In photosynthesis, the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of the pigment-protein complex photosystem II (PSII) orchestrates the oxidation of water. Introduction of the V185N mutation into the D1 protein was previously reported to drastically slow O-2-release and strongly perturb the water network surrounding the Mn4Ca cluster. Employing time-resolved membrane inlet mass spectrometry, we measured here the (H2O)-O-18/(H2O)-O-16-exchange kinetics of the fast (W-f) and slow (W-s) exchanging substrate waters bound in the S-1, S-2 and S-3 states to the Mn4Ca cluster of PSII core complexes isolated from wild type and D1 -V185N strains of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. We found that the rate of exchange for W-s was increased in the S-1 and S-2 states, while both W-f and W-s exchange rates were decreased in the S-3 state. Additionally, we used EPR spectroscopy to characterize the Mn4Ca cluster and its interaction with the redox active D1-Tyr161 (Y-Z). In the S-2 state, we observed a greatly diminished multiline signal in the V185N-PSII that could be recovered by addition of ammonia. The split signal in the Si state was not affected, while the split signal in the S-3 state was absent in the D1-V185N mutant. These findings are rationalized by the proposal that the N185 residue stabilizes the binding of an additional water-derived ligand at the Mn1 site of the Mn4Ca cluster via hydrogen bonding. Implications for the sites of substrate water binding are discussed.
