Journal ArticleDOI
Multimeric and monomeric photosystem II supercomplexes represent structural adaptations to low- and high-light conditions.
Eunchul Kim,Eunchul Kim,Akimasa Watanabe,Akimasa Watanabe,Christopher D. P. Duffy,Alexander V. Ruban,Jun Minagawa,Jun Minagawa +7 more
TL;DR: Detailed characterization with fluorescence analysis revealed that multimeric forms have a higher light-harvesting capability but a lower thermal dissipation capability than the monomeric form, suggesting that the configurational conversion of PSII–LHCII supercomplexes may serve as a structural basis for acclimation of plants to environmental light.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red-edge position of habitable exoplanets around M-dwarfs.
Kenji Takizawa,Jun Minagawa,Motohide Tamura,Motohide Tamura,Nobuhiko Kusakabe,Norio Narita,Norio Narita +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated plausible red-edge position in terms of the light environment during the evolution of phototrophs on M-dwarf habitable exoplanets.
Journal ArticleDOI
The functional sites of chlorophylls in D1 and D2 subunits of photosystem II identified by pulsed EPR.
Asako Kawamori,Takaaki Ono,A. Ishii,S. Nakazawa,Hideyuki Hara,Tatsuya Tomo,Jun Minagawa,Robert Bittl,S. A. Dzuba +8 more
TL;DR: Spin polarized ESEEM (Electronin Spin Echo Envelop Modulation) of a 3Chl and QA− radical pair induced by a laser flash was observed in reaction center D1D2Cytb559 complex, in which QA was functionally reconstituted with DBMIB and reduced chemically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chloroplast acquisition without the gene transfer in kleptoplastic sea slugs, Plakobranchus ocellatus.
Taro Maeda,Shunichi Takahashi,Takao Yoshida,Shigeru Shimamura,Yoshihiro Takaki,Yukiko Nagai,Atsushi Toyoda,Yutaka Suzuki,Asuka Arimoto,Hisaki Ishii,Noriyuki Satoh,Tomoaki Nishiyama,Mitsuyasu Hasebe,Mitsuyasu Hasebe,Tadashi Maruyama,Jun Minagawa,Jun Minagawa,Junichi Obokata,Shuji Shigenobu,Shuji Shigenobu +19 more
TL;DR: This paper reported the genome of a kleptoplastic sea slug, Plakobranchus ocellatus, and found no evidence of photosynthetic genes encoded on the nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Characteristics of Photodamage to PSII in a High-Light-Sensitive Symbiodinium Phylotype.
Widiastuti Karim,Azadeh Seidi,Ross Hill,Wah Soon Chow,Jun Minagawa,Michio Hidaka,Shunichi Takahashi +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sensitivity of PSII to photodamage differs among Symbiodinium phylotypes and this determines their sensitivity to high light.
