Photosystem II (PSII) is a large membrane protein complex that catalyzes oxidation of water to molecular oxygen. During its normal function, PSII is damaged and frequently turned over. The maturation of the D1 protein, a key component in PSII, is a critical step in PSII biogenesis. The precursor form of D1 (pD1) contains a C-terminal extension, which is removed by the protease CtpA to yield PSII complexes with oxygen evolution activity. To determine the temporal position of D1 processing in the PSII assembly pathway, PSII complexes containing only pD1 were isolated from a CtpA-deficient strain of the cyanobacteriumSynechocystis6803. Although membranes from the mutant cell had nearly 50% manganese, no manganese was detected in isolated ΔctpAHT3 PSII, indicating a severely decreased manganese affinity. However, chlorophyll fluorescence decay kinetics after a single saturating flash suggested that the donor YZwas accessible to exogenous Mn2+ions. Furthermore, the extrinsic proteins PsbO, PsbU, and PsbV were not present in PSII isolated from this mutant. However, PsbO and PsbV were present in mutant membranes, but the amount of PsbV protein was consistently less in the mutant membranes compared with the control membranes. We conclude that D1 processing precedes manganese binding and assembly of the extrinsic proteins into PSII. Interestingly, the Psb27 protein was found to be more abundant in ΔctpAHT3 PSII than in HT3 PSII, suggesting a possible role of Psb27 as an assembly factor during PSII biogenesis.

A herbicide resistant Euglena mutant (MSI) has been obtained by adapting wild type cells to increasing concentrations of DCMU (3-(3′,4′-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea). Lower resistance levels towards DCMU and metribuzin were observed in MSI when compared with Euglena or Chlamydomonas mutants with Ser 264 to Ala substitutions. RNA-sequence analysis identified a Ser to Thr change at position 265 (equivalent to position 264 in other organisms), thus making it possible to compare the influence of amino acids Ser, Ala and Thr at identical positions on the inhibitory effect of structurally different herbicides in the same species.
