomes remove regulatory proteins in eukaryotic cells, and control a variety of plant processes. Proteasomes are localized to the cytosol and nuclear, but their role in plant biology has recently been extended to chloroplasts, where it ...

Photophysiological and photosynthetic complex changes during iron starvation in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942

open access: yes, 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.

Assembly of the Photosystem II Membrane-Protein Complex of Oxygenic Photosynthesis

open access: yes, 2017
Photosystem II is a 700-kDa membrane-protein super-complex responsible for the light-driven splitting of water in oxygenic photosynthesis. The photosystem is comprised of two 350-kDa complexes each made of 20 different polypeptides and over 80 co-factors.

Analysis of the chloroplast protein kinase Stt7 during state transitions.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2009
State transitions allow for the balancing of the light excitation energy between photosystem I and photosystem II and for optimal photosynthetic activity when photosynthetic organisms are subjected to changing light conditions.

Transcriptional analyses reveal the molecular mechanism governing shade tolerance in the invasive plant Solidago canadensis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Solidago canadensis is an invasive plant that is capable of adapting to variable light conditions. To elucidate the shade tolerance mechanism in S. canadensis at the molecular level, transcriptome analyses were performed for leaves growing under natural ...
