Abstract
Polypeptide D1 of the photosystem II reaction center of oxygenic photosynthesis is expressed in precursor form (pre-D1), and it must be proteolytically processed at its C terminus to enable assembly of the manganese cluster responsible for photosynthetic water oxidation. A rapid and highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based microtiter plate method is described for assaying this D1 C-terminal processing protease. A protocol is described for the isolation and purification to homogeneity of the enzyme from the green alga, Scenedesmus obliquus. Amino acid sequence information on the purified protease was used to clone the corresponding gene, the translated sequence of which is presented. A comparison of the gene product with homologous proteases points to a region of conserved residues that likely corresponds to the active site of a new class of serine protease. The LF-1 mutant strain of Scenedesmus (isolated by Dr. Norman Bishop) is incapable of processing pre-D1. We show here that the C-terminal processing protease gene in this strain contains a single base deletion that causes a frame shift and a premature stop of translation within the likely active site of the enzyme. A suppressor strain, LF-1-RVT-1, which is photoautotrophic and capable of processing pre-D1 has a nearby single base insertion that restores the expression of active enzyme. These observations provide the first definitive proof that the enzyme isolated is responsible for in vivo proteolytic processing of pre-D1 and that no other protease can compensate for its loss.

Abstract
The nuclear-encoded proteins of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II are bound on the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane and stabilize the manganese ion cluster forming the photosystem II electron donor side. The OEC proteins are released from their binding site(s) following light-induced degradation of reaction center II (RCII)-D1 protein in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The kinetics of OEC proteins release correlates with that of RCII-D1 protein degradation. Only a limited amount of RCII-D2 protein is degraded during the process, and no loss of the core proteins CP43 and CP47 is detected. The release of the OEC proteins is prevented when the photoinactivated RCII-D1 protein degradation is retarded by addition of 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea or by a high PQH2/PQ ratio prevailing in membranes of the plastocyanin-deficient mutant Ac208. The released proteins are not degraded but persist in the thylakoid lumen for up to 8 h and reassociate with photosystem II when new D1 protein is synthesized in cells exposed to low light, thus allowing recovery of photosystem II function. Reassociation also occurs following D1 protein synthesis in darkness when RCII activity is only partially recovered. These results indicate that (i) the D1 protein participates in the formation of the lumenal OEC proteins binding site(s) and (ii) the photoinactivation of RCII-D1 protein does not alter the conformation of the donor side of photosystem II required for the binding of the OEC proteins.

Abstract
Photosystem II catalyzes the photooxidation of water to molecular oxygen, providing electrons to the photosynthetic electron transfer chain. The D1 and D2 chloroplast-encoded reaction center polypeptides bind cofactors essential for Photosystem II function. Transformation of the chloroplast genome of the eukaryotic green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has allowed us to engineer site-directed mutants in which aspartate residue 170 of D1 is replaced by histidine (D170H), asparagine (D170N), threonine (D170T), or proline (D170P). Mutants D170T and D170P are completely deficient in oxygen evolution, but retain normal (D170T) or 50% (D170P) levels of Photosystem II reaction centers. D170H and D170N accumulate wild-type levels of PSII centers, yet evolve oxygen at rates approximately 45% and 15% those of control cells, respectively. Kinetic analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence in the mutants reveals a specific defect in electron donation to the reaction center. Measurements of oxygen flash yields in D170H show, however, that those reaction centers capable of evolving oxygen function normally. We conclude that aspartate residue 170 of the D1 polypeptide plays a critical role in the initial binding of manganese as the functional chloroplast oxygen-evolving complex is assembled.

Abstract
The diphenylcarbazide(DPC)/Mn2+ assay [Hsu, B.-D., Lee, J.-Y., & Pan, R.-L. (1987) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 890, 89-96] was used to assess the amount of the high-affinity Mn-binding site in manganese-depleted photosystem II (PS II) membrane fragments from spinach and Scenedesmus obliquus. The assay mechanism at high DPC concentration was shown to involve noncompetitive inhibition of only half of the control level of DPC donation to PS II by micromolar concentrations of Mn at pH 6.5 (i.e., one of two DPC donation sites is inhibited). At low DPC concentration both DPC and Mn2+ donate to PS II additively. Treatment with the carboxyl amino acid modifier 1-ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]carbodiimide (EDC) inhibited half of the high-affinity Mn-binding site in spinach and Scenedesmus WT PS II membranes and all of the available site in Scenedesmus LF-1 mutant PS II membranes. A similar EDC concentration dependence was observed in all cases. Addition of 2 mM MnCl2 to the 10 mM EDC modification buffer provided complete protection for the Mn-binding site from modification. This protection was specific for Mn2+; six other divalent cations were ineffective. We conclude that EDC modifies that half of the high-affinity Mn-binding site that is insensitive to the histidine modifier diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) [Seibert, M., Tamura, N., & Inoue, Y. (1989) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 974, 185-191] and directly affects ligands that bind Mn. The effects of EDC and DEPC that influence the high-affinity site are mutually exclusive and are specific to the lumenal side of the PS II membrane. Removal of the two more loosely bound of the four functional Mn from PS II membranes uncovers that part of the high-affinity site associated with carboxyl but not histidyl residues. We suggest that carboxyl residues on reaction center proteins are associated with half of the high-affinity Mn-binding site in PS II and are involved along with histidine residues in binding Mn functional in the O2-evolving process.

Abstract
Selective extraction-reconstitution experiments with the extrinsic Photosystem II polypeptides (33 kDa, 23 kDa and 17 kDa) have demonstrated that the manganese complex and the 33 kDa polypeptide are both necessary structural elements for the tight binding of the water soluble 17 and 23 kDa species. When the manganese complex is intact the 33 kDa protein interacts strongly with the rest of the photosynthetic complex. Destruction of the Mn-complex has two dramatic effects: i) The binding of the 33 kDa polypeptide is weaker, since it can be removed by exposure of the PS II system to 2 M NaCl, and ii) the 17 and 23 kDa species do not rebind to Mn-depleted Photosystem II membranes that retain the 33 kDa protein.

Abstract
To probe the involvement of amino acid residues of the D2 protein in the water-splitting process in photosystem II, site-directed mutagenesis was applied to identify D2 residues that might contribute to binding the Mn cluster involved in oxygen evolution. Mutation of Glu-69 to Gln or Val in D2 of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was found to lead to a loss of photoautotrophic growth. However, in cells of the Gln mutant (E69Q) a significant Hill reaction rate could be observed upon the start of illumination, but the oxygen evolution rate declined with a half-time of approximately 1 min. Addition of 1 mM Mn2+ stabilized oxygen evolution in E69Q thylakoids. Other divalent cations were ineffective in specific stabilization. When the water-splitting system was bypassed, the rate of electron transport remained stable during illumination, indicating that the inactivation of oxygen evolution is localized in the water-splitting complex. We interpret these observations to indicate that Glu-69 is a Mn ligand and that the loss of oxygen evolution in the E69Q mutant upon turnover of PS II is initiated by changes in the Mn cluster, possibly leading to Mn release from the water-splitting complex. The addition of exogenous Mn to E69Q thylakoids may help to keep the Mn cluster active for a longer time, perhaps by providing Mn to rebind in the cluster after release of one Mn and before the Mn cluster had disintegrated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The oxygen evolving complex of photosystem II (PS II) contains three extrinsic polypeptides of approximate molecular weights 16, 23 and 33 kDa. These polypeptides are associated with the roles of Cl(-), Ca(2+) and Mn(2+) in oxygen evolution. We have shown that selective removal of 16 and 23 kDa polypeptides from the above complex by NaCl washing of PS II enriched membrane fragments renders the PS II core complex more susceptible to the herbicide atrazine. On the other hand, when both native and depleted preparations were resupplied with exogenous Ca(2+) and Cl(-), we obtained a reduction of atrazine inhibition which was much stronger in the depleted preparations than in the native ones. It is concluded that removal of 16 and 23 kDa polypeptides in general, and disorganization of associated Ca(2+) and Cl(-) in particular, enhances atrazine penetration to its sites of action in the vicinity of the PS II complex. The above could be interpreted if we assume a reduced plastoquinone affinity at the QB (secondary plastoquinone electron acceptor) pocket of D1 polypeptide following transmembranous modifications caused by the depletion of these polypeptides.

Abstract
In the last few years our knowledge of the structure and function of Photosystem II in oxygen-evolving organisms has increased significantly. The biochemical isolation and characterization of essential protein components and the comparative analysis from purple photosynthetic bacteria (Deisenhofer, Epp, Miki, Huber and Michel (1984) J Mol Biol 180: 385-398) have led to a more concise picture of Photosystem II organization. Thus, it is now generally accepted that the so-called D1 and D2 intrinsic proteins bind the primary reactants and the reducing-side components. Simultaneously, the nature and reaction kinetics of the major electron transfer components have been further clarified. For example, the radicals giving rise to the different forms of EPR Signal II have recently been assigned to oxidized tyrosine residues on the D1 and D2 proteins, while the so-called Q400 component has been assigned to the ferric form of the acceptor-side iron. The primary charge-separation has been meaured to take place in about 3 ps. However, despite all recent major efforts, the location of the manganese ions and the water-oxidation mechanism still remain largely unknown. Other topics which lately have received much attention include the organization of Photosystem II in the thylakoid membrane and the role of lipids and ionic cofactors like bicarbonate, calcium and chloride. This article attempts to give an overall update in this rapidly expanding field.

Abstract
Chloride plays a key role in activating the photosynethetic oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of Photosystem II, but the OEC is only one of many enzymes affected by this anion. Some of the mechanistic features of Cl(-) involvement in water-splitting resemble those of other proteins whose structure and chemistry are known in detail. An overview of the similarities and differences between these Cl(-)-binding systems is presented.

Abstract
The O2-evolution deficient mutant (LF-1) of Scenedesmus obliquus inserts an unprocessed D1 protein into the thylakoid membrane and binds less than half the wild type (WT) level of Mn. LF-1 photosystem II (PS II) membrane fragments lack that part of the high-affinity Mn(2+)-binding site found in WT membranes which may be associated with histidine residues on the D1 protein (Seibert et al. 1989 Biochim Biophys Acta 974: 185-191). Hsu et al. (1987 Biochim Biophys Acta 890: 89-96) purport that the high-affinity site (characterized by competitive inhibition of DPC-supported DCIP photoreduction by μM concentrations of Mn(2+)) in Mn-extracted PS II membranes is also the binding site for Mn functional in O2 evolution. Proteases (papain, subtilisin, and carboxypeptidase A) can be used to regenerate the high-affinity Mn(2+)-binding site in LF-1 PS II membranes but not in thylakoids. Experiments with the histidine modifier, DEPC, suggest that the regenerated high-affinity Mn(2+)-binding sites produced by either subtilisin or carboxypeptidase A treatments were the same sites observed in WT membranes. However, none of the protease treatments produced LF-1 PS II membranes that could be photoactivated. Reassessment of the processing studies of Taylor et al. (1988 FEBS Lett 237: 229-233) lead us to believe that their procedure also does not result in substantial photoactivation of LF-1 PS II membranes. We conclude that (1) the unprocessed carboxyl end of the D1 protein in LF-1 is located on the lumenal side of the PS II membrane, (2) the unprocessed fragment physically obstructs or perturbs that part of the high-affinity Mn(2+)-binding site undetectable in LF-1, and (3) the D1 protein must be processed at the time of insertion into the membrane for normal O2-evolution function to result.

It was observed that: (1) thylakoids from mutants without a functional gene encoding CP47 are also depleted in D1 and D2; (2) inactivation of the gene for CP43 leads to decreased but significant levels of CP47, D1 and D2; (3) deletion of part of both genes encoding D2, together with deletion of part of the CP43-encoding gene causes a complete loss of CP47 and D1; (4) thylakoids from a site-directed mutant in which the His-214 residue of D2 has been replaced by asparagine do not contain detectable photosystem II core proteins. However, in another site-directed mutant, in which His-197 has been replaced by tyrosine, some CP47 as well as breakdown products of CP43, but no D1 and D2, can be detected. These data could indicate a central function of CP47 and D2 in stable assembly of the photosystem II complex. CP43, however, is somewhat less critical for formation of the core complex, although CP43 is required for a physiologically functional photosystem II unit. A possible model for the assembly of the photosystem II core complex is proposed.

Abstract
DCMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) at concentrations higher than 10 μM suppresses the second time range delayed fluorescence (DF) of pea chloroplasts, due to inhibition of the oxidizing side of photosystem II (PS II). The inhibition of the reducing side of PS II resulting in the suppression of millisecond DF takes place at much lower (∼0.01 μM) DCMU concentrations. The variation in the herbicide-affinities of the reducing and oxidizing sides of PS II is not the same for DCMU and phenol-type herbicides. The DCMU-affinity of the oxidizing side considerably increases and approximates that of the reducing side upon mild treatment of chloroplasts with oleic acid. Probably this is a result of some changes in the environment of the binding site at the oxidizing side. At DCMU concentrations higher than 1 mM, the chaotropic action of DCMU leads to the generation of millisecond luminescence which is not related to the functioning of the reaction centres.
