The manganese complex (Mn-4) which is responsible For water oxidation in photosystem II is EPR detectable in the S-2 state, one of the five redox states of the enzyme cycle. The S-2 State is observable at 10 K either as a multiline signal (spin 1/2) or as a signal at g = 4.1 (spin 3/2 or spin 5/2). It is shown here that at around 150 K the state responsible for the multiline signal is converted to that responsible for the g = 4.1 signal upon the absorption of infrared light, This conversion is fully reversible at 200 K. The action spectrum of this conversion has its maximum at 820 nm (12 200 cm(-1)) and is similar to the intervalence charge transfer band in di-mu-oxo-((MnMnIV)-Mn-III) model systems, It is suggested that the conversion of the multiline signal to the g = 4.1 signal results from absorption of infrared light by the Mn cluster itself, resulting in electron transfer from Mn-III to Mn-IV. The g = 4.1 signal is thus proposed to arise from a state which differs from that which gives rise to the multiline signal only in terms of this change in its valence distribution. The near-infrared light effect was observed in the S-2 state Of Sr2+-reconstituted photosystem II and in Ca2+-depleted, EGTA (or citrate-)-treated photosystem II but not in ammonia-treated photosystem II. Earlier results in the literature which showed that the g = 4.1 state was preferentially formed by illumination at 130 K are reinterpreted as being the result of two photochemical events: the first being photosynthetic charge separation resulting in an S-2 State which gives rise to the multiline signal and the second being the conversion of this state to the g = 4.1 state due to the simultaneous and inadvertent presence of 820 nm light in the broad-band illumination given. There is therefore no reason to consider the state responsible for the g = 4.1 signal as a precursor of that which gives rise to the multiline signal.
