Around photosystem II (PSII), the peripheral antenna system absorbs sunlight energy and transfers it to the core complex where the water-splitting and oxygen-evolving reaction takes place. The peripheral antennae in plants are composed of various light-harvesting complexes II (LHCII). Recently, the three-dimensional structure of the C2S2M2-type PSII-LHCII supercomplex from Pisum sativum (PsPSII) has been solved at 2.7-angstrom resolution using the single-particle cryo-electron microscopy method. The large homodimeric supercomplex has a total molecular weight of > 1400 kDa. Each monomer has a core complex surrounded by strongly and moderately bound LHCII trimers, as well as CP29, CP26, and CP24 monomers. Here, we review and present a detailed analysis of the structural features of this supramolecular machinery. Specifically, we discuss the structural differences around the oxygen-evolving center of PSII from different species. Furthermore, we summarize the existing knowledge of the structures and locations of peripheral antenna complexes, and dissect the excitation energy transfer pathways from the peripheral antennae to the core complex. This detailed high-resolution structural information provides a solid basis for understanding the functional behavior of plant PSII-LHCII supercomplex.
