Abstract
Changes in antenna of photosystem II, induced by short-term heating, were studied using characteristics of a short-wavelength band in low-temperature fluorescence spectra (77 K) of pea chloroplasts. Heating for 5 min was carried out at 25 and 45°C in the darkness or in the presence of white light with intensity of 260 or 1,400 μmol/m(2)s. Most modes of thermal treating induced a decrease in integral intensity of the band and an increase of its half-width. The changes were more prominent at high-temperature heating. The second derivative of the contour of a short-wavelength band showed its three components around 680, 685, and 693 nm, the first of which belongs to emission of the outer antenna of Photosystem II, and the other two to its inner antenna. As the fourth derivative shows, high-temperature heating in the presence of light evokes an appearance of some additional components in a short-wavelength region (654, 658, 661, 666, 672, and 675 nm) as well as of two additional components, 682 and 689 nm, in the region of 685-nm peak. Two subcomponents, 692 and 694 nm, can be detected in the 693-nm component. The results are discussed on the basis of the data concerning energy levels and pathways of energy transfer in pigment-protein complexes of the outer and the inner antennas of photosystem II. It is assumed that a protective role of low light relates to inducing of an essential disarrangement in the outer and the inner antennas and of a subsequent decrease in energy funneling to reaction centers, which, in turn, lowers the extent of photoinhibition.

Abstract
This article provides a glimpse into the dawning of research on chlorophyll-protein complexes and a brief recollection of the path that led us to the identification of the photosystem II reaction center, i.e., the polypeptides that carry the site of primary charge separation in oxygenic photosynthesis. A preliminary version of the personal review on the latter topic has already appeared in this journal (Satoh Photosynth Res 76:233-240, 2003).

Abstract
Spectral properties, particularly fluorescence spectra and their time-dependent behavior, were investigated for a mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 lacking the 43 kDa chlorophyll-protein (CP43, PsbC). Lack of CP43 was confirmed by a size shift of the corresponding gene and by Western blotting. The CP43-deletion mutant grown under heterotrophic conditions accumulated a small amount of photosystem (PS) II, but virtually no PS II fluorescence was observed. A 686-nm fluorescence band was clearly observed by phycocyanin excitation, coming from the terminal pigments of phycobilisomes. In contrast, no PS I fluorescence was detected by phycocyanin excitation when accumulation of PS II components was not proved by a fluorescence excitation spectrum, indicating that energy transfer to PS I chlorophyll a was mediated by PS II chlorophyll a. Direct connection of phycobilisomes with PS I was not suggested. Based on these fluorescence properties, the energy flow in the CP43-deletion mutant cells is discussed.

Abstract
This review focuses on the biosynthesis of pigments in the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and their physiological and regulatory functions in the context of information gathered from studies of other photosynthetic organisms. C. reinhardtii is serving as an important model organism for studies of photosynthesis and the pigments associated with the photosynthetic apparatus. Despite extensive information pertaining to the biosynthetic pathways critical for making chlorophylls and carotenoids, we are just beginning to understand the control of these pathways, the coordination between pigment and apoprotein synthesis, and the interactions between the activities of these pathways and those for other important cellular metabolites branching from these pathways. Other exciting areas relating to pigment function are also emerging: the role of intermediates of pigment biosynthesis as messengers that coordinate metabolism in the chloroplast with nuclear gene activity, and the identification of photoreceptors and their participation in critical cellular processes including phototaxis, gametogenesis, and the biogenesis of the photosynthetic machinery. These areas of research have become especially attractive for intensive development with the application of potent molecular and genomic tools currently being applied to studies of C. reinhardtii.

Abstract
A naturally occurring atrazine-resistant cyanobacterial isolate, strain SG2, was isolated from an atrazine-containing wastewater treatment system at the Syngenta atrazine production facility in St. Gabriel, La. Strain SG2 was resistant to 1,000 microg of atrazine per ml but showed relatively low resistance to diuron [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl urea]. Analyses of 16S ribosomal DNA indicated that strain SG2 falls into the Synechocystis/Pleurocapsa/Microcystis group. Photosynthetically driven oxygen evolution in strain SG2 was only slightly inhibited (about 10%) by 2,000 microg of atrazine per ml, whereas in the control strain Synechocystis 6803, oxygen evolution was inhibited 90% by 1,000 microg of atrazine per ml. No atrazine accretion, mineralization, or metabolites were detected when strain SG2 was grown with [(14)C]atrazine. Strain SG2 contained three copies of the psbA gene, which encodes the D(1) protein of the photosystem II reaction center. Nucleotide sequence analyses indicated that the psbA2 and psbA3 genes encoded predicted proteins with the same amino acid sequence. However, the psbA1 gene product contained five extra amino acids, which were not found in PsbA proteins from five other cyanobacteria. Moreover, the PsbA1 protein from strain SG2 had an additional 13 amino acid changes compared to the PsbA2/PsbA3 proteins and contained 10 amino acid alterations compared to conserved residues found in other cyanobacteria. Reverse transcriptase PCR analysis indicated that the psbA1 gene and the psbA2/psbA3 gene(s) were expressed in photosynthetically grown cells in the presence of atrazine. These results suggest that strong selection pressure conferred by the continual input of atrazine has contributed to the evolution of a herbicide-resistant, yet photosynthetically efficient, psbA gene in a cyanobacterium.

Abstract
In the presence of externally added ATP, in the dark, isolated pea chloroplasts accumulate two proteins of molecular masses of about 22 and 24 kDa which precipitate with specific antibodies raised against the D1 protein. By chasing in the light, these proteins disappeared on the fluorogram concomitant with the appearance of the precursor- and mature-sized D1 proteins. Polysome analysis indicated that the 22-kDa component is associated with membrane-bound ribosomes and is thus ascribed to a translation intermediate of the D1 protein. On the other hand, the 24-kDa component could not be found in the polysome fraction under the experimental condition used, suggesting the possibility that this component is a degradation product of the D1 protein. The conclusion from this analysis is that the synthesis and/or stable accumulation of the D1 protein requires factor(s) caused by illumination, in addition to ATP, in isolated pea chloroplasts.

Abstract
The COOH-terminal domain of the 80-residue cytochrome b559 alpha-subunit (psbE gene product) in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was sequentially truncated in order to determine the minimum polypeptide length needed for function and assembly. A stop codon was introduced into the Arg-50, Arg-59, or Tyr-69 codons of the psbE gene, generating mutants truncated by 31, 22, and 12 residues, respectively. Removal of 12 residues caused a decrease of 20% in PSII function. Truncation of 22 or 31 residues caused a large decrease (60-85%) in the photoautotrophic growth rate, the rate of O2 evolution, and the amplitude of the 77 K 696-nm fluorescence, and a concomitant increase in the constant yield fraction (F0/Fmax) of the chlorophyll fluorescence. The level of residual activity in the Arg50-stop mutant was 10-20% of the wild type, which was reflected in a similar low level of immunochemically detected D2 polypeptide. Quantitation of the PSII reaction center stoichiometry of the Arg50-stop mutant by analysis of [14C]DCMU binding also showed a 5-fold decrease (1:910 Chl in wild type and 1:5480 Chl in R50) in the PSII reaction center concentration. However, the KD value for DCMU in the residual 15% of the complexes to which it bound was approximately equal to that (25 nM) of the wild type. Northern blot analysis showed no decrease in the b559 psbE mRNA level. Chemical difference spectral analysis of heme content indicated that the level of native cytochrome b559 heme in the Arg50-stop mutant (1:640 Chl) was 80% that of wild type (1:510 Chl).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This review presents a summary of recent investigations examining the structure and function of the chlorophyll-proteins CPa-1 (CP47) and CPa-2 (CP43). Comparisons of the derived amino acid sequences of these proteins suggest sites for chlorophyll binding and for interactions between these chlorophyll-proteins and other Photosystem II components. Hydropathy plot analysis of these proteins allows the formulation fo testable hypotheses concerning their topology and orientation within the photosynthetic membrane. The role of these chlorophyll-proteins as interior light-harvesting chlorophyll-a antennae for Photosystem II is examined and other possible additional roles for these important Photosystem II components are discussed.

Abstract
The 47 kDa polypeptide and a protein complex consisting of the D1 (32 kDa), D2 (34 kDa) and cytochrome b-559 (9 kDa) species were isolated from a Tris-washed Photosystem II core complex solubilized with dodecylmaltoside in the presence of LiClO4. Although the 43 kDa chlorophyll-binding protein is readily dissociated from the Photosystem II complex under our conditions, two cycles of exposure to high concentrations of detergent and LiClO4 were required for complete removal of the 47 kDa chlorophyll-binding protein from the D1-D2-cytochrome b-559 complex. Spectroscopic characterization of these two species revealed that the 47 kDa protein binds chlorophyll a, whereas the D1-D2-cytochrome b-559 complex shows an enrichment in Pheo a and heme on a chlorophyll basis. A spin-polarized EPR triplet can be observed at liquid helium temperatures in the D1-D2-cytochrome b-559 complex, but no such triplet is observed in the purified 47 kDa species. The zero-field splitting parameters of the P-680+ triplet indicate that the triplet spin is localized onto one chlorophyll molecule. Resonance Raman spectroscopy showed that: (i) beta-carotene is bound to the reaction center in its all-trans conformation; (ii) all chlorophyll a molecules are five-coordinate; and (iii) the C-9 keto group of one of the chlorine pigments is hydrogen-bonded. Our results support the proposal that the D1-D2 complex binds the P-680+ and Pheo a species that are involved in the primary charge separation.

Abstract
A recent report (Nanba O, Satoh K: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 84: 109-112, 1987) described the isolation from spinach of a putative photosystem 2 reaction centre which contained cytochrome b-559 and three other electrophoretically resolvable polypeptide bands, two of which have molecular weights comparable to the D1 and D2 polypeptides. We have used in vivo labelling with radioactive methionine and probed with D1 and D2 monospecific antibodies (raised against synthetically expressed sequences of the psbA and psbD genes) for specific detection of these proteins in a similarly prepared photosystem 2 reaction centre preparation. These techniques identified a 32 000 dalton D1 band, a 30 000 dalton D2 band and a 55 000 dalton D1/D2 aggregate, the latter apparently arising from the detergent treatments employed. Digestions with a lysine-specific protease further confirmed the identification of the lysine-free D1 polypeptide and also confirmed that the D1 molecules in the 55 000 dalton band were in aggregation with other bands and not in self-aggregates. The D1 and D2 polypeptides (including the aggregate) are considerably enriched in the photosystem two reaction centre preparation compared to the other resolved fractions.

Abstract
The gene for the 44 kD chlorophyll a-binding photosystem II polypeptide has been localized on the pea (Pisum sativum) chloroplast genome. The nucleotide sequence of the gene and its flanking regions has been analyzed. The gene codes for a polypeptide of 473 amino acid residues and is possibly cotranscribed with the gene for the D2 photosystem II polypeptide with which it has 50 bp in common. The amino acid sequences of the 44 kD polypeptides from pea, spinach and maize are approximately 95% homologous. Within the 1 kb fragment 3' to the 44 kD gene a 93 bp tRNA-Ser (UGA) gene and an open reading frame of 62 codons (ORF 62) were identified. Both show high homology to corresponding genes 3' to the 44 kD genes from spinach, maize and barley. The 44 kD gene and ORF 62 are encoded in the same strand, and have putative promoter sequences, ribosome binding sites and transcription termination signals.

Abstract
Two polypeptides of 10 kDa and 22 kDa, shown to be components of the higher plant photosystem 2, were purified and examined. A NaCl/Triton X-100 treatment was designed, which released these two polypeptides from the thylakoid membrane, in concert with the extrinsic 16-kDa and 23-kDa proteins, concomitant with a loss in oxygen-evolution activity. After this treatment the oxygen-evolving activity of the photosystem 2 membranes devoid of the 10-kDa and the 22-kDa polypeptides could be restored with CaCl2, but not by readdition of the purified 23-kDa protein. This deficiency was caused by an inability of the 23-kDa protein to rebind to the photosystem 2 membranes. In analogy, the oxygen-evolution activity of a highly purified photosystem 2 core preparation, devoid of the 10-kDa and 22-kDa polypeptides, was stimulated by CaCl2, but not by the 23-kDa protein. We, therefore, suggest that the 10-kDa or the 22-kDa polypeptides provide a binding-site for the extrinsic 23-kDa protein to the thylakoid membrane. The 10-kDa and 22-kDa polypeptides were isolated through ion-exchange chromatography in the presence of detergents. They both displayed hydrophobic properties, verified by their low proportion of polar amino acid residues and their partition to the hydrophobic phase during Triton X-114 fractionation. The purified polypeptides did not contain metallic cofactors or substances with absorption in the visible region of the spectrum.

Abstract
A number of herbicide classes, including the s-triazines and ureas (atrazine, diuron) inhibit photosynthetic electron transport via a direct interaction with the QB-protein. This protein, also known as the 32-kDa protein or herbicide binding protein, is believed to bind the plastoquinone QB, which functions as the second stable electron acceptor at the reducing side of Photosystem II. The site of covalent attachment of the photoaffinity herbicide analog azido-[14C]atrazine to the QB-protein of spinach chloroplast thylakoid membranes has been determined. Two amino acid residues are labeled; one residue is methionine-214, the other lies between histidine-215 and arginine-225. Both residues are within a region of the amino acid sequence which is highly conserved between the QB-protein and the L and M reaction center proteins of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata and R. sphaeroides. This region includes the site of a mutation which results in diuron resistance in Chlamydomonas reinhardi (valine-219). However, this region is well removed from point mutations at phenylalanine-255 (which gives rise to atrazine resistance in C. reinhardi) and at serine-264, (which results in extreme atrazine resistance in C. reinhardi and naturally occurring weed biotypes). The patterns of labeling and mutation imply that the quinone and herbicide binding site is formed by at least two protein domains.
