Abstract
The QB binding site of the D1 reaction center protein, located within a stromal loop between transmembrane helices IV and V formed by residues Ile219 to Leu272, is essential for photosynthetic electron transport through photosystem II (PSII). We have examined the function of the highly conserved Ala251 D1 residue in this domain in chloroplast transformants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and found that Arg, Asp, Gln, Glu, and His substitutions are nonphotosynthetic, whereas Cys, Ser, Pro, Gly, Ile, Val, and Leu substitutions show various alterations in D1 turnover, photosynthesis, and photoautotrophic growth. The latter mutations reduce the rate of QA to QB electron transfer, but this is not necessarily rate-limiting for photoautotrophic growth. The Cys mutant divides and evolves O2 at wild type rates, although it has slightly higher rates of D1 synthesis and turnover and reduced electron transfer between QA and QB. O2 evolution, D1 synthesis, and accumulation in the Ser, Pro, and Gly mutants in high light is reduced, but photoautotrophic growth rate is not affected. In contrast, the Ile, Val, and Leu mutants are impaired in photoautotrophic growth and photosynthesis in both low and high light and have elevated rates of D1 synthes...Continue Reading
