The larger protein complexes of the cyanobacterial photosynthetic membrane of Thermosynechoccus elongatus and Synechocystis 6803 were studied by single particle electron microscopy after detergent solubilization, without any purification steps. Besides the "standard" L-shaped NDH-1L complex, related to complex 1, large numbers of a U-shaped NDH-1MS complex were found in both cyanobacteria. In membranes from Synechocystis Delta cupA and Delta cupAlcupB mutants the U-shaped complexes were absent, indicating that CupA is responsible for the U-shape by binding at the tip of the membrane-bound arm of NDH-1MS. Comparison of membranes grown under air levels Of CO2 or 3'/0 CO2 indicates that the number of NDH-1MS particles is 30-fold higher under low-CO2.
