Location of two Mn2+ affinity sites in photosystem II detected by pulsed electron-electron double resonance

Hiroyuki Mino et al.

Summary: This study identified two Mn2+ sites in PSII using PELDOR, with one Mn2+ ion binding to apo-PSII during deactivation of the oxygen-evolving complex. The site between His332 and Glu189 in the D1 polypeptide was found to be in close proximity to the Mn1 site in mature PSII. Additionally, the position between Asp170 and Glu189 in the D1 polypeptide was suggested as a potential initial high-affinity site for photoactivation based on comparisons with electron microscope structures.

Why Did Nature Choose Manganese over Cobalt to Make Oxygen Photosynthetically on the Earth?

Colin Gates et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the first functional substitution of manganese in any oxygenic reaction center by in vitro photoassembly. Reconstituted Co-PSIIX oxidizes water by the standard four-flash photocycle, although producing less oxygen than PSII. Manganese offers advantages of slower charge recombination and greater photodamage tolerance compared to cobalt.

Structural insights into photosystem II assembly

Jure Zabret et al.

Summary: Auxiliary proteins play a crucial role in assisting the assembly of photosystems, as shown by the structure of a PSII assembly intermediate resolved by cryo-electron microscopy. This structure reveals mechanisms that protect against photodamage during vulnerable stages of biogenesis and prepare the active site for the unique water-splitting reaction catalyzed by the Mn4CaO5 cluster.
