Photosystem II (PSII) contains two accessory chlorophylls (ChlZ, ligated to D1-His118, and ChlD, ligated to D2-His117), carotenoid (Car), and heme (cytochromeb559) cofactors that function as alternate electron donors under conditions in which the primary electron-donation pathway from the O2-evolving complex to P680+is inhibited. The photooxidation of the redox-active accessory chlorophylls and Car has been characterized by near-infrared (near-IR) absorbance, shifted-excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy over a range of cryogenic temperatures from 6 to 120 K in bothSynechocystisPSII core complexes and spinach PSII membranes. The following key observations were made: (1) only one Chl+near-IR band is observed at 814 nm inSynechocystisPSII core complexes, which is assigned to ChlZ+based on previous spectroscopic studies of the D1-H118Q and D2-H117Q mutants [Stewart, D. H., Cua, A., Chisholm, D. A., Diner, B. A., Bocian, D. F., and Brudvig, G. W. (1998)Biochemistry 37, 10040−10046]; (2) two Chl+near-IR bands are observed at 817 and 850 nm in spinach PSII membranes which are formed with variable relative yields depending on the illumination temperature and are assigned to ChlZ+, and ChlD+, respectively; (3) the Chl and Car cation radicals have significantly different stabilities at reduced temperatures with Car+decaying much faster; (4) inSynechocystisPSII core complexes, Car+decays by recombination with QA-and not by ChlZ/ChlDoxidation, with multiphasic kinetics that are attributed to an ensemble of protein conformers that are trapped as the protein is frozen; and (5) in spinach PSII membranes, Car+decays mainly by recombination with QA-, but also partly by formation of the 850 nm Chl cation radical. The greater stability of ChlZ+at low temperatures enabled us to confirm that resonance Raman bands previously assigned to ChlZ+are correctly assigned. In addition, the formation and decay of these cations provide insight into the alternate electron-donation pathways to P680+.
