| contents | Photophobotaxis in the filamentous cyanobacterium Phormidium lacuna: Mechanisms and implications for photosynthesis‐based light direction sensing Elina Schwabenland Caroline Janine Jelen Nora Weber Tilman Lamparter Photochemistry and Photobiology AbstractCyanobacterium Phormidium lacuna filaments move from dark to illuminated areas by twitching motility. Time‐lapse recordings demonstrated that this photophobotaxis response was based on random movements with movement reversion at the light–dark border. The filaments in the illuminated area form a biofilm attached to the surface. The wild‐type and the pixJ and cphA mutants were investigated for photophobotaxis at diverse wavelengths and intensities. CphA is a cyanobacterial phytochrome; PixJ is a biliprotein with a methyl‐accepting chemotaxis domain and is regarded as a phototaxis photoreceptor in other species. The cphA mutant exhibited reduced biofilm surface binding. The pixJ mutant was characterized as a negative photophobotaxis regulator and not as a light direction sensor. 3‐(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)1,1‐dimethylurea (DCMU) blocks electron transfer in PS II. At concentrations of 100 and 1000 μM DCMU, photophobotaxis was inhibited to a greater extent than motility, suggesting that PSII has a role in photophobotaxis. We argue that the intracellular concentrations of regular photoreceptors, including CphA or PixJ, are too small for a filament to sense rapid light intensity changes in very weak light. Three arguments, specific inhibition by DCMU, broad spectral sensitivity, and sensitivity against weak light, support photosynthesis pigments for use as photophobotaxis sensors. 10.1111/php.13908 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
