Photoprotection in plants involves a change in lutein 1 binding domain in the major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II.
Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) is the fundamental process by which plants exposed to high light intensities dissipate the potentially harmful excess energy as heat. Recently, it has been shown that efficient energy dissipation can be induced in the major light-harvesting complexes of photosystem II (LHCII) in the absence of protein-protein interactions. Spectroscopic measurements on these sam...
متن کاملThe functional significance of the monomeric and trimeric states of the photosystem II light harvesting complexes.
The main light harvesting complex of photosystem II in plants, LHCII, exists in a trimeric state. To understand the biological significance of trimerization, a comparison has been made been LHCII trimers and LHCII monomers prepared by treatment with phospholipase. The treatment used caused no loss of chlorophyll, but there was a difference in carotenoid composition, together with the previously...
متن کاملModeling the NMR signatures associated with the functional conformational switch in the major light-harvesting antenna of photosystem II in higher plants.
The major photosystem II antenna complex, LHCII, possesses an intrinsic conformational switch linked to the formation of a photoprotective, excitation-quenching state. Recent solid state NMR experiments revealed that aggregation-induced quenching in (13)C-enriched LHCII from C. reinhardtii is associated with changes to the chemical shifts of three specific (13)C atoms in the Chla conjugated mac...
متن کاملDisentangling the low-energy states of the major light-harvesting complex of plants and their role in photoprotection.
The ability to dissipate large fractions of their absorbed light energy as heat is a vital photoprotective function of the peripheral light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes in photosystem II of plants. The major component of this process, known as qE, is characterised by the appearance of low-energy (red-shifted) absorption and fluorescence bands. Although the appearance of these red states...
متن کاملAn In Vivo Quantitative Comparison of Photoprotection in Arabidopsis Xanthophyll Mutants
Contribution of different LHCII antenna carotenoids to protective NPQ (pNPQ) were tested using a range of xanthophyll biosynthesis mutants of Arabidopsis: plants were either devoid of lutein (lut2), violaxanthin (npq2), or synthesized a single xanthophyll species, namely violaxanthin (aba4npq1lut2), zeaxanthin (npq2lut2), or lutein (chy1chy2lut5). A novel pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluores...
