Distal and Extrinsic Photosystem II Antennas

  • Chapter
Photosystem II

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 22))

Summary

The distal and extrinsic light-harvesting antennas of Photosystem II (PS II) provide the capability to match electron flow through Photosystem I thus allowing for regulated responses to environmental changes. In this chapter we provide a concise up-to-date description of these antenna complexes and discuss what is known about their function. The cyanobacteria and red algal PS II antennas are phycobiliproteins organized into complex membrane-extrinsic structures called phycobilisomes. A small group of cyanobacteria lack phycobilisomes and instead use the membrane-intrinsic prochlorophyte chlorophyll (Chl) a/b proteins. PS II of eukaryotes is primarily served by members of the light-harvesting complex (LHC) superfamily which has become widely diversified into Chl a/b and Chl a/c antennas. As members of the LHC superfamily, cryptophyte algae also have novel phycobilins in the thylakoid lumen, and dinoflagellate algae have a unique peridinin-Chl a protein. Atomic resolution structures of these two antennas and the major plant LHC are opening up a new era in understanding energy transfer.
