The review summarizes recent results on the assembly and repair of PSII in cyanobacteria, which are excellent model organisms to study higher plant photosynthesis. Assembly of PSII is highly co-ordinated and proceeds through a number of distinct assembly intermediates. The repair of PSII involves partial disassembly of the damaged complex, the selective replacement of the damaged sub-unit (predominantly the D1 sub-unit) by a newly synthesized copy, and reassembly. A model is proposed in which damaged D1is removed by a hetero-oligomeric FtsH complex with degradation proceeding from the N-terminus of D1
