The Mn4Ca oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) in Photosystem II (PSII) is assembled in situ from free Mn2+, Ca2+, and water. In an early light-driven step, Mn2+ in a protein high-affinity site is oxidized to Mn3+. Using dual-mode electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, we observed that Mn3+ accumulation increases as chloride concentration increases in spinach PSII membranes depleted of all extrinsic subunits. At physiologically relevant pH values, this effect requires the presence of calcium. Here, when combined with pH studies, we conclude that the first Mn2+ oxidation event in OEC assembly requires a deprotonation that is facilitated by chloride.
