A distinct LHCI arrangement is recruited to photosystem I in Fe-starved green algae. Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA, 122:e2500621122-e2500621122, 2025 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Iron (Fe) availability limits photosynthesis at a global scale where Fe-rich photosystem (PS) I abundance is drastically reduced in Fe-poor environments. We used single-particle cryoelectron microscopy to reveal a unique Fe starvation-dependent arrangement of light-harvesting chlorophyll (LHC) proteins where Fe starvation-induced TIDI1 is found in an additional tetramer of LHC proteins associated with PSI in and . These cosmopolitan green algae are resilient to poor Fe nutrition. TIDI1 is a distinct LHC protein that co-occurs in diverse algae with flavodoxin (an Fe-independent replacement for the Fe-containing ferredoxin). The antenna expansion in eukaryotic algae we describe here is reminiscent of the iron-starvation induced (encoding) antenna ring in cyanobacteria, which typically co-occurs with , encoding flavodoxin. Our work showcases the convergent strategies that evolved after the Great Oxidation Event to maintain PSI capacity.
