Plastocyanin is an important copper-containing protein involved in photosynthesis by all higher plants and some algae namely by Enteromorpha prolifera. Plastocyanin extracted from this alga, was the first algal blue copper protein characterized by X-ray crystallography and one of the best characterized electron transfer protein of the photosynthetic apparatus. This protein was intensively studied between 1981 and 1994 because of these particular spectroscopic and electronic properties.

Plastocyanin extracted from this alga, was the first algal blue copper protein characterized by X-ray crystallography and one of the best characterized electron transfer protein of the photosynthetic apparatus. This protein was intensively studied between 1981 and 1994 because of these particular spectroscopic and electronic properties. The high resolution structural analysis by molecular replacement in 1989 provided an accurate description of the structure of this protein. [http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/002228369090269R J. Mol. Biol.] Plastocyanin is an electron donor localized in the intern membrane of thylakoïd in chloroplast. This is a monomeric protein with a single polypeptide chain of 98 amino acids and one copper atom. The molecular weight of plastocyanin is around 10,500 Daltons. | ||

Plastocyanin extracted from a Green Alga, Enteromorpha prolifera, has a '''β-sandwich structure''' as a slightly flattened cylinder with approximate dimensions 40 Å × 32 Å × 28 Å. [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v272/n5651/abs/272319a0.html Nature] This β-sandwich is composed of two β-sheets (I and II) separated by a hydrophobic core. Turns on the two β-sheets occur between residues 42 to 45 and 47 to 50. | |||
Seven strands (1 to 4 and 6 to 8) of the polypeptide backbone have substantial β character and contribute to the β-sheets. The 5 strand has no β character and formed a helical segment. | |||
The symmetry of this molecule related on an van der Waals’ bond on the northern loop between strands 3 and 4 the side-chain of Pro36 which contacts Gln 68. | |||
This plastocyanin includes important '''“acidic patch”''' which is localized between residues 59 to 61 and 42 to 45. [http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1432-1033.1986.tb09694.x/pdf Eur.J. Biochem.] | |||
This acidic patch is significant in electron transfer namely facilitating electrostatic recognition of her redox partner( see Role in Photosynthesis). | |||
This molecule has 111 solvent sites and 16 intermolecular hydrogen bonds. | |||
===Ligand=== | ===Ligand=== | ||
Ion copper in the oxidized state 2 + is localized at one end of the molecule, 6 Å below the surface. The copper atom is in the core of a hydrophobic patch composed of residues His-37, Cys-84, His-87 and Met-92. This copper binding site has a distorted trigonal pyramidal shape. The base of the pyramide is composed of one sulfur from a cysteine and two nitrogen atoms from two different histidins and the apex is formed by one sulfur from a methionin. The distortion occurs on the bond between the copper and the sulfur atom. | |||
Plastocyanin in the reduced form with ion copper in the form +1 has a different copper binding site shape. His-87 a residue of the hydrophobic patch will be protonated and the copper site has a trigonal planar structure. | |||

In the sunlight reaction, in photosynthesis, plastocyanin is an important electron donor to the Photosystem I (P700).Thanks to its hydrophobic surface, plastocyanin is localised in the intern membrane of the thylakoid in chloroplasts. Its redox potential, about 370 mV, has allowed to determine the place of plastocyanin in the electron transport chain (between the photosystem II and the photosystem I): between the cytochrome b<sub>6</sub>f complex and the | In the sunlight reaction, in photosynthesis, plastocyanin is an important electron donor to the Photosystem I (P700).Thanks to its hydrophobic surface, plastocyanin is localised in the intern membrane of the thylakoid in chloroplasts.
