摘要
In photosynthesis, the antenna system captures solar energy and transfers the excitations to photosystem II (PSII) core complex where charge separation, water splitting and oxygen evolution occur. In the evolution of photosynthesis from aquatic to terrestrial environments, the structure of PSII core complex was highly conserved while a variety of antenna forms became differentiated. In order to study the principles for energy transport from antenna to the PSII reaction center, we have explored whether the major light harvesting complex of PSII (LHCII) of higher plants can transfer energy to the cyanobacteria PSII core complexes (CC). For this purpose, LHCII from pea and CC from Thermosynechococcus vulcanus were isolated and co-reconstituted into liposome at LHCII:CC molar ratios of 2:1, 4:1 and 6:1, respectively. Chemical-cross linking followed by LC-MS/MS analysis confirmed the biochemical interaction between LHCII and CC in the liposome membrane. The analyses of 77 K fluorescence emission spectra and antenna cross section of PSII indicated that LHCII can transfer energy directly to the cyanobacterial CC. The study has laid the basis for further research on the mechanism of energy transfer from LHCII to PSII CC. This result may also open a new possibility for design and development of new artificial PSII in the application of solar energy conversion.
