Abstract:
Photosynthetic water oxidation is catalyzed by the Mn 4 CaO 5 cluster of photosystem II (PSII) with linear progression through five S-state intermediates (S 0 to S 4 ). To reveal the mechanism of water oxidation, we analyzed structures of PSII in the S 1 , S 2 , and S 3 states by x-ray free-electron laser serial crystallography. No insertion of water was found in S 2 , but flipping of D1 Glu 189 upon transition to S 3 leads to the opening of a water channel and provides a space for incorporation of an additional oxygen ligand, resulting in an open cubane Mn 4 CaO 6 cluster with an oxyl/oxo bridge. Structural changes of PSII between the different S states reveal cooperative action of substrate water access, proton release, and dioxygen formation in photosynthetic water oxidation.
