Proton exit pathways surrounding the oxygen evolving complex of photosystem II
Abstract
Photosystem II allows water to be the primary electron source for the photosynthetic electron transfer chain. Water is oxidized to dioxygen at the Oxygen Evolving Complex (OEC), a Mn4CaO5 inorganic core embedded on the lumen side of PSII. Water-filled channels surrounding the OEC must bring in substrate water molecules, remove the substrate protons to the lumen, and may transport the product oxygen. Three water-filled channels, denoted large, narrow, and broad, extend from the OEC towards the aqueous surface more than 15 Å away. However, the role of each pathway in the transport in and out of the OEC is yet to be established. Here, we combine Molecular Dynamics (MD), Multi Conformation Continuum Electrostatics (MCCE) and Network Analysis to compare and contrast the three potential proton transfer paths. Hydrogen bond network analysis shows that near the OEC the waters are highly interconnected with similar free energy for hydronium at all locations. The paths diverge as they move towards the lumen. The water chain in the broad channel is better connected than in the narrow and large channels, where disruptions in the network are observed approximately 10 Å from the OEC. In addition, the barrier for hydronium translocation is lower in themore »
