Photosystem I Reaction Centre in Oxygenic Photosynthetic Organisms: Current Views and the Future

  • Chapter
Photosynthesis: Photoreactions to Plant Productivity

Abstract

Recent advances in structure and function of photosystem 1 reaction centre (PS I RC) protein-pigment complex in the inner membranes of green plants and of cyanobacteria are discussed. The complex cooperates with photosystem II reaction centre (PS II RC) complex in the same membranes to convert light energy into electrochemical energy in photosynthetic reaction. The structure of the protein moiety of the PS I RC complex is discussed on the basis of recently identified subunit components and their amino-acid sequences. The sequences show very low homology to those of subunits of RC complexes of PS II or purple bacteria, and suggest that this complex has a structure and an evolutionary origin somewhat different from the latter complexes. The PS I RC produces extremely low redox potential and reduces NADP+. Almost all the prosthetic groups, such as chlorophylls, quinone, and iron-sulphur centres, in this RC have recently been identified. Recent experimental findings on characteristics of the prosthetic groups and their reactions are reviewed. It has become clear that the protein moiety of this RC complex creates special environments for the function of prosthetic groups. Future studies, expected from the modification of structure of this RC now in progress in various laboratories, are discussed.
