abstract = {Carotenes and their oxygenated derivatives, the
xanthophylls, are structural determinants in both
photosystems (PS) I and II. They bind and stabilize
photosynthetic complexes, increase the light-harvesting
capacity of chlorophyll-binding proteins, and have a major
role in chloroplast photoprotection. Localization of
carotenoid species within each PS is highly conserved: Core
complexes bind carotenes, whereas peripheral
light-harvesting systems bind xanthophylls. The specific
functional role of each xanthophyll species has been
recently described by genetic dissection, however the in
vivo role of carotenes has not been similarly defined. Here,
we have analyzed the function of carotenes in photosynthesis
and photoprotection, distinct from that of xanthophylls, by
characterizing the suppressor of zeaxanthin-less (szl)
mutant of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) which, due to
the decreased activity of the lycopene-β-cyclase, shows a
lower carotene content than wild-type plants. When grown at
room temperature, mutant plants showed a lower content in
PSI light-harvesting complex I complex than the wild type,
and a reduced capacity for chlorophyll fluorescence
quenching, the rapidly reversible component of
nonphotochemical quenching. When exposed to high light at
chilling temperature, szl1 plants showed stronger
photoxidation than wild-type plants. Both PSI and PSII from
szl1 were similarly depleted in carotenes and yet PSI
activity was more sensitive to light stress than PSII as
shown by the stronger photoinhibition of PSI and increased
rate of singlet oxygen release from isolated PSI
light-harvesting complex I complexes of szl1 compared with
the wild type. We conclude that carotene depletion in the
core complexes impairs photoprotection of both PS under high
light at chilling temperature, with PSI being far more
affected than PSII.},
