Conformation of Light-Harvesting Complex II Trimer Depends upon Its Binding Site.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated conformational differences in light harvesting complex II (LHCII) trimers by comparing published structures of an identical LHCII trimer in the three different photosystem supercomplexes from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

The photosystem I supercomplex from a primordial green alga Ostreococcus tauri harbors three light-harvesting complex trimers
Asako Ishii,Jianyu Shan,Xin Sheng,Eunchul Kim,Akimasa Watanabe,Makio Yokono,Chiyo Noda,Chihong Song,Kazuyoshi Murata,Zhenfeng Liu,Jun Minagawa +10 more
TL;DR: The structure and function of the Ostreococcus tauri photosystem I (PSI) supercomplex in low light were reported in this article , where it expands its photon-absorbing capacity by assembling with the light-harvesting complexes I (LHCI) and a prasinophyte-specific light harvesting complex (Lhcp).
Journal ArticleDOI
Extracellular CahB1 from Sodalinema gerasimenkoae IPPAS B-353 Acts as a Functional Carboxysomal β-Carbonic Anhydrase in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803
Jun Minagawa,Marcel Dann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , the CahB1 enzyme of Sodalinema gerasimenkoae (formerly Microcoleus/Coleofasciculus chthonoplastes) was found to be a carboxysome-harboring and carbonic anhydrase (CA) active cell fraction.

Chloroplast acquisition without the gene transfer in kleptoplastic sea slugs, Plakobranchus ocellatus
Taro Maeda,Shunichi Takahashi,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,Junichi Obokata,Shuji Shigenobu,Shuji Shigenobu +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the genome of a kleptoplastic sea slug Plakobranchus ocellatus and found no evidence that photosynthetic genes are encoded on the nucleus.

Phosphorylation of light-harvesting complex II controls excitation energy spillover between photosystems
Ryutaro Tokutsu,Eunchul Kim,Seiji Akimoto,Makio Yokono,Konomi Fujimura-Kamada,Norikazu Ohnishi,Yoshifumi Ueno,Jun Minagawa +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the mechanism of energy balancing in a green alga and found that the spillover explains the larger extent of phospho-LHCIIs dependent energy balancing.
