Photosystem-II shutdown evolved with Nitrogen fixation in the unicellular diazotroph Crocosphaera watsonii

Résumé

Protection of nitrogenase from oxygen in unicellular cyanobacteria is obtained by temporal separation of photosynthesis and diazotrophy, through transcriptional and translational regulations of nitrogenase. But diazotrophs can face environmental 10 situations in which N 2 fixation occurs significantly in the light, and we believe that another control operates to make it possible. The nighttime shutdown of PSII activity is a peculiar behavior that discriminates C. watsonii WH8501 from any other phototroph, whether prokaryote or eukaryote. This phenomenon is not only due to the plastoquinone pool redox status and suggests that the sentinel D1 protein, expressed 15 in periods of nitrogen fixation, is inactive. Results demonstrate a tight constraint of oxygen evolution in C. watsonii as additional protection of nitrogenase activity and suggest a possible recycling of cellular components.
