After overnight dark adaptation, one of the cyclic electron transport pathways collaborates with the thylakoid H+/K+ antiporter to efficiently induce photosynthesis. In angiosperms, the NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex mediates cyclic electron transport around PSI (CET). K+ Efflux Antiporter3 (KEA3) is a putative thylakoid H+/K+ antiporter and allows an increase in membrane potential at the expense of the pH component of the proton motive force. In this study, we discovered that the chlororespiratory reduction2-1 (crr2-1) mutation, which abolished NDH-dependent CET, enhanced the kea3-1 mutant phenotypes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The NDH complex pumps protons during CET, further enhancing pH, but its physiological function has not been fully clarified. The observed effect only took place upon exposure to light of 110 mu mol photons m(-2) s(-1) after overnight dark adaptation. We propose two distinct modes of NDH action. In the initial phase, within 1 min after the onset of actinic light, the NDH-dependent CET engages with KEA3 to enhance electron transport efficiency. In the subsequent phase, in which the pH-dependent down-regulation of the electron transport is relaxed, the NDH complex engages with KEA3 to relax the large pH formed during the initial phase. We observed a similar impact of the crr2-1 mutation in the genetic background of the PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION5 overexpression line, in which the size of pH was enhanced. When photosynthesis was induced at 300 mu mol photons m(-2) s(-1), the contribution of KEA3 was negligible in the initial phase and the pH-dependent down-regulation was not relaxed in the second phase. In the crr2-1 kea3-1 double mutant, the induction of CO2 fixation was delayed after overnight dark adaptation.
