PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01379] Publication Abstract from PubMed Photosystem II (PSII) utilizes light energy to split water, and the electrons extracted from water are transferred to Q(B), a plastoquinone molecule bound to the D1 subunit of PSII. Many artificial electron acceptors (AEAs) with molecular structures similar to that of plastoquinone can accept electrons from PSII. However, the molecular mechanism by which AEAs act on PSII is unclear. Here, we solved the crystal structure of PSII treated with three different AEAs, 2,5-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone, and 2-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone, at 1.95 to 2.10 A resolution. Our results show that all AEAs substitute for Q(B) and are bound to the Q(B)-binding site (Q(B) site) to receive electrons, but their binding strengths are different, resulting in differences in their efficiencies to accept electrons. The acceptor 2-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone binds most weakly to the Q(B) site and showed the highest oxygen-evolving activity, implying a reverse relationship between the binding strength and oxygen-evolving activity. In addition, a novel quinone-binding site, designated the Q(D) site, was discovered, which is located in the vicinity of Q(B) site and close to Q(C) site, a binding site reported previously. This Q(D) site is expected to play a role as a channel or a storage site for quinones to be transported to the Q(B) site. These results provide the structural basis for elucidating the actions of AEAs and exchange mechanism of Q(B) in PSII and also provide information for the design of more efficient electron acceptors.
