This process boosts adenosine triphosphate production, regardless of NADPH levels. In flowering plants, NDH forms a supercomplex with photosystem I, enhancing its stability under high light. We report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the NDH supercomplex in Spinacia oleracea at a resolution of 3.0-3.3 Å. The supercomplex consists of 41 protein subunits, 154 chlorophylls and 38 carotenoids. Subunit interactions are reinforced by 46 distinct lipids. The structure of NDH resembles that of mitochondrial complex I closely, including the quinol-binding site and an extensive internal aqueous passage for proton translocation. A well-resolved catalytic plastoquinone (PQ) occupies the PQ channel. The pronounced structural similarity to complex I sheds light on electron transfer and proton translocation within the NDH supercomplex. |
