Native Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Oligomerization States of Fluorescence Recovery Protein and Orange Carotenoid Protein: Two Proteins Involved in the Cyanobacterial Photoprotection Cycle [Native Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Oligomerization States of FRP and OCP: Two Proteins Involved in the Cyanobacterial Photoprotection Cycle]

Journal Article Lu, Yue ; Liu, Haijun ; Saer, Rafael G. ; ... - Biochemistry

Here, the orange carotenoid protein (OCP) and fluorescence recovery protein (FRP) are present in many cyanobacteria, and regulate an essential photoprotection cycle in an antagonistic manner as a function of light intensity. We characterized the oligomerization states of OCP and FRP by using native mass spectrometry, a technique that has the capability of studying native proteins under a wide range of protein concentrations and molecular masses. We found that dimeric FRP (dFRP) is the predominant state at protein concentrations ranging from 3 μM to 180 μM, and that higher order oligomers gradually form at protein concentrations above this range.

Structural analysis of a new carotenoid-binding protein: the C-terminal domain homolog of the OCP

Journal Article Dominguez-Martin, Maria Agustina ; Hammel, Michal ; Gupta, Sayan ; ... - Scientific Reports

The Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) is a water-soluble protein that governs photoprotection in many cyanobacteria. The 35 kDa OCP is structurally and functionally modular, consisting of an N-terminal effector domain (NTD) and a C-terminal regulatory domain (CTD); a carotenoid spans the two domains. The CTD is a member of the ubiquitous Nuclear Transport Factor-2 (NTF2) superfamily (pfam02136). With the increasing availability of cyanobacterial genomes, bioinformatic analysis has revealed the existence of a new family of proteins, homologs to the CTD, the C-terminal domain-like carotenoid proteins (CCPs). Here we purify holo-CCP2 directly from cyanobacteria and establish that it natively binds canthaxanthin (CAN).more »« less

Binding of red form of Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) to phycobilisome is not sufficient for quenching

Journal Article Lou, Wenjing ; Niedzwiedzki, Dariusz M. ; Jiang, Ruidong J. ; ... - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Bioenergetics

The Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) is responsible for photoprotection in many cyanobacteria. Absorption of blue light drives the conversion of the orange, inactive form (OCP^O) to the red, active form (OCP^R). Concomitantly, the N–terminal domain (NTD) and the C–terminal domain (CTD) of OCP separate, which ultimately leads to the formation of a quenched OCP^R–PBS complex. The details of the photoactivation of OCP have been intensely researched. Binding site(s) of OCP^R on the PBS core have also been proposed. Yet, the post–binding events of the OCP^R–PBS complex remain unclear. In this work, we demonstrate that PBS–bound OCP^R is not sufficient asmore »« less

Excited State Properties of 3'-Hydroxyechinenone in Solvents and in the Orange Carotenoid Protein from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Journal Article Niedzwiedzki, Dariusz M. ; Liu, Haijun ; Blankenship, Robert E. - Journal of Physical Chemistry. B, Condensed Matter, Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces and Biophysical Chemistry

The orange carotenoid protein (OCP) is a 35 kDa water-soluble protein involved in a photoprotective mechanism of the photosynthetic apparatus of cyanobacteria. The OCP contains a single molecule of the carotenoid 3'-hydroxyechinenone (3'-hECN). We have performed transient absorption studies at 77 K in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges on 3'-hECN in solvent glass and in both inactive (orange) and active (red) forms of OCP. In the OCP the cryogenic temperature prohibited the protein from spontaneous conversion between activity stages and allowed us to study well-defined spectral forms of the protein. The studies show that each form of the OCPmore »« less
