  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Diatoms, a group of prevalent marine algae, significantly contribute to global primary productivity. Their substantial biomass is linked to enhanced absorption of blue-green light underwater, facilitated by fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins (FCPs), exhibiting oligomeric diversity across diatom species. Utilizing mild CN-PAGE analysis on solubilized thylakoid membranes, we displayed monomeric, dimeric, trimeric, tetrameric and pentameric FCPs in diatoms. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed each oligomeric FCP has specific protein compositions, constituting a large Lhcf family of FCP antennas. In addition, we resolved the structures of Thalassiosira pseudonana FCP (Tp-FCP) homotrimer and Chaetoceros gracilis FCP (Cg-FCP) pentamer by cryo-electron microscopy at 2.73 Å and 2.65 Å resolutions, respectively. The distinct pigment composition and organization in various oligomeric FCPs change their blue-green light-harvesting, excitation energy transfer pathways. In comparison to dimeric and trimeric FCPs, Cg-FCP tetramer and Cg-FCP pentamer exhibit stronger absorption by Chls c, red-shifted and broader Chl a fluorescence emission, as well as more robust circular dichroism signals originating from Chl a-carotenoid dimers. These spectroscopic characteristics indicate that Chl a molecules in Cg-FCP tetramer and Cg-FCP pentamer are more heterogeneous than in both dimers and Tp-FCP trimer. The structural and spectroscopic insights provided by this study contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that empower diatoms to adapt to fluctuating light environments.
