Regulation of photoprotection gene expression in Chlamydomonas by a putative E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and a homolog of CONSTANS
Abstract
Photosynthetic organisms use nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) mechanisms to dissipate excess absorbed light energy and protect themselves from photooxidation. In the model green algaChlamydomonas reinhardtii, the capacity for rapidly reversible NPQ (qE) is induced by high light, blue light, and UV light via increased expression ofLHCSRandPSBSgenes that are necessary for qE. Here, we used a forward genetics approach to identify SPA1 and CUL4, components of a putative green algal E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, as critical factors in a signaling pathway that controls light-regulated expression of theLHCSRandPSBSgenes inC. reinhardtii. Thespa1andcul4mutants accumulate increased levels of LHCSR1 and PSBS proteins in high light, and unlike the wild type, they express LHCSR1 and exhibit qE capacity even when grown in low light. Thespa1-1mutation resulted in constitutively high expression ofLHCSRandPSBSRNAs in both low light and high light. The qE and gene expression phenotypes ofspa1-1are blocked by mutation of CrCO, a B-box Zn-finger transcription factor that is a homolog of CONSTANS, which controls flowering time in plants. CONSTANS-likecis-regulatory sequences were identified proximal to the qE genes, consistent with CrCO acting as a direct activator of qE gene expression. We conclude that SPA1 and CUL4 are components of a conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase that acts upstream of CrCO,more »
