Abstract
AbstractBinding of Psb28 to the photosystem II assembly intermediate PSII-I induces conformational changes to the PSII acceptor side that impact charge recombination and reduce the in situ production of singlet oxygen (Zabret et al. 2021, Nat. Plants 7, 524-538). A detailed fluorometric analysis of the PSII-I assembly intermediate compared with OEC-disrupted and Mn-depleted PSII complexes showed differences between their variable (OJIP) chlorophyll fluorescence induction profiles. These revealed a distinct destabilisation of the QA- state in the PSII-I assembly intermediate and inactivated PSII samples related to an increased rate of direct and safe charge recombination. Furthermore, inactivation or removal of the OEC increases the binding affinity for plastoquinone analogues like DCBQ to the different PSII complexes. These results might indicate a mechanism that further contributes to the protection of PSII during biogenesis or repair.
