Photosynthesis starts with absorption of light energy by using light-harvesting antenna complexes (LHCs). Overexcitation of LHCs and subsequent photosystems, however, is damaging and can be lethal. The orange carotenoid protein (OCP) protects most cyanobacteria from photodamage by dissipating excessive excitation energy harvested by phycobilisomes (PBS, LHCs) as heat. OCP has two states: the orange, inactive OCP (OCPO) and the red, active OCP (OCPR), with the latter able to bind PBS at a ratio…

It is demonstrated that this photoprotective mechanism, characterized by blue light–induced fluorescence quenching, is indeed phycobilisome-related and that a soluble carotenoid binding protein, ORANGE CAROTENOID PROTEIN (OCP), encoded by the slr1963 gene in Synechocystis PCC 6803, plays an essential role in this process.

In the cyanobacterial photoprotective mechanism, one red-activated Orange Carotenoid Protein binds to the core of the phycobilisome and quenches all its fluorescence, and protocols to overcome the effect of high phosphate concentrations are developed.

It is proposed that in vivo, FRP plays a key role in removing the red OCP from the phycobilisome and in the conversion of the free red O CP to the orange inactive form.

The results indicated that the structure of PBs, at least in vitro, significantly influences OCP binding and the stabilization of OCP-PB complexes and the fact that the OCP induced large fluorescence quenching even in the two-cylinder core of Synechococcus elongatus PBs strongly suggested that OCP binds to one of the basal allophycocyanin cylinders.

OCP functions as a light-powered molecular switch that modulates its spectroscopic properties as a response to specific changes in light environment and is proposed as a mechanism wherein the red state of OCP echinenone acts as an energy dissipator via its charge transfer state.
