General annotation (Comments)

Function

Apoprotein for the two 4Fe-4S centers FA and FB of photosystem I (PSI); essential for photochemical activity. FB is the terminal electron acceptor of PSI, donating electrons to ferredoxin. The C-terminus interacts with psaA/B/D and helps assemble the protein into the PSI complex. Required for binding of psaD and psaE to PSI. 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. Ref.1

Catalytic activity

Reduced plastocyanin + oxidized ferredoxin + light = oxidized plastocyanin + reduced ferredoxin. HAMAP MF_01303

Cofactor

Binds 2 4Fe-4S clusters. Cluster 2 is most probably the spectroscopically characterized electron acceptor FA and cluster 1 is most probably FB.

Subunit structure

The eukaryotic PSI reaction center is composed of at least 11 subunits By similarity.

Subcellular location

Plastidchloroplast thylakoid membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Stromal side By similarity HAMAP MF_01303.

Sequence similarities

Contains 2 4Fe-4S ferredoxin-type domains.

Experimental info

Mutagenesis91D → K or N: No effect. Ref.5 Ref.7
Mutagenesis121I → V: 60-fold increase in affinity of PSI for ferredoxin; when associated with 15-KR-16. Unable to grow photoautotrophically. Ref.5 Ref.7
Mutagenesis15 – 162TQ → KR: 60-fold increase in affinity of PSI for ferredoxin; when associated with V-12. Unable to grow photoautotrophically. Ref.5
Mutagenesis351K → D or E: Drastically decreases affinity of PSI for ferredoxin, limits photoautotrophic growth at medium and greater light. Decreases cross-linking of ferredoxin to PSI-D and PSI-E. Ref.5 Ref.6
Mutagenesis351K → T: Drastically decreases affinity of PSI for ferredoxin. Decreases cross-linking of ferredoxin to PSI-D and PSI-E. Ref.5 Ref.6
Mutagenesis461E → K or Q: No effect. Ref.5 Ref.7
Mutagenesis491V → I: Leads to partial destabilization of PSI; when associated with 52-TQ-53, alters the FA center. Unable to grow photoautotrophically. Ref.5 Ref.7
Mutagenesis52 – 532KR → SA: Preferentially reduces FB, accumulates 20-30% PSI, 25% of which is damaged. Grows photoautotrophically under low light. Ref.5
Mutagenesis52 – 532KR → TQ: Leads to partial destabilization of PSI; when associated with I-49. Alters the FA center. Unable to grow photoautotrophically. Ref.5
