Strong heterologous electron sink outcompetes alternative electron transport pathways in photosynthesis

M. Hubacek, L. T. Wey, R. Kourist, L. Malihan-Yap, L. Nikkanen, Y. Allahverdiyeva

The paper demonstrates that a heterologous electron sink outcompetes natural electron transport pathways in engineered cyanobacteria, revealing FNR as the preferred route for electron delivery and highlighting the NADPH/NADP+ ratio's role in electron flux.

Flavodiiron proteins associate pH-dependently with the thylakoid membrane for ferrdoxin-1 powered O2 photoreduction

L. Nikkanen, S. Vakal, A. Santana-Sanchez, M. Hubacek, Y. Wang, M. Boehm, K. Gutekunst, T. A. Salminen, Y. Allahverdiyeva

This study identifies Ferredoxin-1 as the main electron donor to FDP heterooligomers and shows pH-dependent membrane association regulates FDP activity in cyanobacteria.

Cytochrome cM downscales photosynthesis under photomixotrophy in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

D. Solymosi, D. Muth-Pawlak, L. Nikkanen, D. Fitzpatrick, R. Vasudevan, C. Howe, D. J. Lea-Smith, Y. Allahverdiyeva

The study shows that deletion of cytochrome cM in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 prevents photosynthesis reduction under photomixotrophy, maintaining higher growth rates.

Increased expression of mitochondrial dysfunction stimulon genes affects chloroplast redox status and photosynthetic electron transfer in Arabidopsis

A. Shapiguzov, L. Nikkanen, D. Fitzpatrick, J. P. Vainonen, A. Tiwari, R. Gossens, S. Alseekh, F. Aarabi, O. Blokhina, K. Panzarova, Z. Benedikty, E. Tyystjarvi, A. R. Fernie, M. Trtilek, E.-M. Aro, , J. Kangasjarvi

This study shows that increased MDS gene expression in Arabidopsis affects chloroplast redox status and photosynthetic electron transfer, with hypoxia mitigating these effects in an MDS-overexpressor mutant.

Regulation of cyclic electron flow by chloroplast NADPH-dependent thioredoxin system

L. Nikkanen, J. Toivola, A. Trotta, M. Guinea Diaz, M. Tikkanen, E.-M. Aro, E. Rintamaki

The paper investigates how the chloroplast NADPH-thioredoxin reductase (NTRC) regulates cyclic electron flow (CEF) and its impact on proton motive force and redox balance in Arabidopsis under fluctuating light conditions.
