The xanthophyll cycle in diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum in response to light stress

Chosen aspects of the functioning of diadinoxanthin cycle in a model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum grown under low light conditions (LL) and under high light conditions (HL), which cause activation of violaxanthin cycle, were examined. Heterogeneity of the kinetics of diadinoxanthin ↔ diatoxanthin conversions regulated by de-epoxidase/epoxidase enzymes was detected. Three different rates of diadinoxanthin de-epoxidation (τ > 20 min, 5 min > τ > 1.5 min and τ ≤ 1 min) were observed. Appearance and contribution of these phases depended on the light conditions and xanthophylls subpopulations in membranes. Moreover, diadinoxanthin de-epoxidation was postulated to occur in darkness and its rate was estimated to be almost two times faster (τ ≈ 14 min) than diatoxanthin-epoxidation in LL- and HL-grown diatoms collected after the dark phase of the photoperiod and exposed to very high light and subsequent darkness. The level of lipid hydroperoxides and the expression of genes encoding xanthophyll cycle enzymes was measured. Our observations suggest that isoforms of these enzymes may participate in carotenoid synthesis or be exclusively involved in xanthophyll conversions. Violaxanthin cycle pigments present in HL-acclimated diatoms change thermodynamic properties of thylakoid membranes. Zeaxanthin is known to localize preferentially in the inner part of the lipid bilayer and diatoxanthin in its outer part. The different localization of these pigments probably decide about their complementary action in protection of the membranes against reactive oxygen species.
