  • Identification of the mobile light-harvesting complex II polypeptides for state transitions in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

    State transition in photosynthesis is a short-term balancing mechanism of energy distribution between photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII). When PSII is preferentially excited (state 2), a pool of mobile light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) antenna proteins is thought to migrate from PSII to PSI, but biochemical evidence for a physical association between LHCII proteins and PSI in state 2 is weak. Here, using the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which has a high capacity for state transitions, we report the isolation of PSI-light-harvesting complex I (LHCI) super-complexes from cells locked into state 1 and state 2. We solubilized the thylakoid membranes with a mild detergent, separated the proteins by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and subjected gradient fractions to gel-filtration chromatography. Three LHCII polypeptides were associated with a PSI-LHCI supercomplex only in state 2; we identified them as two minor monomeric LHCII proteins (CP26 and CP29) and one previously unreported major LHCII protein type II, or LhcbM5. These three LHCII proteins, in addition to the major trimeric LHCII proteins, were phosphorylated upon transition to state 2. The corresponding phylogenetic tree indicates that among the LHCII proteins associated with PSII, these three LHCII proteins are the most similar to the LHC proteins for PSI (LHCI). Our results are important because CP26, CP29, and LhcbM5, which have been viewed as belonging solely to the PSII complex, are now postulated to shuttle between PSI and PSII during state transitions, thereby acting as docking sites for the trimeric LHCII proteins in both PSI and PSII.

    Non photochemical quenching (NPQ) is important short-term acclimation in response to high light conditions. Cyanobacteria have Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) that quenches excessive light energy as heat. We generated the OCP-deficient and OCP-overexpressed strains. OCP-overexpressed strain showed high NPQ level and tolerance to photoinhibition of photosystem II. Additionally, de novo synthesis of photosystem II protein, D1, was enhanced and also the production of singlet oxygen that inhibits the elongation of translation, was decreased in the overexppressed strain. We concluded that larger extent of NPQ should suppress the production of singlet oxygen via quenching the excitation energy and the elongation process should be protected, resulting in alleviated photo inhibition of photosystem II. This study was published in Plant Cell and Physiology (2019) 60, 367-375.
