At the same time, an efficient adaptation of these complexes to fluctuating light conditions is necessary to protect the diatoms against photodamage. So far, structural and dynamic data for the interaction between FCP and the photoprotective LHCX family of proteins in diatoms are lacking. In this computational study, we provide a structural basis for a remarkable pH-dependent adaptation at the molecular level. Upon binding of the LHCX1 protein to the FCP complex together with a change in pH, conformational changes within the FCP protein result in a variation of the electronic coupling in a specific chlorophyll-fucoxanthin pair, leading to a change in the exciton transfer rate by almost an order of magnitude. A common strategy for photoprotection between diatoms and higher plants is identified and discussed. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/24311 | ISSN: | 19487185 | DOI: | 10.1021/acs.jpclett.1c02498 | Rights: | © American Chemical Society | Type: | Article | Affiliation: | University of Crete Jacobs University Bremen Cyprus University of Technology |
