Revised Manuscript Received March 9, 1994® abstract: PsaE is a 69 amino acid polypeptide from photosystem I present on the stromal side of the thylakoid membrane. The three-dimensional solution structure of this protein from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC7002 was determined at pH 5.8 and room temperature using over 900 experimental restraints derived from two-and three-dimensional NMR experiments. The structure is comprised of a well-defined five-stranded/3-sheet with (+ 1,+ 1,+ 1,-4x) topology. There is no helical region except for a single turn of 3i0 helix between the/3D and/3E strands. PsaE also exhibits a large unrestrained loop spanning residues 42-56. A comparison to known protein structures revealed similarity with the Src homology 3 (SH3) domain, a membrane-associated protein involved in signal transduction in eukaryotes. The match is remarkable as 47 of the a-carbons of PsaE can be superimposed onto those of the SH3 domainfrom chicken brain a-spectrin with a root-mean-square deviation of 2.3 A. Although the amino acid sequences have low identity and the loops are different in both proteins, the topology of the/3-sheet andthe 3i0 turn is conserved. SH3 domains from other sources show a similar structural homology. The structure of PsaE was used to suggest approaches for elucidating its roles within photosystem I.The photosystem I (PS I) 1 reaction center of higher plants, eukaryotic algae, and the prokaryotic cyanobacteria acts as a light-driven oxidoreductase. PS I utilizes the energy of a single red photon (1.8 eV) to drive the energetically unfavorable reduction of oxidized ferredoxin (Em=
