Phosphorylation of light-harvesting complex II controls excitation energy spillover between photosystems

R. Tokutsu, E. Kim, S. Akimoto, M. Yokono, K. Fujimura-Kamada, N. Ohnishi, Y. Ueno, J. Minagawa

The paper shows phosphorylated LHCIIs in green algae mediate excitation energy spillover from PSII to PSI, enhancing photosynthetic adaptation under variable light conditions.

Chlamydomonas State Transition Is Quiet Around Pyrenoid and Independent from Thylakoid Deformation

X. Zhang, Y. Fujita, N. Kaneda, R. Tokutsu, s. Ye, J. Minagawa, Y. Shibata

The paper investigates state transition in Chlamydomonas, finding reduced ST activity near the pyrenoid and structural changes independent of LHCII phosphorylation.

Photoprotection is regulated by light-independent CO2 availability

M. A. Ruiz-Sola, S. Flori, Y. Yuan, G. Villain, E. Sanz-Luque, P. Redekop, R. Tokutsu, A. Küken, A. Tsichla, G. Kepesidis, G. Allorent, M. Arend, F. Iacono, G. Finazzi, M. Hippler, , D. Petroutsos

This study shows that CO2 availability, not light, directly regulates photoprotection and the CO2 concentrating mechanism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, with light indirectly influencing these processes by altering CO2 levels.

Structural basis of LhcbM5-mediated state transitions in green algae

X. Pan, R. Tokutsu, A. Li, K. Takizawa, C. Song, K. Murata, T. Yamasaki, Z. Liu, J. Minagawa, M. Li

The paper reports high-resolution structures of PSI-LHCI-LHCII supercomplex in green algae, revealing the role of LhcbM5 in state transitions and supercomplex formation.

UV-A/B radiation rapidly activates photoprotective mechanisms in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

R. Tokutsu, K. Fujimura-Kamada, T. Yamasaki, K. Okajima, J. Minagawa

The paper shows that UV-A/B light activates photoprotective mechanisms faster than visible light in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, suggesting a distinct UV response compared to land plants.
