Reduction of ferredoxin by photosystem I (PSI) involves the [4Fe-4S] clusters F-A and F-B harbored by PsaC, with F-B being the direct electron transfer partner of ferredoxin (Fd). Binding of the redox-inactive gallium ferredoxin to PSI was investigated by flash-absorption spectroscopy, studying both the P700(+) decay and the reduction of the native iron Fd in the presence of Fd(Ga). Fd(Ga) binding resulted in a faster recombination between P700(+) and (F-A, F-B)(-), a slower electron escape from (F-A, F-B)(-) to exogenous acceptors, and a decreased amount of intracomplex Fd(Fe) reduction, in accordance with competitive binding between Fd(Fe) and Fd(Ga). [Fd(Ga)] titrations of these effects revealed that the dissociation constant for the PSI:Fd(Ga) complex is different whether (F-A, F-B) is oxidized or singly reduced. This difference in binding, together with the increase in the recombination rate, could both be attributed to a c. -30 mV shift of the midpoint potential of (F-A, F-B), considered as a single electron acceptor, due to Fd(Ga) binding. This effect of Fd(Ga) binding, which can be extrapolated to Fd(Fe) because of the highly similar structure and the identical charge of the two Fds, should help irreversibility of electron transfer within the PSI:Fd complex. The effect of Fd binding on the individual midpoint potentials of F-A and F-B is also discussed with respect to the possible consequences on intra-PSI electron transfer and on the escape process.
