Abstract
The low-molecular-weight PsbM and PsbT proteins of Photosystem II (PS II) are both located at the monomer-monomer interface of the mature PS II dimer. Since the extrinsic proteins are associated with the final step of assembly of an active PS II monomer and, in the case of PsbO, are known to impact the stability of the PS II dimer, we have investigated the potential cooperativity between the PsbM and PsbT subunits and the PsbO, PsbU and PsbV extrinsic proteins. Blue-native polyacrylamide electrophoresis and western blotting detected stable PS II monomers in the ∆PsbM:∆PsbO and ∆PsbT:∆PsbO mutants that retained sufficient oxygen-evolving activity to support reduced photoautotrophic growth. In contrast, the ∆PsbM:∆PsbU and ∆PsbT:∆PsbU mutants assembled dimeric PS II at levels comparable to wild type and supported photoautotrophic growth at rates similar to those obtained with the corresponding ∆PsbM and ∆PsbT cells. Removal of PsbV was more detrimental than removal of PsbO. Only limited levels of dimeric PS II were observed in the ∆PsbM:∆PsbV mutant and the overall reduced level of assembled PS II in this mutant resulted in diminished rates of photoautotrophic growth and PS II activity below those obtained in the ∆PsbM:∆PsbO and ∆PsbT:∆PsbO strains. In addition, the ∆PsbT:∆PsbV mutant did not assemble active PS II centers although inactive monomers could be detected. The inability of the ∆PsbT:∆PsbV mutant to grow photoautotrophically, or to evolve oxygen, suggested a stable oxygen-evolving complex could not assemble in this mutant.

Abstract
Bicarbonate (HCO3-) binding regulates electron flow between the primary (QA) and secondary (QB) plastoquinone electron acceptors of Photosystem II (PS II). Lys264 of the D2 subunit of PS II contributes to a hydrogen-bond network that stabilizes HCO3- ligation to the non-heme iron in the QA-Fe-QB complex. Using the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, alanine and glutamate were introduced to create the K264A and K264E mutants. Photoautotrophic growth was slowed in K264E cells but not in the K264A strain. Both mutants accumulated an unassembled CP43 precomplex as well as the CP43-lacking RC47 assembly intermediate, indicating weakened binding of the CP43 precomplex to RC47. Assembly was impeded more in K264E cells than in the K264A strain, but K264A cells were more susceptible to high-light-induced photodamage when assayed using PS II-specific electron acceptors. Furthermore, an impaired repair mechanism was observed in the K264A mutant in protein labeling experiments. Unexpectedly, unlike the K264A strain, the K264E mutant displayed inhibited oxygen evolution following high-light exposure when HCO3- was added to support whole chain electron transport. In both mutants, the decay of chlorophyll fluorescence was slowed, indicating impaired electron transfer between QA and QB. Furthermore, the fluorescence decay kinetics in the K264E strain were insensitive to addition of either formate or HCO3-, whereas HCO3--reversible formate-induced inhibition in the K264A mutant was observed. Exchange of plastoquinol with the membrane plastoquinone pool at the QB-binding site was also retarded in both mutants. Hence, D2-Lys264 possesses key roles in both assembly and activity of PS II.

Abstract
Photosynthetic hydrogen production from microalgae is considered to have potential as a renewable energy source. Yet, the process has two main limitations holding it back from scaling up; (i) electron loss to competing processes, mainly carbon fixation and (ii) sensitivity to O2 which diminishes the expression and the activity of the hydrogenase enzyme catalyzing H2 production. Here we report a third, hitherto unknown challenge: We found that under anoxia, a slow-down switch is activated in photosystem II (PSII), diminishing the maximal photosynthetic productivity by three-fold. Using purified PSII and applying in vivo spectroscopic and mass spectrometric techniques on Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cultures, we show that this switch is activated under anoxia, within 10 s of illumination. Furthermore, we show that the recovery to the initial rate takes place following 15 min of dark anoxia, and propose a mechanism in which, modulation in electron transfer at the acceptor site of PSII diminishes its output. Such insights into the mechanism broaden our understanding of anoxic photosynthesis and its regulation in green algae and inspire new strategies to improve bio-energy yields.

Abstract
Water channels and networks within photosystem II (PSII) of oxygenic photosynthesis are critical for enzyme structure and function. They control substrate delivery to the oxygen-evolving center and mediate proton transfer at both the oxidative and reductive endpoints. Current views on PSII hydration are derived from protein crystallography, but structural information may be compromised by sample dehydration and technical limitations. Here, we simulate the physiological hydration structure of a cyanobacterial PSII model following a thorough hydration procedure and large-scale unconstrained all-atom molecular dynamics enabled by massively parallel simulations. We show that crystallographic models of PSII are moderately to severely dehydrated and that this problem is particularly acute for models derived from X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) serial femtosecond crystallography. We present a fully hydrated representation of cyanobacterial PSII and map all water channels, both static and dynamic, associated with the electron donor and acceptor sides. Among them, we describe a series of transient channels and the attendant conformational gating role of protein components. On the acceptor side, we characterize a channel system that is absent from existing crystallographic models but is likely functionally important for the reduction of the terminal electron acceptor plastoquinone QB. The results of the present work build a foundation for properly (re)evaluating crystallographic models and for eliciting new insights into PSII structure and function.

Abstract
In photosynthetic reaction centers from purple bacteria (PbRCs) and photosystem II (PSII), the photoinduced charge separation is terminated by an electron transfer between the primary (QA) and secondary (QB) quinones. Here, we investigate the electron transfer route, calculating the superexchange coupling (HQA-QB) for electron transfer from QA to QB in the protein environment. HQA-QB is significantly larger in PbRC than in PSII. In superexchange electron tunneling, the electron transfer via unoccupied molecular orbitals of the nonheme Fe complex (QA → Fe → QB) is pronounced in PbRC, whereas the electron transfer via occupied molecular orbitals (Fe → QB followed by QA → Fe) is pronounced in PSII. The significantly large HQA-QB is caused by a water molecule that donates the H-bond to the ligand Glu-M234 in PbRC. The corresponding water molecule is absent in PSII due to the existence of D1-Tyr246. HQA-QB increases in response to the Ser-L223···QB H-bond formation caused by an extension of the H-bond network, which facilitates charge delocalization over the QB site. This explains the observed discrepancy in the QA-to-QB electron transfer between PbRC and PSII, despite their structural similarity.

Abstract
Photo-induced charge separation, which is terminated by electron transfer from the primary quinone QA to the secondary quinone QB, provides the driving force for O2 evolution in photosystem II (PSII). However, the backward charge recombination using the same electron-transfer pathway leads to the triplet chlorophyll formation, generating harmful singlet-oxygen species. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism of proton-mediated QA ⋅- stabilization. Quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations show that in response to the loss of the bicarbonate ligand, a low-barrier H-bond forms between D2-His214 and QA ⋅-. The migration of the proton from D2-His214 toward QA ⋅- stabilizes QA ⋅-. The release of the bicarbonate ligand from the binding Fe2+ site is an energetically uphill process, whereas the bidentate-to-monodentate reorientation is almost isoenergetic. These suggest that the bicarbonate protonation and decomposition may be a basis of the mechanism of photoprotection via QA ⋅-/QAH⋅ stabilization, increasing the QA redox potential and activating a charge-recombination pathway that does not generate the harmful singlet oxygen.

Abstract
In photosystem II (PSII) and photosynthetic reaction centers from purple bacteria (PbRC), the electron released from the electronically excited chlorophyll is transferred to the terminal electron acceptor quinone, QB. QB accepts two electrons and two protons before leaving the protein. We investigated the molecular mechanism of quinone exchange in PSII, conducting molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) calculations. MD simulations suggest that the release of QB leads to the transformation of the short helix (D1-Phe260 to D1-Ser264), which is adjacent to the stromal helix de (D1-Asn247 to D1-Ile259), into a loop and to the formation of a water-intake channel. Water molecules enter the QB binding pocket via the channel and form an H-bond network. QM/MM calculations indicate that the H-bond network serves as a proton-transfer pathway for the reprotonation of D1-His215, the proton donor during QBH-/QBH2 conversion. Together with the absence of the corresponding short helix but the presence of Glu-L212 in PbRC, it seems likely that the two type-II reaction centers undergo quinone exchange via different mechanisms.

Abstract
Two plastoquinone electron acceptors, QA and QB, are present in Photosystem II (PS II) with their binding sites formed by the D2 and D1 proteins, respectively. A hexacoordinate non-heme iron is bound between QA and QB by D2 and D1, each providing two histidine ligands, and a bicarbonate that is stabilized via hydrogen bonds with D2-Tyr244 and D1-Tyr246. Both tyrosines and bicarbonate are conserved in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms but absent from the corresponding quinone-iron electron acceptor complex of anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria. We investigated the role of D2-Tyr244 by introducing mutations in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Alanine, histidine, and phenylalanine substitutions were introduced creating the Y244A, Y244H, and Y244F mutants. Electron transfer between QA and QB was impaired, the back-reaction with the S2 state of the oxygen-evolving complex was modified, and PS II assembly was disrupted, with the Y244A strain being more affected than the Y244F and Y244H mutants. The strains were also highly susceptible to photodamage in the presence of PS II-specific electron acceptors. Thermoluminescence and chlorophyll a fluorescence decay measurements indicated that the redox potential of the QA/QA- couple became more positive in the Y244F and Y244H mutants, consistent with bicarbonate binding being impacted. The replacement of Tyr244 by alanine also led to an insertion of two amino acid repeats from Gln239 to Ala249 within the DE loop of D2, resulting in an inactive PS II complex that lacked PS II-specific variable fluorescence. The 66 bp insertion giving rise to the inserted amino acids therefore created an obligate photoheterotrophic mutant.

Abstract
PsbX is a 4.1 kDa intrinsic Photosystem II (PS II) protein, found together with the low-molecular-weight proteins, PsbY and PsbJ, in proximity to cytochrome b559. The function of PsbX is not yet fully characterized but PsbX may play a role in the exchange of the secondary plastoquinone electron acceptor QB with the quinone pool in the thylakoid membrane. To study the role of PsbX, we have constructed a PsbX-lacking strain of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Our studies indicate that the absence of PsbX causes sensitivity to high light and impairs electron transport within PS II. In addition to a change in the QB-binding pocket, PsbX-lacking cells exhibited sensitivity to sodium formate, suggesting altered binding of the bicarbonate ligand to the non-heme iron between the sequential plastoquinone electron acceptors QA and QB. Experiments using 35S-methionine revealed high-light-treated PsbX-lacking cells restore PS II activity during recovery under low light by an increase in the turnover of PS II-associated core proteins. These labeling experiments indicate the recovery after exposure to high light requires both selective removal and replacement of the D1 protein and de novo PS II assembly.

Abstract
The D1:Val219 residue of Photosystem II in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was mutated to alanine or isoleucine, creating the V219A and V219I mutants, respectively. Oxygen evolution was slowed in these mutants, while chlorophyll a fluorescence induction assays indicated slowed electron transfer. As previously observed [Erickson J.M., Rahire, M., Rochaix, J.-D. and Mets. L. (1985) Science, 228, 204-207], the V219I mutant was resistant to 3,4-dichloro-1,1-dimethyl urea (DCMU); however, the V219A strain displayed no DCMU resistance. Additionally, the V219A strain was less sensitive to the addition of formate than the control, while the V219I strain was more sensitive to formate. Both mutant strains were susceptible to photodamage and required protein synthesis for recovery. We hypothesize that the sensitivity to DCMU and the extent of bicarbonate-reversible formate-induced inhibition, as well as the capacity for recovery in cells following photodamage, are influenced by the hydrophobicity of the environment associated with the Val219 residue in D1.

Abstract
The X-ray-derived Photosystem II (PS II) structure from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Thermosynechococcus vulcanus (Protein Data Bank entry 4UB6) indicates Phe239 of the DE loop of the D1 protein forms a hydrophobic interaction with Pro27 and Ile29 at the C-terminus of the 5 kDa PsbT protein found at the monomer-monomer interface of the PS II dimer. To investigate the importance of this interaction, we created the F239A and F239L mutants in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 through targeted mutagenesis of the D1:Phe239 residue into either an alanine or a leucine. Under moderate-light conditions, the F239A strain displayed reduced rates of oxygen evolution and impaired rates of fluorescence decay following a single-turnover actinic flash, while the F239L strain behaved like the control; however, under high-light conditions, the F239A and F239L strains grew more slowly than the control. Our results indicate the quinone-iron acceptor complex becomes more accessible to exogenously added electron acceptors in the F239A mutant and a ΔPsbT strain when compared with the control and F239L strains. This led to the hypothesis that the interaction between D1:Phe239 and the PsbT subunit is required to restrict movement of the DE loop of the D1 subunit, and we suggest disruption of this interaction may perturb the binding of bicarbonate to the non-heme iron and contribute to the signal for PS II to undergo repair following photodamage.
