SUMMARY Diazotrophic cyanobacteria represent a unique group of prokaryotes that are capable of performing two physiologically conflicting processes: oxygen-generating photosynthesis and oxygen-sensitive nitrogen fixation. Adaptive evolution over millions of years has culminated in two complex, divergent strategies—spat...

Iron-stress-induced protein A (IsiA) is a chlorophyll (Chl) a-containing protein in cyanobacteria. Under low-iron growth, it is the most abundant intracellular Chl a-binding protein. IsiA and the CP43 protein are suggested to have coevolved from a common ancestral protein, sharing similar spectroscopic properties. When...

Analysis of energetic properties of gel-embedded supercomplexes demonstrated that excitation energy transfer in the IsiA-PsaL complex is highly efficient, suggesting enhanced efficiency may be a key factor underlying the downsizing of the IsiA-PSI assembly, which could compensate for the smaller size of the complex.

The structure and oligomeric states of the photosystem I–iron stress–induced protein A (PSI-IsiA) supercomplex from several species have been investigated using cryo–electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and atomic force microscopy. The cryo-EM structure of the PSI-IsiA complex from cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (7120)...
