Department of Chemistry, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06511 Received June 14, 1985 abstract: The photochemistry in photosystem II of spinach has been characterized by electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR) spectroscopy in the temperature range of 77-235 K, and the yields of the photooxidized species have been determined by integration of theirEPR signals. In samples treated with 3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea (DCMU), a single stable charge separation occurred throughout the tem-perature range studied as reflected by the constant yield of the Fe (II)-QA-EPR signal. Threedistinct electron donation pathways were observed, however. Below 100 K, one molecule of cytochrome¿> 559 was photooxidized per reaction center. Between 100 and 200 K, cytochrome b559 and the Sj state competed for electron donation to P680+. Photooxidation of the St state occurred via two intermediates: the g= 4.1 EPR signal species first reported by Casey and Sauer [Casey, J. L, & Sauer, K.(1984) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 767, 21-28] was photooxidized between 100 and 160 K, and upon being warmed to 200 K in the dark, this EPR signal yielded the multiline EPR signal associated with the S2 state. Only the S, state donated electrons to P680+ at 200 K or above, giving rise to the light-induced S2-state multiline EPRsignal. These results demonstrate that the maximum S2-state multiline EPR signal accounts for 100% of the reaction center concentration. In samples where electrondonation from cytochrome b559 was prevented by chemical oxidation, illumination at 77 K produced a radical, probably a chlorophyll cation, which accounted for 95% of the reaction center concentration. This electron donor competed with the S3 state for electron donation to P680+ below 100 K. Chemical oxidation of cytochrome¿> 559, however, had no effect on the photooxidation of the g= 4.1 or multiline EPR signal species. Quantitation of the cytochrome b559 EPR signal produced by chemical oxidation showed that two molecules of cytochrome b559 are present per reaction center. The S2- S3 transition occurred in samples illuminated above 190 K. The g= 4.1 EPR signal was not detected, however, as an intermediate in the S2—S3 transition. We propose that the g= 4.1 and multiline EPR signals both arise from the same site in the S2 oxidation state and the spectroscopic differences reflect temperature-dependent structural changes in the Mn active site. e photooxidation ofH20 to 02 in plants, algae, and cya-nobacteria is catalyzed by the 02-evolving complex (OEC) 1 of photosystem II (PSII). The four oxidizingequivalents necessary for this process are created by successive charge separations in the PSII reaction center and stored stepwise in the OEC, which can exist in five intermediate oxidation states called S,·(t=0-4) states (Kok et al., 1970). The S0 and S, states are dark-stable and present in a ratio of 1: 3 in short-term dark-adapted thylakoid and PSII membranes (Forbush et al., 1971). Studies by Velthuys & Visser (1975), Vermaas et al.(1984), and Hanssum et al.(1985) indicate that long-term dark incubation changes the S0: S! ratio to essentially 0: 1. The mechanism for this process is not known, but it may involve reverse turnover of the OEC (Beck et al., 1985). The identities of the redox active sites are slowly being unraveled. The involvement of manganese in 02 evolution [for a review, see Amesz (1983)] and the discovery by Dismukes & Siderer (1981) of a multiline S2-state EPR signal, which is characteristic of an exchange-coupled manganese complex, suggest that the catalytic site the OEC mayconsist of as many as four manganese ions in close …
