CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2021 | Editor: | Blackwell Publishing | Citación: | Physiologia Plantarum 171: 277- 290 (2021) | Resumen: | We have investigated if the heterologous expression of a functional green alga plastocyanin in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum can improve photosynthetic activity and cell growth. Previous in vitro assays showed that a single-mutant of the plastocyanin from the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is effective in reducing P. tricornutum photosystem I. In this study, in vivo assays with P. tricornutum strains expressing this plastocyanin indicate that even the relatively low intracellular concentrations of holo-plastocyanin detected (¿4 ¿M) are enough to promote an increased growth (up to 60%) under iron-deficient conditions as compared with the WT strain, measured as higher cell densities, content in pigments and active photosystem I, global photosynthetic rates per cell, and even cell volume. In addition, the presence of plastocyanin as an additional photosynthetic electron carrier seems to decrease the over-reduction of the plastoquinone pool. Consequently, it promotes an improvement in the maximum quantum yield of both photosystem II and I, together with a decrease in the acceptor side photoinhibition of photosystem II¿also associated to a reduced oxidative stress¿a decrease in the peroxidation of membrane lipids in the choroplast, and a lower degree of limitation on the donor side of photosystem I. Thus the heterologous plastocyanin appears to act as a functional electron carrier, alternative to the native cytochrome c6, under iron-limiting conditions. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/ppl.13290 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/228583 | DOI: | 10.1111/ppl.13290 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1111/ppl.13290 issn: 0031-9317 |
