AB - The multi-subunit photosystem II (PSII) pigment-protein complex found in plants, algae and cyanobacteria is nature’s biological catalyst for producing oxygen from water. PSII needs sunlight to drive water oxidation but too much light can cause irreversible damage to pigments and proteins within PSII and loss of enzyme activity. Damaged PSII complexes can, however, be repaired in a highly selective process involving the replacement of damaged components by newly synthesized copies and the recycling of undamaged protein subunits and co-factors. Although substantial progress has been made to identify the enzymes and accessory factors involved in repair, many fundamental questions remain unanswered. In this chapter we discuss recent ideas on how the damaged D1 reaction center subunit, which is the subunit most prone to damage in PSII, is specifically recognized for replacement. Detachment of CP43 allowing access by FtsH proteases to the N-terminal tail of D1 seems to underpin selective degradation.
