A distinct double-ring LH1–LH2 photocomplex from an extremophilic phototroph

The major photosynthetic apparatus of purple phototrophic bacteria comprises two distinct complexes: the light-harvesting (LH) complex and the reaction center (RC). Here, the authors report a cryo-EM structure of a distinct conjoined LH1–LH2 complex from extremophile Hlr. halophila.

Crystal structure of a photosynthetic LH1-RC in complex with its electron donor HiPIP

The high potential iron-sulfur (HiPIP) proteins are direct electron donors to the light-harvesting-reaction center complexes (LH1-RC) in photosynthetic β- and γ-Proteobacteria. Here, the authors present the 2.9 Å crystal structure of the HiPIP-bound LH1-RC complex from the thermophilic purple sulfur bacterium Thermochromatium tepidum and discuss mechanistic implications for the electron transfer pathway.

A previously unrecognized membrane protein in the Rhodobacter sphaeroides LH1-RC photocomplex

Rhodobacter (Rba.) sphaeroides is a model organism for studying bacterial photosynthesis. Here, the authors present the 2.9 Å cryo-EM structure of the monomeric light-harvesting-reaction center core complex from Rba. sphaeroides strain IL106, which revealed the position and conformation of PufX and the presence of an additional component protein-U, an integral membrane protein.

Structure of the LH1–RC complex from Thermochromatium tepidum at 3.0 Å

The near-atomic-level structure of a complete bacterial light-harvesting antenna–reaction centre (LH1–RC) complex is described here; the structure reveals how energy is transferred from the LH1 to the RC in a highly efficient way and suggests how ubiquinone might cross a closed LH1 barrier.
