Assembly of the Bound Iron–Sulfur Clusters in Photosystem I

  • Chapter
Photosystem I

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 24))

Abstract

The first attempts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that function in the bioassembly of the bound Fe/S clusters in Photosystem I (PS I) are discussed. Fe/S proteins participate in a wide variety of processes, the most important of which in photosynthetic organisms are light-mediated electron transport and stress-induced regulation of genes. One of the last steps in the biogenesis of PS I involves the assembly of the three bound [4Fe–4S] clusters FX, FA, and FB. It has been shown that the proteins encoded by the suf regulon are involved in the assembly and repair of the bound Fe/S clusters in cyanobacteria. The SUF system of Fe/S cluster assembly is localized in the chloroplasts of plants; however, no homologs of the suf genes have been identified in nonphotosynthetic eukaryotes.
