Carotenoids play a number of important roles in photosynthesis, primarily providing light-harvesting and photoprotective energy dissipation functions within pigment–protein complexes. The carbon–carbon double bond (C=C) conjugation length of carotenoids (N), generally between 9 and 15, determines the carotenoid-to-(bacterio)chlorophyll [(B)Chl] energy transfer efficiency. Here we purified and spectroscopically characterized light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2) fromRhodobacter sphaeroidescontaining theN= 7 carotenoid zeta (ζ)-carotene, not previously incorporated within a natural antenna complex. Transient absorption and time-resolved fluorescence show that, relative to the lifetime of the S1state of ζ-carotene in solvent, the lifetime decreases ∼250-fold when ζ-carotene is incorporated within LH2, due to transfer of excitation energy to the B800 and B850 BChlsa. These measurements show that energy transfer proceeds with an efficiency of ∼100%, primarily via the S1→ Qxroute because the S1→ S0fluorescence emission of ζ-carotene overlaps almost perfectly with the Qxabsorption band of the BChls. However, transient absorption measurements performed on microsecond timescales reveal that, unlike the nativeN≥ 9 carotenoids normally utilized in light-harvesting complexes, ζ-carotene does not quench excited triplet states of BChla, likely due to elevation of the ζ-carotene triplet energy state above that of BChla. These findings provide insights into the coevolution of photosynthetic pigments and pigment–protein complexes. We propose that theN≥ 9 carotenoids found in light-harvesting antenna complexes represent a vital compromise that retains an acceptable level of energy transfer from carotenoids to (B)Chls while allowing acquisition of a new, essential function, namely, photoprotective quenching of harmful (B)Chl triplets.
