Abstract
Manganese-stabilizing protein (MSP) represents a key component of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC). Transgenic potato plants with both enhanced (sense) and reduced (anti-sense) MSP expression levels were generated to investigate the possible physiological role of MSP in overall plant growth, particularly in tuber development. MSP antisense plants exhibited both higher tuberization frequency and higher tuber yield with increased total soluble carbohydrates. The photosynthetic efficiencies of the plants were examined using the OJIP kinetics; MSP-antisense plants were photosynthetically more active than the MSP-sense and UT (untransformed) control plants. The oxygen measurements indicated that the relative oxygen evolution was directly proportional to the MSP expression, as MSP-antisense plants showed much lower oxygen evolution compared to MSP-sense as well as UT plants. MSP-sense plants behaved like the UT plants with respect to morphology, tuber yield, and photosynthetic performance. Chlorophyll a fluorescence analyses indicate a possible lack of intact Oxygen Evolving Complexes (OECs) in MSP antisense plants, which allow access to internal non-water electron donors (e.g., ascorbate and proline) and consequently increase the Photosystem II (PSII) activity of those plants. These findings further indicate that this altered photosynthetic machinery may be associated with early tuberization and increased tuberization frequency.

Abstract
In the filamentous cyanobacterium Oscillatoria chalybea photolysis of water does not take place in the complete absence of oxygen. A catalytic oxygen partial pressure of 15x10(-6) Torr has to be present for effective water splitting to occur. By means of mass spectrometry we measured the photosynthetic oxygen evolution in the presence of H(2)(18)O in dependence on the oxygen partial pressure of the atmosphere and analysed the liberations of (16)O(2), (16)O(18)O and (18)O(2) simultaneously. The observed dependences of the light-induced oxygen evolution on bound oxygen yield sigmoidal curves. Hill coefficient values of 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, suggest that the binding is cooperative and that four molecules of oxygen have to be bound per chain to the oxygen evolving complex. Oxygen seems to prime the water-splitting reaction by redox steering of the S-state system, putting it in the dark into the condition from which water splitting can start. It appears that in O. chalybea an interaction of oxygen with S(0) and S(1) leads to S(2) and S(3), thus yielding the typical oxygen evolution pattern in which even after extensive dark adaptation substantial amounts of Y(1) and Y(2) are found. The interacting oxygen is apparently reduced to hydrogen peroxide. Mass spectrometry permits to distinguish this highly specific oxygen requirement from the interaction of bulk atmospheric oxygen with the oxygen evolving complex of the cyanobacterium. This interaction leads to the formation H(2)O(2) which is decomposed under O(2) evolution in the light. The dependence on oxygen-partial pressure and temperature is analysed. Structural peculiarities of the cyanobacterial reaction centre of photosystem II referring to the extrinsic peptides might play a role.

Abstract
The previously constructed MSP (manganese stabilizing protein-psbO gene product)-free mutant of Synechococcus PCC7942 (Bockholt R, Masepohl B and Pistorius E K (1991) FEBS Lett 294: 59-63) and a newly constructed MSP-free mutant of Synechocystis PCC6803 were investigated with respect to the inactivation of the water-oxidizing enzyme during dark incubation. O2 evolution in the MSP-free mutant cells, when measured with a sequence of short saturating light flashes, was practically zero after an extended dark adaptation, while O2 evolution in the corresponding wild type cells remained nearly constant. It could be shown that this inactivation could be reversed by photoactivation. With isolated thylakoid membranes from the MSP-free mutant of PCC7942, it could be demonstrated that photoactivation required illumination in the presence of Mn(2+) and Ca(2+), while Cl(-) addition was not required under our experimental conditions. Moreover, an extended analysis of the kinetic properties of the water-oxidizing enzyme (kinetics of the S3→(S4)→S0 transition, S-state distribution, deactivation kinetics) in wild type and mutant cells of Synechococcus PCC7942 and Synechocystis PCC6803 was performed, and the events possibly leading to the reversible inactivation of the water-oxidizing enzyme in the mutant cells are discussed. We could also show that the water-oxidizing enzyme in the MSP-free mutant cells is more sensitive to inhibition by added NH4Cl-suggesting that NH3 might be a physiological inhibitor of the water oxidizing enzyme in the absence of MSP.

Abstract
This communication introduces a new spectrophotometric assay for the detection of peroxide generated by Photosystem II (PS II) under steady state illumination in the presence of an electron acceptor. The assay is based on the formation of an indamine dye in a horseradish peroxidase coupled reaction between 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid and 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone. Using this assay, we found that as the O2 evolution activity of PS II-enriched membrane fragments is decreased by treatments which cause the dissociation of the 33 and/or 23 and 16 kDa extrinsic proteins (i.e., CaCl2-washing, NaCl-washing, lauroylcholine-treatment and ethylene glycol-treatment), light-induced peroxide formation increases. Both the losses of O2 evolution and increases in peroxide formation seen under these conditions are reversed by CaCl2 addition, indicating that the two activities originate from the water-splitting site. However, the increased rates of peroxide formation do not quantitatively match the losses in O2 evolution activity. We suggest that a rapid consumption of the peroxide takes place via a catalase/peroxidase activity at the water-splitting site which competes with both the O2 evolution and peroxide formation reactions. The observed peroxide formation is interpreted as arising from enhanced water accessibility to the catalytic site upon perturbation of the extrinsic proteins which then leads to alternate water oxidation side reactions.

Abstract
Flash-induced amperometric signals were measured with a Joliot-type O2 rate electrode in spinach Photosystem II (PS II) membrane fragments exposed to very low concentrations of added hydroxylamine or hydrogen peroxide. In both cases 'anomalous O2 signals' were observed on the first two flashes, and oscillating four-flash patterns were observed on subsequent flashes. The anomalous signals were eliminated in the presence of catalase but not EDTA. The rise times of the O2-release kinetics associated with the anomalous signals were slow (ca. 20 ms with NH2OH and ca. 120 ms with H2O2) compared to the kinetics of O2 release on subsequent flashes and in control membranes (3-6 ms). It is proposed that when the intact PS II O2-evolving complex is perturbed with small concentrations of added reductant, H2O2 can gain access and bind to the complex. Bound H2O2 can then reduce lower S states in some centers leading to anomalous O2 signals on the first two flashes. A model is presented to explain both types of anomalous O2 production. Oxygen observed on the third and subsequent flashes is due to the normal photosynthetic O2-evolution process arising from the S3-state. Anomalous O2 production could be a protective mechanism in PS II centers subjected to stress conditions.

Abstract
Illumination of PSII core preparations can cause the production of H2O2 at rates which approach 60 mumol of H2O2 (mg of Chl.h)-1. The rate of peroxide production is maximal at pH 7.2 at low sucrose concentrations and at concentrations of Cl- (1.5-3.0 mM) that limit the rate of the oxidation of water to O2. The rate of H2O2 production increased with pH from pH 6.8 to 7.2 and was inversely proportional to the oxidation of water to O2 from pH 6.8 to 7.5. While EDTA does not inhibit H2O2 production, this reaction is abolished by 5 mM NH2OH and inhibited by the same concentrations of NH3 that affect water oxidation which indicates that the oxygen-evolving complex is responsible for the production of peroxide generated upon illumination of PSII core preparations. These results support a mechanism in which bound Cl- in the S2 state is displaced by OH- ions which are then oxidized by the OEC to form H2O2. Thus, the OEC requires Cl- to prevent access to the active site of the OEC until four oxidizing equivalents can be generated to allow the oxidation of water to O2.

Abstract
Several strains of Synechococcus PCC7942 carrying point mutations in the gene psbA were studied by thermoluminescence and polarographic measurement of flash-induced oxygen yield. The following results were obtained: (a) Replacement of Ser-264 in D1 by Ala (mutant Di1) or Gly (mutant G264) resulting in DCMU and atrazine resistance leads to a downshift of the thermoluminescence (TL) B-band peak temperature from 40 degrees C in wild-type thylakoids to about 30 degrees C. In dark adapted samples of both mutants the TL and oxygen yield pattern induced by a train of single turnover flashes were strongly damped indicative of a high miss factor. (b) In contrast to Ser-264 mutants, replacement of Phe-255 in D1 by Tyr (mutant Tyr5) induced strong resistance to atrazine but not to DCMU and did not affect the peak termperature of the B-band and the flash-induced TL and oxygen yield patterns. In this respect mutant Tyr5 resembles the wild type. (c) No significant differences have been found between strains with single site mutations in psbAI and normal psbAII/psbAIII genes, and strains with same mutations in psbAI but additional deletion of psbAII and psbAIII. Obviously in strains were psbAI is present, PS II complexes containing gene products of psbAII and psbAIII are not assembled in detectable amounts. (d) Strains with double mutations at positions 264 and 255 display a downshift of the B-band peak temperature. Their oscillatory patterns of B-band intensity and oxygen yield are highly damped. This behaviour is similar to strains D1 and G264 which are modified at position 264 only. We extend reports on additivity of mutation effects on herbicide binding to binding of QB. (e) Mutations at the QB site not only influence the binding of QB and herbicides but also change the thermoluminescence quantum yield and the lifetimes of the redox states S2 and S3 of the water oxidase. This finding might indicate long ranging effects on Photosystem II exerted by structural modifications of the QB site. From these data we conclude that Ser-264 is essential for binding of atrazine, DCMU and QB, whereas Phe-255 is involved in atrazine binding and its substitution by Tyr does not markedly affect QB or DCMU binding in Synechococcus PCC7942.

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.
