abstract = {Photosystem I (PSI) from the thermophilic cyanobacterium
Thermosynechococcus elongatus is a membrane-bound,
multipigment protein supercomplex. It converts light to
electrochemical energy with a quantum efficiency of almost
100 $\%.$ It reduces theluminal proteins plastocyanin and
cytochrome c6 (Cyt c6) to oxidize the stromalprotein
Ferredoxin. The structure of PSI has been solved in 2001 at
a resolution of 2,5 ˚A (Jordan et al. 2001). PSI can be
assembled on an electrode surface to produce photocurrents
and the generated electrons can be used for the production
of biofuels.The mitochondrial cytochrome c from horse heart
(Cyt cHH) binds strongly to both, PSI and the electrode
surface, and can therefore be applied to improve the
electrical coupling. Due to the practical use of the PSI-Cyt
c complex, the aim of my thesis isto characterize the
interaction of PSI with Cyt c6 and the analog Cyt cHH. To
this end, the binding of both cytochromes to PSI was
analyzed by kinetic, calorimetric, theory-based and
structural methods.Cyt c6 binds to PSI while being reduced
and decreases its affinity after transferring its electron.
In contrast, Cyt cHH binds to PSI in both oxidation states,
reduced and oxidized, with identical affinity. By means of
kinetic measurements, I identified condi-tions in which PSI
forms a stable complex with either of the two cytochromes.
The posi-tions of the cytochrome binding sites at PSI were
calculated by a rigid-body docking.For the calculation with
Cyt c6, the majority of the potential binding sites are
located at the luminal side of PSI, close to P700. The
theoretic properties of one of these bindingsites are in
good agreement with my own kinetic measurements and
literature data.The position and orientation of Cyt c6 in
this theoretic binding site is almost iden-tical to the
localization of Cyt c2 in cocrystals with the bacterial
reaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The potential
Cyt cHH binding sites are uniformly distri-buted over the
luminal surface of PSI. Still, cocrystals consisting of PSI
and Cyt cHH in a 1 : 1 ratio were produced. The crystal
structure was solved to a resolution of 3,4 ˚A,however, no
electron density corresponding to Cyt cHH was found. To
verify the PSI-Cyt c6 complex, the two proteins were
crosslinked and the structure was solved by cryo electron
microscopy (cryo-EM) to a resolution of 2,9 ˚A. No density
correspondingto Cyt c6 is present in the cryo-EM
reconstruction, but masked classification revealed3D
classes containing additional density at the luminal surface
of PSI. The cryo-EM structure reveals density of five
additional cofactors and the flexible subunit PsaK. For the
analysis of electron transport processes, serial femtosecond
crystallography (SFX) was used. Datasets were measured for
PSI crystals without cytochromes at resolutions of 2,75 ˚A
(oxidized), 3,4 ˚A (reduced, dark adapted) and 3,4 ˚A (100
ns after light flash).Additionally, a protocol for the
production of PSI-Cyt cHH cocrystals, suitable for the
measurement by the SFX-method, was designed. With the
crystal structure, the cryo-EM-structure and the
SFX-structure, three high resolution structures from the
same PSI-protein are now available. The differences between
these structures are discussed in respect to their
influence on the function of PSI.},
