Biogenesis and Structural Dynamics of the Photosystem II Complex

  • Chapter
Biotechnological Applications of Photosynthetic Proteins: Biochips, Biosensors and Biodevices

Part of the book series: Biotechnology Intelligence Unit ((BIOIU))

Abstract

Photosytem II (PSII) represents a multicomponent protein complex located in the thylakoid membrane of cyanobacteria, green algae and higher plants. Due to the ability to oxidize water, its development was responsible for the rise of oxygen atmosphere on Earth, which started about 3 billion years ago. The complex consists of more than 20 protein subunits; during its biogenesis, all these subunits—together with pigments, lipids and other prosthetic groups—are brought together in a highly coordinated process resulting in the functional complex. In addition, Photosystem II is intrinsically vulnerable to light-induced damage: this is mediated by reactive oxygen species and other strong oxidants. Both the latter are generated within the complex and may significantly influence its structure and function. To prevent oxidative damage, the complex frequently undergoes a repair cycle consisting in a selective replacement of its central protein subunit, which is accompanied by the partial disassembly and reassembly of the complex. All these features document the high structural variability and dynamics of the Photosystem II, which is the subject of this chapter.
