“…S6). A Regulatory Role for H 2 O 2 in Activation of CEF? Regulation of CEF likely involves distinct processes in different species (e.g., green algal and plant chloroplasts use different plastoquinone reductases) (14,62). Recent work by Takahashi et al (19) and Lucker and Kramer (22) suggests that CEF in Chlamydomonas is regulated by changes in stromal redox status that result from imbalances in the supply and demand for NADPH relative to ATP.…”

Cyclic electron flow (CEF) around photosystem I is thought to balance the ATP/NADPH energy budget of photosynthesis, requiring that its rate be finely regulated. The mechanisms of this regulation are not well understood. We observed that mutants that exhibited constitutively high rates of CEF also showed elevated production of H 2 O 2 . We thus tested the hypothesis that CEF can be activated by H 2 O 2 in vivo. CEF was strongly increased by H 2 O 2 both by infiltration or in situ production by chloroplastlocalized glycolate oxidase, implying that H 2 O 2 can activate CEF either directly by redox modulation of key enzymes, or indirectly by affecting other photosynthetic processes. CEF appeared with a half time of about 20 min after exposure to H 2 O 2 , suggesting activation of previously expressed CEF-related machinery. H 2 O 2 -dependent CEF was not sensitive to antimycin A or loss of PGR5, indicating that increased CEF probably does not involve the PGR5-PGRL1 associated pathway. In contrast, the rise in CEF was not observed in a mutant deficient in the chloroplast NADPH:PQ reductase (NDH), supporting the involvement of this complex in CEF activated by H 2 O 2 . We propose that H 2 O 2 is a missing link between environmental stress, metabolism, and redox regulation of CEF in higher plants. I n oxygenic photosynthesis, linear electron flow (LEF) is the process by which light energy is captured to drive the extraction of electrons and protons from water and transfer them through a system of electron carriers to reduce NADPH. LEF is coupled to proton translocation into the thylakoid lumen, generating an electrochemical gradient of protons ðΔμ H +Þ or proton motive force (pmf). The pmf drives the synthesis of ATP to power the reactions of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle and other essential metabolic processes in the chloroplast. The pmf is also a key regulator of photosynthesis in that it activates the photoprotective q E response to dissipate excess light energy and downregulates electron transfer by controlling the rate of oxidation of plastoquinol at the cytochrome b 6 f complex (b 6 f), thus preventing the buildup of reduced intermediates (1, 2).LEF results in the transfer or deposition into the lumen of three protons for each electron transferred through PSII, plastoquinone (PQ), b 6 f, plastocyanin, and photosystem I (PSI) to ferredoxin (Fd). The synthesis of one ATP is thought to require the passage of 4.67 protons through the ATP synthase, so that LEF should produce a ratio of ATP/NADPH of about 1.33; this ratio is too low to sustain the CBB cycle or supply ATP required for translation, protein transport, or other ATP-dependent processes (3). In addition, the relative demands for ATP and NADPH can change dramatically depending on environmental, developmental, and other factors, leading to rapid energy imbalances that require dynamical regulation of ATP/NADPH balance.Several alternative electron flow pathways in the chloroplast have been proposed to augment ATP production, thus balancing the ATP/NADPH ...

“…Another possible explanation is the activity of a compensatory process that reduces the effect on the Ndh complex function in the green tissues (in the case of the heterozygous) and in the mature fruit (in the case of the homozygous). Such a mechanism could be related to other alternative electron pathways, such as those involving PGR5/PGRL1 (Munekage et al, 2002;DalCorso et al, 2008), NDH-2 [a type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenase; Corneille et al, 1998;Desplats et al, 2009], and/or ferredoxin NADPH reductase (Zhang et al, 2001).…”

An Orange Ripening Mutant Links Plastid NAD(P)H Dehydrogenase Complex Activity to Central and Specialized Metabolism during Tomato Fruit Maturation

In higher plants, the plastidial NADH dehydrogenase (Ndh) complex supports nonphotochemical electron fluxes from stromal electron donors to plastoquinones. Ndh functions in chloroplasts are not clearly established; however, its activity was linked to the prevention of the overreduction of stroma, especially under stress conditions. Here, we show by the characterization of Orr Ds , a dominant transposon-tagged tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) mutant deficient in the NDH-M subunit, that this complex is also essential for the fruit ripening process. Alteration to the NDH complex in fruit changed the climacteric, ripening-associated metabolites and transcripts as well as fruit shelf life. Metabolic processes in chromoplasts of ripening tomato fruit were affected in Orr Ds , as mutant fruit were yellow-orange and accumulated substantially less total carotenoids, mainly b-carotene and lutein. The changes in carotenoids were largely influenced by environmental conditions and accompanied by modifications in levels of other fruit antioxidants, namely, flavonoids and tocopherols. In contrast with the pigmentation phenotype in mature mutant fruit, Orr Ds leaves and green fruits did not display a visible phenotype but exhibited reduced Ndh complex quantity and activity. This study therefore paves the way for further studies on the role of electron transport and redox reactions in the regulation of fruit ripening and its associated metabolism.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii PsbS Protein Is Functional and Accumulates Rapidly and Transiently under High Light

Photosynthetic organisms must respond to excess light in order to avoid photo-oxidative stress. In plants and green algae the fastest response to high light is non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), a process that allows the safe dissipation of the excess energy as heat. This phenomenon is triggered by the low luminal pH generated by photosynthetic electron transport. In vascular plants the main sensor of the low pH is the PsbS protein, while in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii LhcSR proteins appear to be exclusively responsible for this role. Interestingly, Chlamydomonas also possesses two PsbS genes, but so far the PsbS protein has not been detected and its biological function is unknown. Here, we reinvestigated the kinetics of gene expression and PsbS and LhcSR3 accumulation in Chlamydomonas during high light stress. We found that, unlike LhcSR3, PsbS accumulates very rapidly but only transiently. In order to determine the role of PsbS in NPQ and photoprotection in Chlamydomonas, we generated transplastomic strains expressing the algal or the Arabidopsis psbS gene optimized for plastid expression. Both PsbS proteins showed the ability to increase NPQ in Chlamydomonas wild-type and npq4 (lacking LhcSR3) backgrounds, but no clear photoprotection activity was observed. Quantification of PsbS and LhcSR3 in vivo indicates that PsbS is much less abundant than LhcSR3 during high light stress. Moreover, LhcSR3, unlike PsbS, also accumulates during other stress conditions. The possible role of PsbS in photoprotection is discussed.
