Among known PBS morphologies, the one from the basal cyanobacterial genus still lacks detailed structural characterization. Here, we reconstructed a cryo-electron microscopy structure of the >10-megadalton PBS, with diverging, conformationally mobile bundles of rods composed of stacked phycoerythrin and phycocyanin hexamers, stemming from a pentacylindrical allophycocyanin core belted by auxiliary phycocyanin hexamers. We show how two -specific multidomain linker proteins, Glr1262 and Glr2806, maintain this bundle-shaped architecture and reveal its differential regulation via nonphotochemical quenching by two OCP types of that recognize separate binding sites within the allophycocyanin core, including lateral cylinders absent in tricylindrical cores. |
