Abstract:
:EPR studies have revealed that removal of calcium using citric acid from the site in spinach photosystem II which is coupled to the photosynthetic O2-evolving process produces a structural change in the manganese cluster responsible for water oxidation. If done in the dark, this yields a modified S1' oxidation state which can be photooxidized above 250 K to form a structurally altered S2' state, as seen by formation of a "modified" multiline EPR signal. Compared to the "normal" S2 state, this new S2'-state EPR signal has more lines (at least 25) and 25% narrower 55Mn hyperfine splittings, indicative of disruption of the ligands to manganese. The calcium-depleted S2' oxidation state is greatly stabilized compared to the native S2 oxidation state, as seen by a large increase in the lifetime of the S2' EPR signal. Calcium reconstitution results in the reduction of the oxidized tyrosine residue 161YD+ (Em approximately 0.7-0.8 V, NHE) within the reaction center D1 protein in both the S1' and S2' states, as monitored by its EPR signal intensity. We attribute this to reduction by Mn. Thus a possible structural role which calcium plays is to bring YD+ into redox equilibrium with the Mn cluster. Photooxidation of S2' above 250 K produces a higher S state (S3 or S4) having a new EPR signal at g = 2.004 +/- 0.003 and a symmetric line width of 163 +/- 3 G, suggestive of oxidation of an organic donor, possibly an amino acid, in magnetic contact with the Mn cluster. This EPR signal forms in a stoichiometry of 1-2 relative to YD+.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
