PsbS-Dependent Non-Photochemical Quenching

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Non-Photochemical Quenching and Energy Dissipation in Plants, Algae and Cyanobacteria

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 40))

Summary

Much of the research on the thermal dissipation of excess absorbed light, measured as non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) of chlorophyll fluorescence, has been focused on a major, rapidly induced and rapidly reversible component of fluorescence quenching termed energy-dependent quenching, feedback de-excitation, or qE. A breakthrough in this field came with the discovery of the involvement of the photosystem II subunit S (PsbS) protein, a thylakoid membrane protein required for qE induction and relaxation. In this chapter, we discuss the history of how PsbS was first identified as a photosystem II subunit, the genetic characterization that defined its important role in qE, and the biochemical work describing how PsbS might regulate photosynthetic light harvesting. We emphasize how mutants affecting PsbS (i.e., npq4) have been invaluable tools in defining structural and spectroscopic changes associated with qE, and how these mutants have contributed to our current understanding of the physiological role of the thermal dissipation process accompanied by non-photochemical fluorescence quenching.
