Cyanobacteria living in the sea or in fresh water protect themselves from excess light radiation by activating the orange carotenoid protein (OCP). The OCP is activated by strong light and changes its color from orange to red. The picture shows three cells, one in full light (above, reddish color), one in shadow (below, the color of their spot) and one in the middle. In the article, the mechanism of action of the OCP was proposed: after activation, the amino-end of the protein "digs" into the antenna complex called the phycobilisome, thereby preventing the flow of energy to the reaction centers.

A molecular model of the protein synthesis of the photosynthetic light system, the electron flow pathway and the modification engineered in this work. The protein aggregation is described in the colors of blue, white and red, which describe the electrical charge of the proteins. The lipids (fats) that make up the membrane in which the protein aggregation is embedded are colored in green and red. The small soluble protein isolated from horse hearts that accepts the electrons is shown above the protein aggregation of the photosynthetic light system. The natural flow of electrons is shown by a black arrow, and the one engineered in the technical work - by a yellow arrow. Illustration: Technion researchers
