The two complexes have different Qn sites due to the additional Thr188 between the two histidine ligands in the D helix of cytochrome b6f and the introduction of heme x where the ubiquinone and antimycin A binding site would be in cytochrome bc1. The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii belongs to the group of eukaryotic green algae and lives in freshwater or in moist places. The cavity floor is formed by the N-terminal 25 residues of cytochrome b, and by lipid head groups that fill the cavity in situ. Presence of the lipids in the structure is not the only factor required to ensure dimer stability, since the dimeric b6f complex is retained prior to lipid augmentation. As a result, chloroplasts are dependent on the import of structural and regulatory proteins from the cytosol to maintain their function, assemble and repair their photosynthetic complexes, and coordinate gene expression and protein synthesis between the nucleus and chloroplast. The Rieske iron-sulfur protein oxidizes the plastoquinol to a semiquinone and two protons are released to the thylakoid lumen. The cytochrome b6f complex, an enzyme composed of two protein complexes, transfers the electrons from the carrier molecule plastoquinone (Pq) to the protein plastocyanin (Pc), ultimately facilitating the transfer of electrons from PSII to PSI. The first is through the sequential action of Photosystem II, which splits water and releases oxygen, the cytochrome b6f complex, and Photosystem I. In contrast, mutants affected in psaA gene expression show wild-type levels of psaB translation (Girard-Bascou, 1987; Goldschmidt-Clermont et al., 1990). The roof is formed by cd1 and cd2 p-side peripheral helices connecting helices C and D of cytochrome b, and the C terminus of the ISP transmembrane helix. The light-dependent reaction takes place within specialized membrane discs of the chloroplast, known as thylakoid. Addition of DOPC or DOPG lipid to the complex immediately after the last step of the purification process at a stoichiometry of 10:1, lipid:cytochrome f, resulted in formation of hexagonal crystals (3). The PetL subunit of cytochrome b, f is not essential for biogenesis and function, but removal in plant cells affected the mature leaves of tobacco plants. The absence of the CPLD38 protein appears to impact the specific activity of the cytochrome b6f complex, the stability of the individual subunits of the complex, and the levels of transcripts for the nucleus-encoded subunits of the complex. Contrary to the situation in vascular plants, however, the carotenoid lutein (and possibly loroxanthin) appears to contribute significantly to NPQ (Niyogi et al., 1997b; for further details, see Chapter 23). As expected, removal of CO2 from the headspace enhances light-driven H2-evolution, indicating competition for electrons between the CO2-fixation and the H2-evolution processes. Transfer of the second electron from plastoquinol across the complex through two b hemes, or as anionic plastosemiquinone, and the resulting proton uptake from the electronegative side generate a proton electrochemical gradient across the membrane (1). The two protein complexes differ in the number of lipid binding sites; at least eleven lipids are associated with the bc, f cytochrome contains approximately seventeen. Each, consists of four large subunits, including cytochrome f, cytochrome b, , the Rieske iron-sulfur protein (ISP), and subunit IV; as well as four small hydrophobic subunits, PetG, PetL, PetM, and PetN. Yuan Li, Gary J. Loake, in Plant Transcription Factors, 2016. Thus, the expression of cytochrome b6f subunits is seemingly hierarchical with the presence of cytochrome b6 and subunit IV being required for sustained expression of the CES subunit cytochrome f. Studies of Chlamydomonas mutants have uncovered similar hierarchies in the synthesis of chloroplast-encoded subunits from all major photosynthetic proteins, as illustrated in Figure 29.1. The Qn site in cytochrome b6f is more accessible because it is not an enclosed pocket. John S. Rieske and co-workers first discovered and isolated the proteins in 1964. On a timescale of femto- to picoseconds, excited xanthophylls in the light-harvesting complexes transfer energy to chlorophylls, probably from both the S2- and the S1-excited states (Walla et al., 2002), but they also protect the photosynthetic apparatus by quenching triplet chlorophyll in the range of nanoseconds (Peterman et al., 1995, 1997). Cytochrome B6f Complex Organellar and Metabolic Processes. Three lipid molecules, a sulfo-lipid and two DOPC molecules, can be resolved in the intermonomer quinone exchange cavity. The petD gene encodes subunit IV of the cytochrome b6/f complex, which is directly involved in photosynthetic electron transport. Schematic representation of the major photosynthetic proteins. In the core antennae, the primary function of β-carotene appears to be quenching of triplet chlorophyll (Groot et al., 1995, 1999; Jordan et al., 2001), while the two carotenes in the PS II reaction center act as quenchers of singlet oxygen (Telfer, 2002) and are involved in cyclic electron transfer in PS II (Tracewell and Brudvig, 2003; Ishikita et al., 2007). Invariant Tyr33, Gly38, Phe203, and Ile206 of cytochrome b6 and Phe40 and Ile44 of subunit IV contact heme x (2). The complex functions as a dimer. The molecular weight of cytochrome b. f is 214,805.70 Da and its isoelectric point (pI) is 6.41. f complex is 35% alpha-helices, 34 beta-strands, and 70 segments showing bends. Each monomer consists of four large subunits, including cytochrome f, cytochrome b6, the Rieske iron-sulfur protein (ISP), and subunit IV; as well as four small hydrophobic subunits, PetG, PetL, PetM, and PetN. Heme x does not appear to be required for Q cycle function because the other elements of the Q cycle (hemes b, complexes, have identical interheme distances, and have similar hydrophobic environments between hemes (1). A key role of the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts is the generation of a proton electrochemical gradient. S.J. To maintain a reproducible adsorption property, the freshly prepared Bio-Beads must be precisely weighed (wet, but not soaked or dry, and at an appropriate detergent-to-Bio-Beads ratio), properly prepared (washed three times in methanol and then three times in deionized water while stirring), and must not be allowed to dry out.86,95, Martin Lohr, in The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook, 2009. A mutant strain lacking synthesis of CF0 subunit III because it lacks stable accumulation of the atpH mRNA (Majeran et al., 2001) shows a pleiotropic loss of all ATP synthase subunits, but a specific reduction in the rate of synthesis of subunit IV (Lemaire and Wollman, 1989b). Proteolysis inhibitors at moderate concentration could retard but not inhibit proteolysis over a period of 1 week. The binding of a second plastoquinol causes one electron to reduce oxidized plastocyanin in the high-potential electron transport chain. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. The Q, active site is the location for plastoquinol binding, resulting in oxidation and electron transfer. P.D. The cavity floor is formed by the N-terminal 25 residues of cytochrome b6 and by lipid head groups that fill the cavity in situ. The three-dimensional structures of the p-side, n-side, and transmembrane domains facilitate their roles in enzyme activity. These NADP(H)-dependent enzymes catalyze the oxidation of L-arginine to NO and citrulline. Since light is not required for catalytic turnover of the cytochrome b6f complex, the role of the single chlorophyll a in the structure and function of the complex is unknown. The probability of singlet oxygen formation decreases upon interaction with the cytochrome b. The high frequency of alpha-helices in the transmembrane domain anchors the protein between the photosystem II and photosystem I reaction centers, enabling the coupling of sequential electron transfers. It has been reported that NR can convert NO2– to NO under low oxygen tensions and high nitrate concentrations with very low efficiency in vitro (Rockel et al., 2002). The largest group of these chloroplast-localized regulatory or only transiently with photosynthetic complexes associated factors belongs to the superfamily of helical-repeat proteins, which comprises the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR), pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR), and octotricopeptide repeat (OPR) families. An analogous CES cascade participates in Chlamydomonas PS II biogenesis. We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads. NADPH and FAD binding occurs at the C-terminal domain. The purified cytochrome b6f complex contains stoichiometrically bound chlorophyll a and beta-carotene at a ratio of one per cytochrome f, and bound … An obstacle in the crystal structure studies has been proteolysis and resulting monomerization of the complex, which degrades the complex from its active dimer form. A newly discovered feature of b-heme orientation in b6f complexes is that heme bp in M. laminosus is rotated 180o about the normal to the membrane plane relative to the heme orientation in Nostoc and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (2). The Rieske iron-sulfur protein oxidizes the plastoquinol to a semiquinone and two protons are released to the thylakoid lumen. Apocytochrome f is a mutant version of cytochrome f with a 6 His tag at the C-terminus. Green arrows indicate epistatic relationships between the subunits of a photosynthetic protein complex and connect an assembly partner whose presence is required for efficient synthesis of a CES subunit, to this CES subunit, emphasized by the arrowhead. The reduced iron-sulfur protein transfers an electron through cytochrome f to plastocyanin. Cytochrome b6f generates a transmembrane electrochemical proton gradient for adenosine triphosphate synthesis in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in plants, cyanobacteria, and green algae. In vivo protein … Cytochromes are a class of heme-containing proteins found in bacteria and the mitochondria of eukaryotes. One of these sites in the b, f complex is occupied by a natural sulfo-lipid which interacts with n-side segments of the ISP and cytochrome f (3). The results of DALI (Z=19.5) and protein BLAST (E=3e-46) searches show that cytochrome bc1 has both primary and tertiary similarity to cytochrome b6f. The Sec and SRP pathways require hydrolysis of nucleotide triphosphates – ATP and GTP respectively – although a proton motive force may also play a role (Ernst et al., 1994). The high frequency of alpha-helices in the transmembrane domain anchors the protein between the photosystem II and photosystem I reaction centers, enabling the coupling of sequential electron transfers. Cavity walls are formed by helices C,D, and F of one monomer, helices A and E of the other monomer, and the ISP transmembrane helix of either of the two. Thus, NR might function as a source of NO in plants. Reduction of a plastoquinone to a plastosemiquinone takes place at the Qn site of the n-side central cavity. The reduced iron-sulfur protein transfers an electron through cytochrome f to plastocyanin. The transfer of one electron from plastoquinol to the [2Fe-2S] cluster can generate a semiquinone radical that reduces the heme bp and initiates electron transfer through a low potential chain. Since the abundance of the petA mRNA remains unchanged upon defective assembly, this regulation likely occurs at the translational level. has an approximate 99% sequence similarity to cytochrome b, and a similar folding pattern. This explanation is supported by experiments in which the Δψ was inferred to contribute to powering the Tat pathway in vitro under select experimental conditions (Theg et al., 2005). The cytochrome b 6 f complex is a dimer, with each monomer composed of eight subunits. Instead, the latter is downregulated in the absence of ATP production (see section H2 Production: Issues and Challenges). Multi-subunit complex of cytb6/fis a crucial component for the photosynthetic electron transport chain of higher plants, green algae and cyanobacteria. Since light is not required for catalytic turnover of the cytochrome b, f complex, the role of the single chlorophyll, in the structure and function of the complex is unknown. In the absence of active removal of O2, this mechanism can operate for only 30–90s since O2 is a powerful inhibitor of the [FeFe]-hydrogenase reaction (and it is also a suppressor of [FeFe]-hydrogenase gene transcription, which is discussed in detail in later sections). The probability of singlet oxygen formation decreases upon interaction with the cytochrome b6f complex. The hemes are: Heme x, Heme b n, and Heme b p, all bound by cytochrome b 6; Heme f is sequestered by cytochrome f. The heme-binding site of each monomer is lined with Val26, Pro27, Pro28, His29, Asn31, Arg207, and Gln209 of cytochrome b6. To improve the quality of the RNA template, it may be necessary to purify the full-length transcript by gel electrophoresis. Murthy, M.L. The eyespot, which appears to be attached to the inner plastid envelope membrane, consists of β-carotene–containing lipid globules (Ohad et al., 1969; Schmidt et al., 2006) that are organized in two layers. For further explanation, see Section 4. Ghirardi, in Encyclopedia of Biological Chemistry (Second Edition), 2013. The measurements were performed at T(1) = T(2) = 7 K, at several TR values ranging from 5 μs to 1 ms. ROS production is also an important early event during plant immune responses (Grant and Loake, 2000; Skelly and Loake, 2013). β, -carotene is too far away from chlorophyll, for quenching of the excited triplet state, the presumed function of bound, (1BE3) has an approximate 84% sequence similarity to cytochrome b, f and a similar folding pattern. In PSII, electron transfer may lead to formation of a singlet oxygen (1O2) at the stroma. Phe, side of the E helix, is parallel to heme x and near (6 to 9 Å) plastoquinone in the cavity (1). Created by Jordan Kramer Cytochrome b6f (1VF5) from Mastigocladus laminosus is an integral membrane protein that mediates electron transfer between the photosystem II and photosystem I reaction centers by oxidizing lipophilic plastoquinol and reducing plastocyanin. These consist of four large subunits: a 32 kDa cytochrome f with a c-type cytochrome, a 25 kDa cytochrome b6 with a low- and high-potential heme group, a 19 kDa Rieske iron-sulfur protein containing a [2Fe-2S] cluster, and a 17 kDa subunit IV; along with four small subunits (3-4 kDa): PetG, PetL, PetM, and PetN. It is known that some nucleus-encoded subunits of the three major photosynthetic complexes (the PS II and PS I reaction centers and the cytochrome b6f complex) are translocated into the lumen via the so called “ΔpH-dependent Tat pathway” (reviewed in Cline and Henry, 1996), after entering the stroma via the outer (TOC) and inner (TIC) membrane translocon complexes (reviewed in Reumann and Keegstra, 1999). CF1, the soluble subcomplex which catalyzes ATP synthesis, is composed of five subunits α,β,γ,δ, and ε, assembled in the stoichiometry α3β3γ1δ1ε1 (see Chapter 18). Each half is composed of 11 protein chains and a complex collection of cofactors, including several hemes and an iron-sulfur cluster. In the stroma, electrons are transferred through PSI out of the thylakoid and form H2O2 with molecular oxygen (Asada, 1999), which then interacts with the reaction center of chlorophyll P680 in PSII to form singlet oxygen (1O2). Constriction of the portal by the chlorophyll phytyl tail causes the Q, f is more accessible because it is not an enclosed pocket. During chloroplast development, petD mRNA is cleaved from the polycistronic psbB-psbH-petA-petD precursor to yield a monocistronic transcript that accumulates in the light,11 but is rapidly degraded in the dark.12 Processing at the 3′ end of the petD mRNA terminates the transcript in a stem–loop structure, which confers stability to the RNA. While young mutant leaves accumulate comparable amounts of cytochrome b, f complex and have an identical assimilation capacity as wild type leaves, both cytochrome b, f complex contents and assimilation capacities of mature and old leaves are strongly reduced in the mutant, indicating that the cytochrome b, f complex is less stable than in the wild type (5). Ferguson, in Comprehensive Biophysics, 2012. TPR protein-dependent processes required for the biogenesis of the photosynthetic apparatus. The xanthophylls lutein and violaxanthin are bound to the light-harvesting antennae of both photosystems, while loroxanthin and neoxanthin appear to be confined to the light-harvesting complexes of PS II (Pineau et al., 2001). Cytochrome f from the cytochrome b6f complex is a typical CES protein whose rate of synthesis decreases in the absence of cytochrome b6 or subunit IV, to about 10% of that observed in the wild type (Lemaire et al., 1986; Kuras and Wollman, 1994). This whole process is dependent on two membrane-embedded multisubunit complexes: Photosystem II (PSII) oxidizes water to molecular oxygen and 4 H+, while photosystem I (PSI) provides the negative redox potential required for CO2 fixation. Cyclooxygenase 2, an enzyme involved in inflammation, is a cytochrome b protein. S.J. Background. This is achieved in two ways. The structure was solved by isomorphous replacement using Pb and Pt derivatives and multiwavelength anomalous diffraction from native iron atoms (1). This reaction allows to establish the proton force required for the ATP synthesis. We show that Stt7 is associated with photosynthetic complexes including LHCII, photosystem I, and the cytochrome b6f complex. However, lipid adsorption can be reduced by pre-incubating the beads with an excess of sonicated liposomes.95 Crystallization trials can be performed using either a one-step addition of Bio-Beads, resulting in fast removal of the detergent, or by addition of the same Bio-Bead mass progressively, resulting in a slower process. Three prosthetic groups in the b6f complex, the heme cn, one chlorophyll a and one β-carotene molecule per b6f monomer, are uniquely found in the b6f complex, but not in the bc1 complex (3). Another possible consequence of the presence of an electrochemical proton gradient in the dark is the ability to assemble the photosynthetic apparatus in the absence of any photosynthetic light reactions. The cytochrome b6f complex is an intehral thylakoid membrane protein that forms an electrochemical gradient by pumping protons. Proteolysis of cytochrome b, occurs slowly enough that crystals can be obtained when the crystallization process is accelerated through addition of lipid to the purified complex. One molecule of … The RNA template is then resuspended in 100 µl of DEPC-treated water and stored in 10-μl aliquots at −80°. The Q. and heme x. The structure was solved by isomorphous replacement using Pb and Pt derivatives and multiwavelength anomalous diffraction from native iron atoms (1). The significance of ketocarotenoid accumulation in Chlamydomonas zygospores has not been examined. The sample is electrophoresed for 30 min at 200 V, after which the wet gel is covered with Saran Wrap and exposed to X-ray film. In plant chloroplasts and cyanobacteria, there is an analogous protein, cytochrome b6, a component of the plastoquinone-plastocyanin reductase (EC 1.10.99.1), also known as the b6f complex. The requirement for the TAB1 factor to translate psaB mRNA can be bypassed in a suppressor strain that carries a chloroplast mutation in the psaB 5′ untranslated region (UTR). The molecular weight of cytochrome b6f is 214,805.70 Da and its isoelectric point (pI) is 6.41. By analyzing the single- and double-mutant of RBOH in Arabidopsis, RBOHD and RBOHF were found to be the main sources generating ROS after recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) and avirulent pathogens (Torres et al., 2002). The roof is formed by cd1 and cd2 p-side peripheral helices connecting helices C and D of cytochrome b6 and the C terminus of the ISP transmembrane helix. Lack of activity in the Q cycle by heme x indicates a potential function as ferrodoxin-plastoquinone reductase, a reagent necessary for cyclic electron transfer. In a similar way, psaA mutants show reduced synthesis of the CES subunit PsaC (Takahashi et al., 1991), while PsaB and PsaA are synthesized at wild-type rates – but rapidly degraded – in psaC deletion strains (Takahashi et al., 1991). Reduced complex stability was also confirmed by in vitro treatments of isolated thylakoids with chaotropic reagents. Schematic representation of a plant respiratory burst oxidase homolog (RBOH) protein. The two iron-sulfur subunits contain a total of 176 amino acids while the Rieske iron-sulfur protein is comprised of 179, indicating a 3 residue difference that does not alter function. Hemes bp and bn, in the core of the complex that is structurally conserved between bc1 and b6f complexes, bridge the second and fourth transmembrane helices of the cytochrome b polypeptide (3). Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. or its licensors or contributors. Aspects of the crystal structures of the hetero-oligomeric cytochrome bc (1) and b (6)f ("bc") complexes relevant to their electron/proton transfer function and the associated redox reactions of the lipophilic quinones are discussed. Examination by SDS-PAGE of the, f complex, which was kept in different detergents at room temperature for 7-14 days, showed proteolysis (3). The process carried out by cytochrome b6f is called the Q cycle because of the activity of quinone variants. 72 • The electrons from cytochrome b 6 f are passed to another mobile electron carrier, a water-soluble, copper-containing, peripheral membrane protein called plastocyanin, situated on the luminal side of the thylakoid membrane • Plastocyanin carries electrons to the luminal side of PSI, where they are transferred to P700 +, the positively charged reaction-center pigment of PSI. Over the course of evolution, the endosymbiont was transformed into the chloroplast, an organelle which still possesses its own genome and its own gene-expression machinery. Lack of activity in the Q cycle by heme x indicates a potential function as ferrodoxin-plastoquinone reductase, a reagent necessary for cyclic electron transfer. Concomitantly, protons (H+) are carried from the stromal to the lumenal side of the thylakoids, creating a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane, which is utilized by the enzyme adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase to generate the ATP that is also required for CO2 fixation. In cyanobacteria, respiration and photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes, and PQ, cytochrome (cyt) b6f and plastocyanin (or cyt c6) are electron carriers common to both electron transport chains (see a review in Mullineaux, 2014 ). The 2Fe - 2S cluster is embedded in the ISP. Three prosthetic groups in the C. reinhardtii complex, eicosane, 1,2-distearoyl-monoglactosyl-diglyceride, and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol, are not found in the M. laminosus complex. The two iron-sulfur subunits contain a total of 176 amino acids while the Rieske iron-sulfur protein is comprised of 179, indicating a 3 residue difference that does not alter function. While mutants lacking D1 show a greatly reduced level of CP47 synthesis but maintain synthesis of D2 (Bennoun et al., 1986; Jensen et al., 1986; de Vitry et al., 1989), the rate of both D1 and CP47 synthesis is strongly decreased in mutants lacking expression of D2 (Erickson et al., 1986; de Vitry et al., 1989). The major functions that have been suggested are that it may operate as a sunscreen to shield the photosynthetic pigments from excessive light (Yong and Lee, 1991; Hagen et al., 1994; Wang et al., 2003) or that it might prevent oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species. In an experiment, researchers apply a toxin to a plant cell that inhibits the cytochrome b6f complex On the positive side, the heme-proximal Glu78 (subunit IV), which accepts protons from plastosemiquinone, defines a route for H (+) transfer to the aqueous phase. The only subunits encoded in the nucleus are the Rieske iron-sulfur protein (encoded by the petC gene), the small peripheral PetM subunit, and the ferredoxin-NADP, oxidoreductase encoded by the petH gene (5).
