Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) of photosynthetic organisms play a photoprotective role by reducing oxygen to water and thus avoiding the accumulation of excess electrons on the photosystem I (PSI) acceptor side under stress conditions. In Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 grown under high CO2, both FDPs Flv1 and Flv3 are indispensable for oxygen reduction. We performed a detailed in vivo kinetic study of wild-type (WT) and Delta flv1/3 strains of Synechocystis using light-induced NADPH fluorescence and near-infrared absorption of iron-sulfur clusters from ferredoxin and the PSI acceptors (FAFB), collectively named FeS. These measurements were performed under conditions where the Calvin-Benson cycle is inactive or poorly activated. Under such conditions, the NADPH decay following a short illumination decays in parallel in both strains and exhibits a time lag which is correlated to the presence of reduced FeS. On the contrary, reduced FeS decays much faster in WT than in Delta flv1/3 (13 vs 2 s(-1)). These data unambiguously show that reduced ferredoxin, or possibly reduced FAFB, is the direct electron donor to the Flv1/Flv3 heterodimer. Evidences for large reduction of (FAFB) and recombination reactions within PSI were also provided by near-infrared absorption. Mutants lacking either the NDH1-L complex, the homolog of complex I of respiration, or the Pgr5 protein show no difference with WT in the oxidation of reduced FeS following a short illumination. These observations question the participation of a significant cyclic electron flow in cyanobacteria during the first seconds of the induction phase of photosynthesis.
