Cyanobacteria inhabit areas with a broad range of light, temperature, and nutrient conditions. The robustness of cyanobacterial cells, which can survive under different conditions, may depend on the resilience of photosynthetic activity. Cyanothece sp. PCC 8801 (Cyanothece), a freshwater cyanobacterium isolated from a Taiwanese rice field, had a higher repair activity of photodamaged photosystem II (PSII) under intense light than Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Synechocystis), another freshwater cyanobacterium. Cyanothece contains myristic acid (14:0) as the major fatty acid at the sn-2 position of the glycerolipids. To investigate the role of 14:0 in the repair of photodamaged PSII, we used a Synechocystis transformant expressing a T-1274 encoding a lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT) from Cyanothece. The wild-type and transformant cells contained 0.2 and 20.1 mol% of 14:0 in glycerolipids, respectively. The higher content of 14:0 in the transformants increased the fluidity of the thylakoid membrane. In the transformants, PSII repair was accelerated due to an enhancement in the de novo synthesis of D1 protein, and the production of singlet oxygen (1O2), which inhibited protein synthesis, was suppressed. The high content of 14:0 increased transfer of light energy received by phycobilisomes to PSI and CP47 in PSII and the content of carotenoids. These results indicated that an increase in 14:0 reduced 1O2 formation and enhanced PSII repair. The higher content of 14:0 in the glycerolipids may be required as a survival strategy for Cyanothece inhabiting a rice field under direct sunlight.
