In situ cryo-ET structure of phycobilisome-photosystem II supercomplex from red alga.
eLife 20210913
Phycobilisome (PBS) is the main light-harvesting antenna in cyanobacteria and red algae. How PBS transfers the light energy to photosystem II (PSII) remains to be elucidated. Here we report the in situ structure of the PBS-PSII supercomplex from <i>Porphyridium purpureum</i> UTEX 2757 using cryo-electron tomography and subtomogram averaging. Our work reveals the organized network of hemiellipsoidal PBS with PSII on the thylakoid membrane in the native cellular environment. In the PBS-PSII superc ...[more]
