- Photosystem II utilizes solar energy to drive electrons from the Mn cluster at the lumenal side to the quinone at the stromal side of the thylakoid membrane. The source of electrons is H2O, which is split to oxygen by the OEC. The water-splitting process involves cycling of the Mn-cluster through four semi-stable oxidation states, termed the S0, S1, S2, and S3 states. The OEC can be trapped in the different S-states, and studied by EPR techniques. The S2 state is often obtained by exposing a dark-adapted (S1 state) sample to continuous illumination at low temperature, or to a single flash of light at room temperature followed by freezing. Both procedures capture the S2 state, as reached by a single oxidation of the OEC following a period of dark-adaptation. With a laser flash procedure, the S2 state can be obtained a second time after 5 flashes, when the S-cycle has been completed once. We have discovered differences between the S2 state formed after one flash and the S2 state formed after five flashes, in terms of the relaxation behavior of the S2 multiline EPR signal. These data indicate a change within the Mn cluster that builds up during the first turnovers after dark-adaptation. Pulsed field-swept spectra of samples given 0-5 flashes of light show a similar trend: the S1 state obtained by zero and four flashes differ significantly from one another. Based on the data presented and similar reports in the literature, we propose that the OEC undergoes a light-adaptation process during the first two turnovers after dark-adaptation, adjusting the system for efficient continuous water-splitting. We tentatively suggest that light-adaptation involves rearrangements of the proton network in the OEC, possibly as a means of setting up proton channels.
