Photosystem II Assembly from Scratch
Construction of a functional Photosystem II (PSII) in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts depends on the action of auxiliary factors, which transiently interact with PSII intermediates during assembly. In addition to a common PSII structure and a conserved set of PSII assembly factors, cyanobacteria, and higher plants have evolved additional, clade-specific assembly factors. Most such factors in cya...
متن کاملCarotenoids Assist in Cyanobacterial Photosystem II Assembly and Function
Carotenoids (carotenes and xanthophylls) are ubiquitous constituents of living organisms. They are protective agents against oxidative stresses and serve as modulators of membrane microviscosity. As antioxidants they can protect photosynthetic organisms from free radicals like reactive oxygen species that originate from water splitting, the first step of photosynthesis. We summarize the structu...
متن کاملPhotosystem II assembly and repair are differentially localized in Chlamydomonas.
Many proteins of the photosynthesis complexes are encoded by the genome of the chloroplast and synthesized by bacterium-like ribosomes within this organelle. To determine where proteins are synthesized for the de novo assembly and repair of photosystem II (PSII) in the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we used fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence staining, and confocal...
متن کاملStarting from scratch: de novo kinetochore assembly in vertebrates.
Centromeres are epigenetically defined by the presence of the histone H3 variant, CENP-A. Up until now, the question of how CENP-A nucleosomes mediate kinetochore nucleation was poorly understood. In a study just published in Nature, a unique cell-free system was used to demonstrate that in vitro assembled CENP-A chromatin arrays recapitulate the assembly of bona fide kinetochores through the e...
متن کاملPhotosystem II
Photosystem II is a specialized protein complex that uses light energy to oxidize water, resulting in the release of molecular oxygen into the atmosphere, and to reduce plastoquinone, which is released into the hydrophobic core of the photosynthetic membrane. All oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, which include plants, algae and some bacteria, depend on photosystem II to extract electrons from ...
