Cryo-EM structure of the monomeric Rhodobacter sphaeroides RC-LH1 core complex at 2.5 A

Pu Qian et al.

Summary: RC-LH1 complexes are essential components of bacterial photosynthesis, consisting of light-absorbing LH1 and reaction center RC, which conserve energy as quinol and export it to the cytochrome bc1 complex. Some RC-LH1 complexes have a 14-subunit LH1 ring enclosing the RC, binding two bacteriochlorophylls and two carotenoids. Two transmembrane proteins, PufX and protein-Y, stabilize the open ring structure and ensure unhindered quinone diffusion.

Developmental acclimation of the thylakoid proteome to light intensity in Arabidopsis

Sarah E. Flannery et al.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in thylakoid protein levels during long-term acclimation of Arabidopsis to different light intensities and found correlations with key photosynthetic parameters. High light promoted improved photosynthetic capacity and cyclic electron transport, while low light favored slowly reversible non-photochemical quenching. The data provide insights into how Arabidopsis tunes photosynthetic electron transfer and its regulation during developmental acclimation to light intensity.

Cryo-EM structure of the Rhodospirillum rubrum RC-LH1 complex at 2.5 Å

Pu Qian et al.

Summary: The RC-LH1 complex is the core functional component of bacterial photosynthesis, with a unique monomeric bacteriochlorophyll and phospholipid ligand. The LH1 complex is composed of a circular array of 16 alpha beta-polypeptide subunits that completely surrounds the RC, with a preferential binding site for a quinone designated Q(P).
