Antenna Complexes from Green Photosynthetic Bacteria

  • Chapter
Light-Harvesting Antennas in Photosynthesis

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 13))

Summary

Green photosynthetic bacteria contain unique peripheral antenna complexes known as chiorosomes. Chiorosome complexes are optimized for light collection at low levels. The chlorosome is composed of large amounts of pigment and relatively little protein. The pigments consist principally of bacteriochiorophylls c, d or e plus carotenoids, along with small amounts of bacteriochlorophyll a. The bacteriochlorophylls c, d or e are organized into pigment oligomers with relatively little or no involvement of protein in determining the pigment arrangement. The bacteriochlorophyll a is associated with a protein as a pigment-protein complex. Additional membrane-associated antenna complexes are energy transfer intermediates between the chlorosome and the reaction center. These include the Fenna-Matthews-Olson protein in the green sulfur bacteria, and integral membrane antenna complexes similar to the purple bacterial LHI complex in the green nonsulfur bacteria. The green sulfur bacteria antenna system is regulated by redox potential, so that excitations are efficiently quenched at high redox potentials and never reach the reaction center. This regulation is mediated by quinone molecules that are localized in the chiorosome complex and is thought to protect the cell from light-induced superoxide formation under conditions of transient oxygen exposure.
