Orientations of the FAand FBiron–sulfur (FeS) clusters in a structure-unknown type-I homodimeric heriobacterial reaction center (hRC) were studied in oriented membranes of the thermophilic anaerobic photosynthetic bacteriumHeliobacterium modesticaldumby electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and compared with those in heterodimeric photosystem I (PS I). The Rieske-type FeS center in the cytochromeb/ccomplex showed a well-oriented EPR signal. Illumination at 14 K induced an FB–signal withg-axes ofgz= 2.066,gy= 1.937, andgx= 1.890, tilted at angles of 60°, 60°, and 45°, respectively, with respect to the membrane normal. Chemical reduction with dithionite produced an additional signal of FA–, which magnetically interacted with FB–, withgz= 2.046,gy= 1.942, andgx= 1.911 at 30°, 60°, and 90°, respectively. The angles and redox properties of FA–and FB–in hRC resemble those of FB–and FA–, respectively, in PS I. Therefore, FAand FBin hRC, named after theirg-value similarities, seem to be located like FBand FA, not like FAand FB, respectively, in PS I. The reducing side of hRC could resemble those in PS I, if the names of FAand FBare interchanged with each other.
