Previously reported structures of the PSII-LHCII supercomplex of the green alga exhibit significant structural heterogeneity, but recently improved purification methods employing ionic amphipol A8-35 have enhanced supercomplex stability, providing opportunities for determining a more intact structure. Herein, we present a 5.8 Å cryo-EM map of the PSII-LHCII supercomplex containing six LHCII trimers (CSML). Utilizing a newly developed nonionic amphipol-based purification and stabilizing method, we purified the largest photosynthetic supercomplex to the highest percentage of the intact configuration reported to date. We found that the interprotein distances within the light-harvesting complex array in the green algal photosystem are larger than those previously observed in higher plants, indicating that the potential route of energy transfer in the PSII-LHCII supercomplex in green algae may be altered. Interestingly, we also observed an asymmetric PSII-LHCII supercomplex structure comprising CSML in the same sample. Moreover, we found a new density adjacent to the PSII core complex, attributable to a single-transmembrane helix. It was previously unreported in the cryo-EM maps of PSII-LHCII supercomplexes from land plants. |
