This study compared the biochemical properties of photosystem (PS) supercomplexes isolated from diatom cells grown under low light or high light conditions. High light acclimation altered the molecular characteristics of PS and led to changes in a specific group of proteins. These findings provide new insights into the adaptability of diatoms to different environments and the mechanisms of photoprotection.
In diatoms, light-harvesting processes take place in a specific group of proteins, called fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/ c proteins (FCP). This group includes many members and represents the major characteristic of the diatom photosynthetic apparatus, with specific pigments bound (chlorophyll c, fucoxanthin, diadino- and diatoxanthin besides chlorophyll a). In thylakoids, FCP and photosystems (PS) form multimeric supercomplexes.In this study, we compared the biochemical properties of PS supercomplexes isolated from Thalassiosira pseudonana cells grown under low light or high light conditions, respectively. High light acclimation changed the molecular features of the PS and their ratio in thylakoids. In PSII, no obvious changes in polypeptide composition were observed, whereas for PSI changes in one specific group of FCP proteins were detected. As reported before, the amount of xanthophyll cycle pigments and their de-epoxidation ratio was increased in PSI under HL. In PSII, however, no additional xanthophyll cycle pigments occurred, but the de-epoxidation ratio was increased as well. This comparison suggests how mechanisms of photoprotection might take place within and in the proximity of the PS, which gives new insights into the capacity of diatoms to adapt to different conditions and in different environments.
