In situ structures of plant photosystem supercomplexes - Nature

Report on in situ cryo-EM structures of plant photosystem supercomplexes revealing native assemblies and membrane interactions informing photosynthetic architecture.

Key Takeaways
  • Although structures of isolated photosystems are available, their native organization in chloroplasts remains unknown
  • We resolved a C 2 S 2 M 2 L 4 -type PSII–light harvesting complex II (LHCII)
  • In addition, we obtained high-resolution structures of PSI–LHCI–LHCII and PSI–LHCI supercomplexes
