Flash-induced absorption changes in the Soret region arising from the [PD1PD2]+state, the chlorophyll cation radical formed upon light excitation of Photosystem II (PSII), were measured in Mn-depleted PSII cores at pH 8.6. Under these conditions, TyrDisi) reduced before the first flash, andii) oxidized before subsequent flashes. In wild-type PSII, when TyrD●is present, an additional signal in the [PD1PD2]+-minus-[PD1PD2] difference spectrum was observed when compared to the first flash when TyrDis not oxidized. The additional feature was “W-shaped” with troughs at 434 nm and 446 nm. This feature was absent when TyrDwas reduced, but was present (i) when TyrDwas physically absent (and replaced by phenylalanine) or (ii) when its H-bonding histidine (D2-His189) was physically absent (replaced by a Leucine). Thus, the simple difference spectrum without the double trough feature at 434 nm and 446 nm, seemed to require the native structural environment around the reduced TyrDand its H bonding partners to be present. We found no evidence of involvement of PD1, ChlD1, PheD1, PheD2, TyrZ, and the Cytb559heme in the W-shaped difference spectrum. However, the use of a mutant of the PD2axial His ligand, the D2-His197Ala, shows that the PD2environment seems involved in the formation of “W-shaped” signal.
