    Photosynthetic organisms have developed a regulation mechanism called state transition (ST) to rapidly adjust the excitation balance between the two photosystems by light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) movement. Though many researchers have assumed coupling of the dynamic transformations of the thylakoid membrane with ST, evidence of that remains elusive. To clarify the above-mentioned coupling in a model organism Chlamydomonas , here we used two advanced microscope techniques, the excitation-spectral microscope (ESM) developed recently by us and the superresolution imaging based on structured-illumination microscopy (SIM). The ESM observation revealed ST-dependent spectral changes upon repeated ST inductions. Surprisingly, it clarified a less significant ST occurrence in the region surrounding the pyrenoid, which is a subcellular compartment specialized for the carbon-fixation reaction, than that in the other domains. Further, we found a species dependence of this phenomenon: 137c strain showed the significant intracellular inhomogeneity of ST occurrence, whereas 4A+ strain hardly did. On the other hand, the SIM observation resolved partially irreversible fine thylakoid transformations caused by the ST-inducing illumination. This fine, irreversible thylakoid transformation was also observed in the STT7 kinase-lacking mutant. This result revealed that the fine thylakoid transformation is not induced solely by the LHCII phosphorylation, suggesting the highly susceptible nature of the thylakoid ultrastructure to the photosynthetic light reactions.

    Abstract Prasiola crispa, a major green alga in Antarctica, forms layered colonies for survival under the severe terrestrial conditions of Antarctica, which include severe cold, drought, and strong sunlight. As a result of these conditions, the surface cells of P. crispa and other Antarctic organisms face high risk of photodamage. Cells of deeper layer escape from photodamage at the sacrifice of photosynthetic active radiation except infrared. P. crispa achieves effective photosynthesis by low energy far-red light for photosystem II excitation with high efficiency similar to that of visible light. Here, we identified a far-red light-harvesting complex of photosystem II in P. crispa, Pc-frLHC, and proposed a molecular mechanism of uphill excitation energy transfer based on its cryogenic electron-microscopy structure. While Pc-frLHC is associated with photosystem II, it is evolutionarily related to the light-harvesting complex of photosystem I. Pc-frLHC forms a ring-shaped homo-undecamer in which all chlorophyll a molecules are energetically connected and contains chlorophyll a trimers. It seems that the trimers are long-wavelength-absorbing chlorophylls for far-red light at 708 nm, and further absorbance extension is accomplished by Davydov-splitting in dimeric chlorophylls. The chlorophyll network should enable a highly efficient entropy-driven uphill excitation energy transfer using far-red light up to 725 nm.

    <title>Abstract</title> Photosynthetic organisms adjust to fluctuating natural light under physiological ambient conditions through flexible light-harvesting ability of light-harvesting complex II (LHCII). A process called state transition is an efficient regulation mechanism to balance the excitations between photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI) by shuttling mobile LHCII between them. However, in situ observation of the migration of LHCII in vivo remains limited. In this study, we investigated the in vivo reversible changes in the intracellular distribution of the chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence during the light-induced state transitions in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The newly developed noninvasive excitation-spectral microscope provided powerful spectral information about excitation-energy transfer between Chl-a and Chl-b. The excitation spectra were detected through the fluorescence emission in the 700–750-nm spectral range, where PSII makes the main contribution, though PSI still makes a non-negligible contribution at room temperature. The technique is sensitive to the Chl-b spectral component specifically bound to LHCII. Using a PSI-specific 685-nm component also provided visualization of the local relative concentration of PSI within a chloroplast at room temperature. The decrease in the relative intensity of the Chl-b band in state 2 was more conspicuous in the PSII-rich region than in the PSI-rich region, reflecting the dissociation of LHCII from PSII. We observed intracellular redistributions of the Chl-b-related light-harvesting abilities within a chloroplast during the state transitions. This observation implies the association of the state transitions with the morphological changes in the thylakoid membrane.

    In order to clarify the role of symbiotic association in desiccation tolerance of photosynthetic partners in lichens, responses to dehydration in a chlorolichen (Ramalina yasudae) and its photobiont (Trebouxia sp.) was studied. Responses to dehydration in the isolated Trebouxia sp. were different from R. yasudae. That is, (1) the photosystem II (PSII) reaction was totally inhibited in R. yasudae when photosynthesis was completely inhibited by desiccation, but it remained active in Trebouxia sp. (2) Dehydration-induced quenching of PSII fluorescence was smaller in the Trebouxia sp. compared to that in R. yasudae. (3) The isolated Trebouxia sp. showed a higher sensitivity to photoinhibition than R. yasudae in the dehydrated condition. We analyzed about the water extract of R. yasudae and found out that arabitol which contained large amount in water extract accelerated quenching of PSII fluorescence of Trebouxia in the dehydrated state. The phenomenon was confirmed by the analysis of picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectra. In other words, it indicates that accumulated arabitol in lichen body play a important role against dehydrated tolerance of Trebouxia.

    Lichen is a symbiotic organism of a fungi as a host and an alga or (and) a cyanobacterium as a guest. Lichen shows high tolerance to the strong light under drought condition. Recent studies have shown that lichen has a specific mechanism to effectively convert excessive light energy into heat under drought condition. We have performed the time-resolved fluorimetry of lichens at cryogenic temperature to identify the molecular location where this mechanism functions. The study clarified that the quenching of the excitation energy occurs in photosystem II. The lichen containing Trebouxia as a symbiotic alga has a fluorescence component at 740 nm, which seems to contribute to the energy dissipation. In the present study, we report the results in a green alga Trebouxia isolated from a lichen R. yasudae obtained by time-resolved fluorimetry in cryogenic temperature. The isolated Trebouxia showed no rapid energy dissipation upon desiccation as in lichen. However, the ability of rapid energy dissipation was reproduced by drying with a sugar. The results suggest the essential role of the sugar for the drought-tolerance of Trebouxia.

    The light-harvesting and primary charge-separation processes in photosystem I (PS I) reaction center have not been revealed completely, because of 1) the large spectral overlap among many antenna chlorophyll(Chl)s, 2) very fast energy transfers among Chl, and 3) the overlap of the time range between the light harvesting and primary charge separation. At cryogenic temperature, the above difficulties 1) and 2) are expected to be overcome because the Chl spectra become very sharp and the energy transfer becomes drastically slower. We studied the ultrafast fluorescence dynamics of PS I at 15 K. The results showed that at 15 K the antenna Chl in PS I are divided into 3 groups; Chl that transfer the excitation energy to P700 with a 5-ps time constant, 300-ps time constant, and transfer the excitation energy to the red Chl with a 30-ps time constant. Stoichiometry of these Chl groups will be discussed.

    Photosystem I(PS I) pigment-protein super complex of diatoms consists of two peripheral antennas, FCP(fucoxanthin-Chlorophyll(Chl)-binding proteins) I-1, FCP I-2, and core complex (PS I-Core). We studied the ultra-fast excitation energy transfer in isolated FCP-PS I super-complex, PS I-Core complex, FCP I-1 and FCP I-2 isolated from C. gracillis by the upconversion and the streak camera methods at 17 K. Results of a global analysis revealed a major fluorescence decay phase with a 5-ps time constant upon the selective excitation of Chl a at 430 nm. However, it was not observed upon the 460-nm excitation that mainly excited Chl c in FCP. Thus, the 5-ps phase was interpreted as the energy trapping in the core. Two components with 0.86-ps and 14-ps time constants were observed upon the excitation at 460 nm suggesting the two energy-transfer pathways from FCP to the core (FCP I-1-> core and FCP I-2-> core).

    Lichens are photoautotrophic symbionts of fungi and algae and survive even under the drought environments. It has been suggested that dried lichens immediately convert excess light energy into heat to prevent the photoinhibition in photosystem II (PSII). A recent report suggests that the chlorophyll emitting fluorescence at 740 nm (Chl740) is present and acts as an energy quencher in PSII in lichen [1]. We used the same type of lichens and measured ultrafast fluorescence decay in dry lichen cells by the combination of upconversion and streakcamera system at 4-300 K to study whether and where Chl740 is present in PSII.<br>The fluorescence of Chl740 rising within 1 ps after laser excitation, decaying in several picoseconds was observed. The rate of EET and quenching process in PSII was estimated. <br>We also discuss with respect to other two different types of lichens.<br>[1] Veerman et al, Plant Physiol., 145, 997-1005 (2007)

    In the conventional ultra-fast up-conversion fluorescence measurement, fluorescence emitted from the opposite side of the laser excitation is detected. Only a transparent sample could be measured by this type of system. For the noninvasive in vivo measurement, we developed a new reflection-type system, in which the fluorescence emitted at the same side as the laser excitation can be detected. We measured the rise and decay of fluorescence from the green alga inside dried lichen. Lichens are drought tolerant, and have a mechanism to convert the excess light energy into heat to prevent the photoinhibition. We directly measured the time constant of the fluorescence lifetime of dry lichen to be 20 ps. No fluorescence rise corresponding to the dacay was observed suggesting that the most of the excitation energy is quenched within 20 ps.The reflection type system enables us to perform noninvasive ultra-fast measurements of opaque samples like leaves in vivo.

    We performed picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in spinach photosystem II (PS II) particles at 4, 40, and 77 K and identified a new fluorescence band, F689. F689 was identified in addition to the well-known F685 and F695 bands in both analyses of decay-associated spectra and global Gaussian deconvolution of time-resolved spectra. Its fast decay suggests the energy transfer directly from F689 to the reaction center chlorophyll P680. The contribution of F689, which increases only at low temperature, explains the unusually broad and variable bandwidth of F695 at low temperature. Global analysis revealed the three types of excitation energy transfer/dissipation processes: (1) energy transfer from the peripheral antenna to the three core antenna bands F685, F689, and F695 with time constants of 29 and 171 ps at 77 and 4 K, respectively; (2) between the three core bands (0.18 and 0.82 ns); and (3) the decays of F689 (0.69 and 3.02 ns) and F695 (2.18 and 4.37 ns). The retardations of these energy transfer rates and the slow F689 decay rate produced the strong blue shift of the PS II fluorescence upon the cooling below 77 K.

    Lichens are photoautotrophical symbionts containing algae and can live even in the drought environment. It has been suggested that lichens convert absorbed light energy into thermal energy efficiently in the drought conditions, although the mechanism is still unclear. We measured the lifetime of fluorescence of a lichen, Pertusaria sp. using pico-second time resolved spectrophotometer, and analyzed the process of energy conversion. We obtained following results. (1) The fluorescence of photosystem II decayed much faster in the dried cells. (2) Excitation energy transfer within photosystem II was still observed in the dried cells. (3) The lifetime of photosystem II was increased within 1 min after water-absorption. (4) The blue shift and the shortening of the lifetime were also observed in photosystem I upon dehydration. Similar features were observed in other lichens. We discuss this energy dissipation mechanism from these results.

    We investigated excitation energy transfer in Photosystem II (PS II) of higher plants and cyanobacteria at cryogenic temperature. With respect to the steady-state fluorescence spectrum of PS II, the red shift occurs with decreasing temperature to 77 K, however, the opposite blue shift occurs with further decreasing to 5 K. We measured time-resolved fluorescence of spinach PS II at 5 - 77 K and found the new fluorescence band F689. We proposed that the temperature dependency of decay rate of F689 could explain this spectral change.<br> In the present study, we analyzed the cyanobacterial mutant PAL that lacks phycobiliprotein. F689 also existed in the cyanobacterial PS II, however, kinetics of each fluorescence band was different.<br> Kinetic simulations of excitation energy transfer on the basis of these results were performed. We will discuss light-harvesting mechanism in PS II of higher plants and cyanobacteria.

    It has been reported two fluorescence emission bands at 685 nm(F685) and 695 nm(F695) in photosystem II(PSII) at 77 K, emitted from chlorophyll a in the core antenna CP43 and CP47, respectively. This study, we measured the fluorescence dynamics of a Arabidopsis thaliana leaf in the picosecond time region at 5 K, 40 K and 77 K. We found a new band at 687 nm(F687). With increasing temperature, the decay rate of F687 became faster so that in a later time region it could not be distinguished from F695 because of the overlap with F695. We also observed F687 in the spinach PSII and Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 at 5-77 K. Each bands in cyanobacteria decay faster than those of higher plants. We will propose a model for the excitation-energy transfer dynamics in PSII, accounts for the rise and decay kinetics of the fluorescence bands.

    The picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectra of photosystem II (PS II), a major protein of the plant-type photosynthesis, at 5-180K are compared with the simulated spectra based on a microscopic theory. In the theory, exciton relaxations within a group of pigments and exciton transfers between the groups are treated on the basis of the Redfield theory and the generalized Forster theory, respectively. The simulated spectra well reproduced the temperature dependence of the time-resolved fluorescence spectrum of PS II, which is characterized by the emergence of a 695-nm fluorescence peak upon cooling down to 77K and the decrease of its relative intensity upon further cooling below 77K. The study revealed which chlorophyll molecule on the known PS II structure is responsible for the emission at 695nm.

    Time-resolved transient hole-burning (TRTHB) spectroscopy is quite effective to elucidate the conformational fluctuation dynamics of protein in ns-ms time regime, which has not been investigated intensively so far. It has also great importance for the understanding of the molecular-level mechanism of protein functioning. TRTHB study on Zn-substituted myoglobin has clarified its highly non-exponential fluctuation dynamics. The time scale of the observed fluctuation is distributed over very wide range from ns to μs. The results underscore the utility of the present method to characterize conformational dynamics of protein.

    In order to reveal the mechanism based on which photosynthetic proteins are automatically assembled within biological systems, I aimed to detect the intermediate states of their assembly processes. Since such intermediates are generated only transiently and therefore accumulate only a tiny amount, detection of these components are quite difficult. To overcome the difficulty, I extended the single molecule detection technique to perform an exhaustive survey of all the components within a sample. The present development have established a method to characterize components with a tiny amount within a sample.
