The role of N-terminus and the C-terminus region of the cryptochrome is given below;

a) N-terminal region is involved in the dimerization of cryptochrome and conformational changes

b) C terminus of cryptochrome forms a complex with SPA1 and COP1 that prevents them from acting, thereby preventing the degradation of HY5

c) N-terminal region of cryptochrome forms a complex with SPA1 and COP1 that prevents them from acting, thereby preventing the degradation of HY5

d) Arabidopsis plants overexpressing only the C-terminal region of cryptochrome (CCT) which resemble light-grown seedlings when grown in darkness

Some herbicides such as dichlorophenyldimethylurea (DCMU, also known as diuron) and paraquat, block photosynthetic electron flow from where ?

a.) DCMU blocks electron flow at the quinone acceptors of PSII, by competing for the binding site of plastoquinone that is normally occupied by PQB

b.) Paraquat accepts electrons from the early acceptors of PSI and then reacts with oxygen to form superoxide, O2 – , a species that is very damaging to chloroplast components

c.) DCMU blocks electron flow at the pheophytin acceptors of PSII, by competing for the binding site of pheophytin

d.) Paraquat accepts electrons from the Iron-sulfur system of PSI and then reacts with oxygen to form superoxide, O2 – , a species that is very damaging to chloroplast components

The detailed chemical mechanism of the oxidation of water to O2 is not yet well understood, but with structural information shows_one electron carrier, generally identified as Yz, functions between the oxygen-evolving complex and P680 to function in this region, Yz needs to have a very strong tendency to retain its electrons, this species has been identified as;
