== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PSAA_NOSS1 PSAA_NOSS1] PsaA and PsaB bind P700, the primary electron donor of photosystem I (PSI), as well as the electron acceptors A0, A1 and FX. PSI is a plastocyanin/cytochrome c6-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, converting photonic excitation into a charge separation, which transfers an electron from the donor P700 chlorophyll pair to the spectroscopically characterized acceptors A0, A1, FX, FA and FB in turn. Oxidized P700 is reduced on the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane by plastocyanin or cytochrome c6.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Photosystem I (PSI) is able to form different oligomeric states across various species. To reveal the structural basis for PSI dimerization and tetramerization, we structurally investigated PSI from the cyanobacterium Anabaena. This revealed a disrupted trimerization domain due to lack of the terminal residues of PsaL in the lumen, which resulted in PSI dimers with loose connections between monomers and weaker energy-coupled chlorophylls than in the trimer. At the dimer surface, specific phospholipids, cofactors and interactions in combination facilitated recruitment of another dimer to form a tetramer. Taken together, the relaxed luminal connections and lipid specificity at the dimer interface account for membrane curvature. PSI tetramer assembly appears to increase the surface area of the thylakoid membrane, which would contribute to PSI crowding.

Distinct structural modulation of photosystem I and lipid environment stabilizes its tetrameric assembly.,Chen M, Perez-Boerema A, Zhang L, Li Y, Yang M, Li S, Amunts A Nat Plants. 2020 Mar;6(3):314-320. doi: 10.1038/s41477-020-0610-x. Epub 2020 Mar , 9. PMID:32170279<ref>PMID:32170279</ref>
