Evidence that cyanobacterial Sll1217 functions analogously to PGRL1 in enhancing PGR5-dependent cyclic electron flow [PDF]
In Arabidopsis, PGR5 and PGRL1 heterodimers enable cyclic electron flow to safeguard photosystem I during high light intensity. Here, the authors provide evidence that cyanobacteria, while lacking an obvious PGRL1 homologue, use an analogous PGRL1-like ...

Identification of a Novel Mutation Exacerbated the PSI Photoinhibition in pgr5/pgrl1 Mutants; Caution for Overestimation of the Phenotypes in Arabidopsis pgr5-1 Mutant [PDF]
PSI photoinhibition is usually avoided through P700 oxidation. Without this protective mechanism, excess light represents a potentially lethal threat to plants.

Over Expression of the Cyanobacterial Pgr5-Homologue Leads to Pseudoreversion in a Gene Coding for a Putative Esterase in Synechocystis 6803 [PDF]
Pgr5 proteins play a major direct role in cyclic electron flow paths in plants and eukaryotic phytoplankton. The genomes of many cyanobacterial species code for Pgr5-like proteins but their function is still uncertain.

Electron flow from PSII to PSI under high light is controlled by PGR5 but not by PSBS [PDF]
Absence of the PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5 (PGR5) protein from plant chloroplasts prevents the induction of strong trans-thylakoid proton gradient (ΔpH) and consequently also the thermal dissipation of excess energy (NPQ).

PGR5-PGRL1-Dependent Cyclic Electron Transport Modulates Linear Electron Transport Rate in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Plants need tight regulation of photosynthetic electron transport for survival and growth under environmental and metabolic conditions. For this purpose, the linear electron transport (LET) pathway is supplemented by a number of alternative electron ...

A Complex Containing PGRL1 and PGR5 Is Involved in the Switch between Linear and Cyclic Electron Flow in Arabidopsis [PDF]
SummaryDuring photosynthesis, two photoreaction centers located in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast, photosystems I and II (PSI and PSII), use light energy to mobilize electrons to generate ATP and NADPH. Different modes of electron flow exist,

The role of PGR5 in the redox poising of photosynthetic electron transport
The pgr5 mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana has been described as being deficient in cyclic electron flow around photosystem I, however, the precise role of the PGR5 protein remains unknown.

PGR5 and NDH-1 systems do not function as protective electron acceptors but mitigate the consequences of PSI inhibition [PDF]
Avoidance of photoinhibition at photosystem (PS)I is based on synchronized function of PSII, PSI, Cytochrome b6f and stromal electron acceptors. Here, we used a special light regime, PSI photoinhibition treatment (PIT), in order to specifically inhibit ...

Autophagy Induced Accumulation of Lipids in pgrl1 and pgr5 of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Under High Light [PDF]
Chlamydomonas (C.) reinhardtii is a potential microalga for lipid production. Autophagy-triggered lipid metabolism in microalgae has not being studied so far from a mutant of proton gradient regulation 1 like (PGRL1) and proton gradient regulation 5 ...

High cyclic electron transfer via the PGR5 pathway in the absence of photosynthetic control
The light reactions of photosynthesis couple electron and proton transfers across the thylakoid membrane, generating NADPH, and proton motive force (pmf) that powers the endergonic synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase.
