[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/A0A0X8X829_HALHR A0A0X8X829_HALHR] The reaction center of purple bacteria contains a tightly bound cytochrome molecule which re-reduces the photo oxidized primary electron donor.[ARBA:ARBA00003196][PIRNR:PIRNR000017]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Halorhodospira (Hlr.) halochloris is a triply extremophilic phototrophic purple sulfur bacterium, as it is thermophilic, alkaliphilic, and extremely halophilic. The light-harvesting-reaction center (LH1-RC) core complex of this bacterium displays an LH1-Q(y) transition at 1,016 nm, which is the lowest-energy wavelength absorption among all known phototrophs. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of the LH1-RC at 2.42 A resolution. The LH1 complex forms a tricyclic ring structure composed of 16 alphabetagamma-polypeptides and one alphabeta-heterodimer around the RC. From the cryo-EM density map, two previously unrecognized integral membrane proteins, referred to as protein G and protein Q, were identified. Both of these proteins are single transmembrane-spanning helices located between the LH1 ring and the RC L-subunit and are absent from the LH1-RC complexes of all other purple bacteria of which the structures have been determined so far. Besides bacteriochlorophyll b molecules (B1020) located on the periplasmic side of the Hlr. halochloris membrane, there are also two arrays of bacteriochlorophyll b molecules (B800 and B820) located on the cytoplasmic side. Only a single copy of a carotenoid (lycopene) was resolved in the Hlr. halochloris LH1-alpha3beta3 and this was positioned within the complex. The potential quinone channel should be the space between the LH1-alpha3beta3 that accommodates the single lycopene but does not contain a gamma-polypeptide, B800 and B820. Our results provide a structural explanation for the unusual Q(y) red shift and carotenoid absorption in the Hlr. halochloris spectrum and reveal new insights into photosynthetic mechanisms employed by a species that thrives under the harshest conditions of any phototrophic microorganism known.
