The photosystem I supercomplex from a primordial green alga Ostreococcus tauri harbors three light-harvesting complex trimers

A. Ishii, J. Shan, X. Sheng, E. Kim, A. Watanabe, M. Yokono, C. Noda, C. Song, K. Murata, Z. Liu, J. Minagawa

This paper reports the structure and function of the photosystem I supercomplex in Ostreococcus tauri, showing it assembles with light-harvesting complexes and exhibits reversible photoacclimation.
