Abstract
Photosystem II (PSII) catalyzes water oxidation and plastoquinone reduction by utilizing light energy. It is highly susceptible to photodamage under high-light conditions and the damaged PSII needs to be restored through a process known as the PSII repair cycle. The detailed molecular mechanism underlying the PSII repair process remains mostly elusive. Here,we report biochemical and structural features of a PSII-repair intermediate complex,likely arrested at an early stage of the PSII repair process in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The complex contains three protein factors associated with a damaged PSII core,namely Thylakoid Enriched Factor 14 (TEF14),Photosystem II Repair Factor 1 (PRF1),and Photosystem II Repair Factor 2 (PRF2). TEF14,PRF1 and PRF2 may facilitate the release of the manganese-stabilizing protein PsbO,disassembly of peripheral light-harvesting complexes from PSII and blockage of the QB site,respectively. Moreover,an α-tocopherol quinone molecule is located adjacent to the heme group of cytochrome b559,potentially fulfilling a photoprotective role by preventing the generation of reactive oxygen species.
