摘要

The green plants have developed the skill to not only harvest light with great efficiency, but also to dispose of the excess energy with safety. The excess light energy can cause damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of green leaves through production of singlet oxygen and other harmful oxidative species. The photosystem-II (PSI1) of the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast is the most vulnerable site of damage, obviously, due to the higher oxidizing potential of the special pigment P680 located at the reaction centre (RCII) of the photosystem. Such a high potential (estimated to be 1.17 V) is required for extraction of electrons by cleavage of water that takes place at the water-oxidizing complex. The RCII is supplemented with a group of light-harvesting antenna proteins (CP47, CP43 and LHCII) containing chlorophylls (Chi) and carotenoids. The carotenoids (carotenes and xanthophylls), besides acting as accessory pigments, are associated with photoprotection. One of the important mechanisms of photoprotection in higher plants is the dissipation of excess light energy through the xanthophyll cycle, with the formation of zeaxanthin from violaxanthin. At higher irradiances, a pH gradient develops across the thylakoid membrane, which triggers the conversion of diepoxide violaxanthin (number of conjugated double bonds, n = 9) to zeaxanthin (n = I 1) through the monoepoxide antheraxanthin (n = 10; Figure 1). The de-epoxidized xanthophyll, zeaxanthin, is known to facilitate dissipation of excess light energy by thermal relaxation. The three major competitive routes for quenching of light energy in the thylakoid are photochemistry, thermal dissipation and emission of light, primarily by Chla fluorescence. Therefore, an increase in rate of thermal relaxation is reflected in a decrease in fluorescence, called non-photochemical quenching of Chla fluorescence (NPQ). In spite of the accumulation of vast literature on energy quenching (qE) by the xanthophyll cycle, its exact location and molecular mechanism remain obscure. Moreover, the modus operandi of zeaxanthin in qE is still controversial. A group of workers suggest that zeaxanthin can directly quench the singlet Chi energy due to its lower S_1 energy level. On the other hand, Ruban et al. describe zeaxanthin as a modulator of qE. Their experiments, of course with isolated LHCII, reveal that violaxanthin causes disaggregation of LHCs favouring light harvesting and its de-epoxidation to zeaxanthin triggers a quenched state by LHC aggregation. Experiments with mutants of Chlamydomonas suggest that lutein, in addition to zeaxanthin and antheraxanthin, contributes to NPQ. Although most of the studies accentuate the role of zeaxanthin in NPQ, the antioxidant effect of the xanthophyll cycle, with zeaxanthin as a better quencher of singlet oxygen, has also been demonstrated. In a recent paper, Li et al. working with Arabidopsis mutant, emphasize that a 22-kDa PsbS protein has an exclusive role in, and is essential for photoprotective energy dissipation. In the same paper, they conclude that the appearance of LHC proteins involved in photoprotection precedes those involved in light harvesting during the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis.
