Title: On improving the performance of nonphotochemical quenching in CP29 light-harvesting antenna complex

Abstract

In this study, we model and simulate the performance of charge-transfer in nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) in the CP29 light-harvesting antenna-complex associated with photosystem II (PSII). The model consists of five discrete excitonic energy states and two sinks, responsible for the potentially damaging processes and charge-transfer channels, respectively. We demonstrate that by varying (i) the parameters of the chlorophyll-based dimer, (ii) the resonant properties of the protein-solvent environment interaction, and (iii) the energy transfer rates to the sinks, one can significantly improve the performance of the NPQ. In conclusion, our analysis suggests strategies for improving the performance of the NPQ in response to environmental changes, and may stimulate experimental verification.

ARCHITECTURE OF A CHARGE-TRANSFER STATE REGULATING LIGHT HARVESTING IN A PLANT ANTENNA PROTEIN

Journal Article Fleming, Graham ; Ahn, Tae Kyu ; Avenson, Thomas J ; ... - Science

Energy-dependent quenching of excess absorbed light energy (qE) is a vital mechanism for regulating photosynthetic light harvesting in higher plants. All of the physiological characteristics of qE have been positively correlated with charge-transfer between coupled chlorophyll and zeaxanthin molecules in the light-harvesting antenna of photosystem II (PSII). In this work, we present evidence for charge-transfer quenching in all three of the individual minor antenna complexes of PSII (CP29, CP26, and CP24), and we conclude that charge-transfer quenching in CP29 involves a de-localized state of an excitonically coupled chlorophyll dimer. We propose that reversible conformational changes in CP29 can `tune? themore »« less

Possible role of interference, protein noise, and sink effects in nonphotochemical quenching in photosynthetic complexes

Journal Article Berman, Gennady P. ; Nesterov, Alexander I. ; Gurvitz, Shmuel ; ... - Journal of Mathematical Biology

Here, we analyze theoretically a simple and consistent quantum mechanical model that reveals the possible role of quantum interference, protein noise, and sink effects in the nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) in light-harvesting complexes (LHCs). The model consists of a network of five interconnected sites (excitonic states of light-sensitive molecules) responsible for the NPQ mechanism. The model also includes the “damaging” and the dissipative channels. The damaging channel is responsible for production of singlet oxygen and other destructive outcomes. In this model, both damaging and “dissipative” charge transfer channels are described by discrete electron energy levels attached to their sinks, that mimicmore »« less

Dual Singlet Excited-State Quenching Mechanisms in an Artificial Caroteno-Phthalocyanine Light Harvesting Antenna

Journal Article Ravensbergen, Janneke ; Pillai, Smitha ; Méndez-Hernández, Dalvin D. ; ... - ACS Physical Chemistry Au

Under excess illumination, photosystem II of plants dissipates excess energy through the quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence in the light harvesting antenna. Various models involving chlorophyll quenching by carotenoids have been proposed, including (i) direct energy transfer from chlorophyll to the low-lying optically forbidden carotenoid S₁ state, (ii) formation of a collective quenched chlorophyll–carotenoid S₁ excitonic state, (iii) chlorophyll–carotenoid charge separation and recombination, and (iv) chlorophyll–chlorophyll charge separation and recombination. In previous work, the first three processes were mimicked in model systems: in a Zn-phthalocyanine–carotenoid dyad with an amide linker, direct energy transfer was observed by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, whereasmore »« less

On wavelength-dependent exciton lifetime distributions in reconstituted CP29 antenna of the photosystem II and its site-directed mutants

Journal Article Reinot, Tonu ; Jassas, Mahboobe ; Kell, Adam ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

To provide more insight on the excitonic structure and exciton lifetimes of the wild type (WT) CP29 complex of Photosystem II (PSII) we measured high-resolution (low temperature) absorption, emission, and hole burned spectra for the A2 and B3 mutants, which lack chlorophylls a612 and b614 (Chls), respectively. Experimental and modeling results obtained for the WT CP29 and A2/B3 mutants provide new insight on the mutation-induced changes at the molecular level and shed more light on energy transfer dynamics. Simulations of the A2 and B3 optical spectra, using the second-order non-Markovian theory, and comparison with improved fits of WT CP29 opticalmore »« less

Correlated fluorescence quenching and topographic mapping of Light-Harvesting Complex II within surface-assembled aggregates and lipid bilayers

Journal Article Adams, Peter G. ; Vasilev, Cvetelin ; Hunter, C. Neil ; ... - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Bioenergetics

Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) is a chlorophyll-protein antenna complex that efficiently absorbs solar energy and transfers electronic excited states to photosystems I and II. Under excess light intensity LHCII can adopt a photoprotective state in which excitation energy is safely dissipated as heat, a process known as Non-Photochemical Quenching (NPQ). In vivo NPQ is triggered by combinatorial factors including transmembrane ΔpH, PsbS protein and LHCII-bound zeaxanthin, leading to dramatically shortened LHCII fluorescence lifetimes. In vitro, LHCII in detergent solution or in proteoliposomes can reversibly adopt an NPQ-like state, via manipulation of detergent/protein ratio, lipid/protein ratio, pH or pressure.
