One of the major LHCs are fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins (FCPs) present in diatoms, a group of organisms having important contribution to the global carbon cycle. Here, we report a 2.40-angstrom resolution structure of the diatom photosystem I (PSI)-FCPI supercomplex by cryo-electron microscopy. The supercomplex is composed of 16 different FCPI subunits surrounding a monomeric PSI core. Each FCPI subunit showed different protein structures with different pigment contents and binding sites, and they form a complicated pigment-protein network together with the PSI core to harvest and transfer the light energy efficiently. In addition, two unique, previously unidentified subunits were found in the PSI core. The structure provides numerous insights into not only the light-harvesting strategy in diatom PSI-FCPI but also evolutionary dynamics of light harvesters among oxyphototrophs. One of the major photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) are fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins (FCPs), which are present in diatoms, a major group of algae. Here, the authors present the cryo-EM structure of the photosystem I-FCP (PSI-FCPI) supercomplex isolated from the marine centric diatom Chaetoceros gracilis that contains 16 FCPI subunits surrounding the PSI core and discuss possible excitation energy transfer pathways. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagaoRyo en-aut-sei=Nagao en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoKoji en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=IfukuKentaro en-aut-sei=Ifuku en-aut-mei=Kentaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuzukiTakehiro en-aut-sei=Suzuki en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KumazawaMinoru en-aut-sei=Kumazawa en-aut-mei=Minoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=UchiyamaIkuo en-aut-sei=Uchiyama en-aut-mei=Ikuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KashinoYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Kashino en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=DohmaeNaoshi en-aut-sei=Dohmae en-aut-mei=Naoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkimotoSeiji en-aut-sei=Akimoto en-aut-mei=Seiji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShenJian-Ren en-aut-sei=Shen en-aut-mei=Jian-Ren kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyazakiNaoyuki en-aut-sei=Miyazaki en-aut-mei=Naoyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=AkitaFusamichi en-aut-sei=Akita en-aut-mei=Fusamichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Graduate School of Biostudies, Kyoto University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Biomolecular Characterization Unit, RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Faculty of Agriculture, Kyoto University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=National Institute for Basic Biology, National Institutes of Natural Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Graduate School of Life Science, University of Hyogo kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Biomolecular Characterization Unit, RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Graduate School of Science,Kobe University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= END
