Résumé

ABSTRACT Photosynthetic organisms have developed sophisticated strategies to fine-tune light energy conversion to meet the metabolic demand, thereby optimizing growth in fluctuating light environments. Although mechanisms such as energy dissipation, photosynthetic control, or the photosystem II (PSII) damage and repair have been widely studied, little is known about the regulation of protein synthesis capacity during light acclimation. By screening a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii insertional mutant library using chlorophyll fluorescence imaging, we isolated a high chlorophyll fluorescence mutant ( hf 0 ) defected in a gene encoding a putative plastid targeted DEAD-box RNA helicase called CreRH22. CreRH22 is rapidly induced upon illumination and belongs to the GreenCut, a set of proteins specific to photosynthetic organisms. While photosynthesis is slightly affected in the mutant under low light (LL), exposure to high light (HL) induces a marked decrease in both PSII and PSI, and a strong alteration of the light-induced gene expression pattern. These effects are explained by the inability of hf 0 to increase plastid ribosome amounts under HL. We conclude that CreRH22, by promoting ribosomal RNA precursor maturation in a light-dependent manner, enables the assembly of extra-ribosomes required to synthesize photosystem subunits at a higher rate, a critical step in the acclimation of algae to HL.
