Light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (POR, E.C. 1.3.1.33) is a plant enzyme that directly needs light to conduct a biochemical reaction. In the present paper we confirmed that POR forms large oligomers in solution before binding of substrates. We carried out the research using different techniques: cross-linking, native gel electrophoresis and FRET measurements. Mass spectrometry analysis of the cross-link products provided the first structural data about the organisation of the oligomer of POR. The results indicated that the catalytic motifs of the adjacent subunits become close to each other upon binding of substrates. Moreover, we identified two mutations of POR that disturbed its oligomerisation properties: Delta 85-88 and Delta 240-270. Additionally, a complete loss of the catalytic activity was observed for the following mutations: Delta 189-194, Delta 240-270, Delta 318-331 and Delta 392-393. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
