Characterization of the high-spin heme x in the cytochrome b6f complex of oxygenic photosynthesis.
X-ray structures at 3.0-3.1 A resolution of the cytochrome b(6) f complex from the cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus [Kurisu, G., Zhang, H., Smith, J. L., and Cramer, W. A. (2003) Science 302, 1009-1014] and the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [Stroebel, D., Choquet, Y., Popot, J.-L., and Picot, D. (2003) Nature 426, 413-418] showed the presence of a unique heme, hemex, that is covale...
متن کاملStructure of the cytochrome b6f complex of oxygenic photosynthesis: tuning the cavity.
The cytochrome b6f complex provides the electronic connection between the photosystem I and photosystem II reaction centers of oxygenic photosynthesis and generates a transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient for adenosine triphosphate synthesis. A 3.0 angstrom crystal structure of the dimeric b6f complex from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus reveals a large quinone e...
متن کاملSOME NEW STRUCTURAL ASPECTS AND OLD CONTROVERSIES CONCERNING THE CYTOCHROME b6f COMPLEX OF OXYGENIC PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
The cytochrome b6f complex functions in oxygenic photosynthetic membranes as the redox link between the photosynthetic reaction center complexes II and I and also functions in proton translocation. It is an ideal integral membrane protein complex in which to study structure and function because of the existence of a large amount of primary sequence data, purified complex, the emergence of struc...
متن کاملA defined protein-detergent-lipid complex for crystallization of integral membrane proteins: The cytochrome b6f complex of oxygenic photosynthesis.
The paucity of integral membrane protein structures creates a major bioinformatics gap, whose origin is the difficulty of crystallizing these detergent-solubilized proteins. The problem is particularly formidable for hetero-oligomeric integral membrane proteins, where crystallization is impeded by the heterogeneity and instability of the protein subunits and the small lateral pressure imposed b...
متن کاملBinding sites of lipophilic quinone and quinone analogue inhibitors in the cytochrome b6f complex of oxygenic photosynthesis.
The main structural features of the cytochrome b6f complex, solved to 3.0-3.1 A (1 A = 10(-10) m) in the cyanobacterium Mastigocladus laminosus and the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are discussed. The discussion is focused on the binding sites of plastoquinone and quinone analogue inhibitors discerned in the structure. These sites mark the pathway(s) of quinone translocation across the c...
