| Abstract: | Two hydroxamic acids isolated from maize extracts, 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-(2H)-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA) and the 2-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside of DIMBOA, inhibit photophosphorylation by spinach chloroplasts. Both cyclic and noncyclic photophosphorylations were inhibited to the same extent. The concentrations producing 50% inhibition for DIMBOA and its glucoside were about 1 and 4 millimolar, respectively. These compounds inhibit coupled electron transport but do not affect basal or uncoupled electron transport. Both acids inhibit the ATPase activities of membrane-bound coupling factor 1 (CF(1)) and of purified CF(1). On the basis of these results, it is concluded that DIMBOA and its glucoside act as energy transfer inhibitors of photophosphorylation. |
