摘要

ABSTRACT: In addition to providing the earliest surface images of a native photosynthetic membrane atnsubmolecular resolution, examination of the intracytoplasmic membrane (ICM) of purple bacteria by atomicnforce microscopy (AFM) has revealed a wide diversity of species-dependent arrangements of closely packednlight-harvesting (LH) antennae, capable of fulfilling the basic requirements for efficient collection, transmission,nand trapping of radiant energy. A highly organized architecture was observed with fused preparations of thenpseudocrystalline ICM of Blastochloris Viridis, consiting of hexagonally packed monomeric reaction centernlight-harvesting 1 (RC-LH1) core complexes. Among strains which also form a peripheral LH2 antenna, imagesnof ICM patches from Rhodobacter sphaeroides exhibited well-ordered, interconnected networks of dimericnRC-LH1 core complexes intercalated by rows of LH2, coexisting with LH2-only domains. Other peripheralnantenna-containing species, notably Rhodospirillum photometricum and Rhodopseudomonas palustris, showedna less regular organization, with mixed regions of LH2 and RC-LH1 cores, intermingled with large,nparacrystalline domains. The ATP synthase and cytochrome bc1 complex were not observed in any of thesentopographs and are thought to be localized in the adjacent cytoplasmic membrane or in inaccessible ICMnregions separated from the flat regions imaged by AFM. The AFM images have served as a basis for atomicresolutionnmodeling of the ICM vesicle surface, as well as forces driving segregation of photosynthetic complexesninto distinct domains. Docking of atomic-resolution molecular structures into AFM topographs of Rsp.nphotometricum membranes generated precise in situ structural models of the core complex surrounded bynLH2 rings and a region of tightly packed LH2 complexes. A similar approach has generated a model of thenhighly curved LH2-only membranes of Rba. sphaeroides which predicts that sufficient space exists betweennLH2 complexes for quinones to diffuse freely. Measurement of the intercomplex distances between adjacentnLH2 rings of Phaeospirillum molischianum has permitted the first calculation of the separation ofnbacteriochlorophyll a molecules in the native ICM. A recent AFM analysis of the organization of green plantnphotosystem II (PSII) in grana thylakoids revealed the protruding oxygen-evolving complex, crowded togethernin parallel alignment at three distinct levels of stacked membranes over the lumenal surface. The results alsonconfirmed that PSII-LHCII supercomplexes are displaced relative to one another in opposing grana membranes.
