摘要

Photosystem I (PS I) is a pigment-protein complex embedded in the thylakoid membrane that uses the energy of light to reduce ferredox-in or flavodoxin in cyanobacteria, algae and higher plants (Brettel 1997). According to the 2.5 A crystal structure,the electron transfer chain in PS I is comprised of six chlorophyll (Chl) molecules, two phylloquinones and three [4Fe-4S] clusters (Jordan et al 2001). The Chls and the phylloquinones are arranged in two pseudo-symmetric branches with ligands provided by the PsaA and PsaB protein sub-units. The presence of two highly symmetrical branches in the reaction center (RC) raises the question of which branch is active in electron transfer. In this work, point mutations were introduced near the primary electronacceptor sites assigned to A_0 in both the PsaA and PsaB branches of RC in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The residues Met688_(PsaA) and Met668_(PsaB), which provide the axial ligands to the Mg~(2+) of the eC-A3 and eC-B3 Chls, were changed to leucine and asparagine (Chl notation follows Jordan et al 2001). The removal of the ligand is expected to alter the midpoint potential of the A_0/A_0~- redox pair and affect the kinetics of charge separation. In this work, we studied the dynamicsof primary charge separation and secondary electron transfer in these mutants by ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy. Our results suggest that electron transfer in cyanobacterial PS I is asymmetric and occurs primarily along the PsaA branch of cofactors.
