pubmed:abstractText |
Nonphotochemical quenching (NPQ) is the photoprotective dissipation of energy in photosynthetic membranes. The hypothesis that the DeltapH-dependent component of NPQ (qE) component of non-photochemical quenching is controlled allosterically by the xanthophyll cycle has been tested using Arabidopsis mutants with different xanthophyll content and composition of Lhcb proteins. The titration curves of qE against DeltapH were different in chloroplasts containing zeaxanthin or violaxanthin, proving their roles as allosteric activator and inhibitor, respectively. The curves differed in mutants deficient in lutein and specific Lhcb proteins. The results show that qE is determined by xanthophyll occupancy and the structural interactions within the antenna that govern allostericity.
