Here we present cryo-EM structures of the native LH1-RC dimer and an LH1-RC monomer lacking protein-U (DeltaU). The native dimer reveals several asymmetric features including the arrangement of its two monomeric components, the structural integrity of protein-U, the overall organization of LH1, and rigidities of the proteins and pigments. PufX plays a critical role in connecting the two monomers in a dimer, with one PufX interacting at its N-terminus with another PufX and an LH1 beta-polypeptide in the other monomer. One protein-U was only partially resolved in the dimeric structure, signaling different degrees of disorder in the two monomers. The DeltaU LH1-RC monomer was half-moon-shaped and contained 11 alpha- and 10 beta-polypeptides, indicating a critical role for protein-U in controlling the number of alphabeta-subunits required for dimer assembly and stabilization. These features are discussed in relation to membrane topology and an assembly model proposed for the native dimeric complex.
