Cyanobacterial light-harvesting complexes, phycobilisomes, can undergo extensive remodeling under varying light conditions. Acclimation to far-red light involves not only generation of red-shifted chlorophylls in the photosystems, but also induction of additional copies of core biliproteins that have been related to red-shifted components of the phycobilisome (Gan et al., Life 5, 4, 2015). We are studying the molecular basis for these acclimations inChroococcidiopsis thermalissp. PCC7203. Five far-red induced allophycocyanin subunits (ApcA2, ApcA3, ApcB2, ApcB3 and ApcF2) were expressed inEscherichia coli, together with S-type chromophore-protein lyases andin situgenerated chromophore, phycocyanobilin. Only one subunit, ApcF2, shows an unusual red-shift (λAmax~ 675 nm, λFmax~ 698 nm): it binds the chromophore non-covalently, thereby preserving its full conjugation length. This mechanism operates also in two Cys-variants of the induced subunits of bulky APC. All other wild-type subunits bind phycocyanobilin covalently to the conventional Cys-81 under catalysis of the lyase, CpcS1. Although three of them also show binding to additional cysteines, all absorb and fluoresce similar to conventional APC subunits (λAmax~ 610 nm, λFmax~ 640 nm). Another origin of red-shifted complexes was identified, however, when different wild-type α- and β-subunits of the far-red induced bulky APC were combined in a combinatorial fashion. Strongly red-shifted complexes (λFmax≤ 722 nm) were formed when the α-subunit, PCB-ApcA2, and the β-subunit, PCB-ApcB2, were generated together inE. coli. This extreme aggregation-induced red-shift of ~ 90 nm of covalently bound chromophores is reminiscent, but much larger, than the ~ 30 nm observed with conventional APC.
