A non-detergent photosystem II preparation, named BS, has been characterized by countercurrent distribution, light saturation curves, absorption spectra and fluorescence at room and at low temperature (–196°C). The BS fraction is prepared by a sonication-phase partitioning procedure (Svensson P and Albertsson P-Å, Photosynth Res 20: 249–259, 1989) which removes the stroma lamellae and the margins from the grana and leaves the appressed partition region intact in the form of vesicles. These are closed structures of inside-out conformation. They have a chlorophyll a/b ratio of 1.8–2.0, have a high oxygen evolving capacity (295 mol O 2 per mg chl h), are depleted in P700 and enriched in the cytochrome b/f complex. They have about 2 Photosystem II reaction centers per 1 cytochrome b/f complex.The plastoquinone pool available for PS II in the BS vesicles is 6–7 quinones per reaction center, about the same as for the whole thylakoid. It is concluded, therefore, that the plastoquinone of the stroma lamellae is not available to the PS II in the grana and that plastoquinone does not act as a long range electron transport shuttler between the grana and stroma lamellae.Compared with Photosystem II particles prepared by detergent (Triton X-100) treatment, the BS vesicles retain more cytochrome b/f complex and are more homogenous in their surface properties, as revealed by countercurrent distribution, and they have a more efficient energy transfer from the antenna pigments to the reaction center.Abbreviations DCMU

The structural-functional organization of higher plant chloroplasts has been investigated in relation to the particular light conditions during plant growth. (1) Light intensity variations during growth caused changes in the ratio, in the light-saturated uncoupled rates of electron transport to a Hill oxidant and in the distribution of the chloroplast volume between the membrane and stroma phases. (2) Light quality differences during growth had an effect on the PS II/PS I reaction center ratio and on the chloroplast membrane phase differentiation into grana and stroma thylakoids. Plants grown under far-red-enriched (680–710 nm) illumination contained higher (20–25%) amounts of PS II and simultaneously lower (20–25%) amounts of PS I reaction centers. They also showed a higher grana density along with thicker grana stacks in their chloroplasts. (3) The size of the light-harvesting antenna pool of PS II centers was estimated from the fluorescence time course of 3-(3′,4′-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea-poisoned chloroplasts and was found to be fairly constant (±10%) in spite of the variable PS II/PS I reaction center ratio. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that the structural entities of grana facilitated the centralization and relative concentration increase of a certain group of PS II reaction centers. 相似文献

Recent work on the domain organization of the thylakoid is reviewed and a model for the thylakoid of higher plants is presented. According to this model the thylakoid membrane is divided into three main domains: the stroma lamellae, the grana margins and the grana core (partitions). These have different biochemical compositions and have specialized functions. Linear electron transport occurs in the grana while cyclic electron transport is restricted to the stroma lamellae. This model is based on the following results and considerations. (1) There is no good candidate for a long-range mobile redox carrier between PS II in the grana and PS I in the stroma lamellae. The lateral diffusion of plastoquinone and plastocyanin is severely restricted by macromolecular crowding in the membrane and the lumen respectively. (2) There is an excess of 14±18% chlorophyll associated with PS I over that of PS II. This excess is assumed to be localized in the stroma lamellae where PS I drives cyclic electron transport. (3) For several plant species, the stroma lamellae account for 20±3% of the thylakoid membrane and the grana (including the appressed regions, margins and end membranes) for the remaining 80%. The amount of stroma lamellae (20%) corresponds to the excess (14–18%) of chlorophyll associated with PS I. (4) The model predicts a quantum requirement of about 10 quanta per oxygen molecule evolved, which is in good agreement with experimentally observed values. (5) There are at least two pools of each of the following components: PS I, PS II, cytochrome bf complex, plastocyanin, ATP synthase and plastoquinone. One pool is in the grana and the other in the stroma compartments. So far, it has been demonstrated that the PS I, PS II and cytochrome bf complexes each differ in their respective pools.Abbreviations PS I and PS II

In higher plants, thylakoid membrane protein complexes show lateral heterogeneity in their distribution: photosystem (PS) II complexes are mostly located in grana stacks, whereas PSI and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase are mostly found in the stroma-exposed thylakoids. However, recent research has revealed strong dynamics in distribution of photosystems and their light harvesting antenna along the thylakoid membrane. Here, the dark-adapted spinach ( Spinacia oleracea L.) thylakoid network was mechanically fragmented and the composition of distinct PSII-related proteins in various thylakoid subdomains was analyzed in order to get more insights into the composition and localization of various PSII subcomplexes and auxiliary proteins during the PSII repair cycle. Most of the PSII subunits followed rather equal distribution with roughly 70% of the proteins located collectively in the grana thylakoids and grana margins; however, the low molecular mass subunits PsbW and PsbX as well as the PsbS proteins were found to be more exclusively located in grana thylakoids. The auxiliary proteins assisting in repair cycle of PSII were mostly located in stroma-exposed thylakoids, with the exception of THYLAKOID LUMEN PROTEIN OF 18.3 (TLP18.3), which was more evenly distributed between the grana and stroma thylakoids. The TL29 protein was present exclusively in grana thylakoids. Intriguingly, PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION5 (PGR5) was found to be distributed quite evenly between grana and stroma thylakoids, whereas PGR5-LIKE PHOTOSYNTHETIC PHENOTYPE1 (PGRL1) was highly enriched in the stroma thylakoids and practically missing from the grana cores.

The light environment during plant growth determines the structural and functional properties of higher plant chloroplasts, thus revealing a dynamically regulated developmental system. Pisum sativum plants growing under intermittent illumination showed chloroplasts with fully functional photosystem (PS) II and PSI reaction centers that lacked the peripheral chlorophyll (Chi) a/b and Chl a light-harvesting complexes (LHC), respectively. The results suggest a light flux differential threshold regulation in the biosynthesis of the photosystem core and peripheral antenna complexes. Sun-adapted species and plants growing under far-red-depleted illumination showed grana stacks composed of few (3–5) thylakoids connected with long intergrana (stroma) thylakoids. They had a PSII/PSI reaction center ratio in the range 1.3–1.9. Shade-adapted species and plants growing under far-red-enrichcd illumination showed large grana stacks composed of several thylakoids, often extending across the entire chloroplast body, and short intergrana stroma thylakoids. They had a higher PSII/PSI reaction center ratio, in the range of 2.2–4.0. Thus, the relative extent of grana and stroma thylakoid formation corresponds with the relative amounts of PSII and PSI in the chloroplast, respectively. The structural and functional adaptation of the photosynthetic membrane system in response to the quality of illumination involves mainly a control on the rate of PSII and PSI complex biosynthesis. 相似文献

The lateral distribution of the main chlorophyll-protein complexes between appressed and non-appressed thylakoid membranes has been studied. The reaction centre complexes of Photosystems I and II and the light-harvesting complex have been resolved by an SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic method which permits most of the chlorophyll to remain protein-bound. The analyses were applied to subchloroplast fractions shown to be derived from different thylakoid regions. Stroma thylakoids were separated from grana stacks by centrifugation following chloroplast disruption by press treatment or digitonin. Vesicles derived from the grana partitions were isolated by aqueous polymer two-phase partition. A substantial depletion in the amount of Photosystem I chlorophyll-protein complex and an enrichment in the Photosystem II reaction centre complex and the light-harvesting complex occurred in the appressed grana partition region. The high enrichment in this fraction compared to grana stack fractions derived from press or digitonin treatments, suggests that the grana Photosystem I is restricted mainly to the non-appressed grana end membranes and margins, and that the grana partitions possess mainly Photosystem II reaction centre complex and the light-harvesting complex. In contrast, stroma thylakoids are highly enriched in the Photosystem I reaction centre complex. They possess also some 10–20% of the total Photosystem II reaction centre complex and the light-harvesting complex. The ratio of light-harvesting complex to Photosystem II reaction centre complex is rather constant in all subchloroplast fractions suggesting a close association between these complexes. This was not so for the ratio of light-harvesting complex and the Photosystem I reaction centre complex. The lateral heterogeneity in the distribution of the photosystems between appressed and non-appressed membranes must have a profound impact on current understanding of both the distribution of excitation energy and photosynthetic electron transport between the photosystems. 相似文献

Yeda press disruption of thylakoids in the presence of magnesium followed by aqueous polymer two-phase partitioning fractionated the total thylakoid membrane material into two distinctly different fractions. One fraction comprised approx. 60% of the material on a chlorophyll basis and contained inside-out vesicles while the other fraction (40%) contained right-side-out vesicles. The sidedness of the vesicles was determined from the direction of their light-induced proton translocation. The inside-out vesicles showed a pronounced Photosystem (PS) II enrichment as judged by their high PS II and low PS I activities. Moreover, they showed a high ratio between the PS II reaction centre chlorophyll-protein complex and the PS I reaction centre chlorophyll-protein complex (CP I). The chlorophyll ratio was as low as 2.3 compared to 3.2 for the starting material. In contrast, the right-side-out vesicles showed a pronounced PS I enrichment. Their chlorophyll ratio was 4.3–4.9. The tight stacking induced by Mg 2+ allows a quantitative formation of inside-out vesicles from the appressed thylakoid regions while mainly non-appressed thylakoids turn right-side-out. The possibility of fractionating all of the thylakoid material into two sub-populations with markedly different composition with respect to PS I and PS II argues against a close physical association between the two photosystems and in favour of their spatial separation in the plane of the membrane. This fractionation procedure, which can be completed within 1 h and gives high yields of both PS II inside-out thylakoids and PS I right-side-out thylakoids, should be very useful for facilitating and improving studies on both the transverse and lateral organization of the thylakoid membrane. 相似文献

Four procedures utilizing different detergent and salt conditions were used to isolate oxygen-evolving Photosystem II (PS II) preparations from spinach thylakoid membranes. These PS II preparations have been characterized by freeze-fracture electron microscopy, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, steady-state and pulsed oxygen evolution, 77 K fluorescence, and room-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance. All of the O 2-evolving PS II samples were found to be highly purified grana membrane fractions composed of paired, appressed membrane fragments. The lumenal surfaces of the membranes and thus the O 2-evolving enzyme complex, are directly exposed to the external environment. Biochemical and biophysical analyses indicated that all four preparations are enriched in the chlorophyll complex and Photosystem II, and depleted to varying degrees in the stroma-associated components, Photosystem I and the CF 1-ATPase. The four PS II samples also varied in their cytochrome f content. All preparations showed enhanced stability of oxygen production and oxygen-rate electrode activity compared to control thylakoids, apparently promoted by low concentrations of residual detergent in the PS II preparations. A model is presented which summarizes the effects of the salt and detergent treatments on thylakoid structure and, consequently, on the configuration and composition of the oxygen-evolving PS II samples. 相似文献

Summary The repartition of light-harvesting complex (LHC) and photosystem I (PS I) complex has been examined in isolated plastids of Fucus serratus by immunocytochemical labelling. LHC is distributed equally all along the length of thylakoid membranes, without any special repartition in the appressed membranes of the three associated thylakoids of Fucus. PS I is present on all the thylakoid membranes, but the external membranes of the three associated thylakoids are largely enriched relatively to the inner ones. This specific repartition of PSI on non-appressed membranes can be compared to the localization of PSI on stroma thylakoid membranes of higher plants and green algae. Consequently, although they share some common features with those of higher plants and green algae, the appressions of thylakoids in brown algae has neither the same structure nor the same functional role as typical grana stacked membranes in the repartition of the harvested energy.Abbreviations BSA

The photosynthetic unit includes the reaction centers (RC 1 and RC 2) and the light-harvesting complexes which contribute to evolution of one O 2 molecule. The light-harvesting complexes, that greatly expand the absorptance capacity of the reactions, have evolved along three principal lines. First, in green plants distinct chlorophyll (Chl) a/b-binding intrinsic membrane complexes are associated with RC 1 and RC 2. The Chl a/b-binding complexes may add about 200 additional chromophores to RC 2. Second, cyanobacteria and red algae have a significant type of antenna (with RC 2) in the form of phycobilisomes. A phycobilisome, depending on the size and phycobiliprotein composition adds from 700 to 2300 light-absorbing chromophores. Red algae also have a sizable Chl a-binding complex associated with RC 1, contributing an additional 70 chromophores. Third, in chromophytes a variety of carotenoid-Chl-complexes are found. Some are found associated with RC 1 where they may greatly enhance the absorptance capacity. Association of complexes with RC 2 has been more difficult to ascertain, but is also expected in chromophytes. The apoprotein framework of the complexes provides specific chromophore attachment sites, which assures a directional energy transfer whithin complexes and between complexes and reaction centers. The major Chl-binding antenna proteins generally have a size of 16–28 kDa, whether of chlorophytes, chromophytes, or rhodophytes. High sequence homology observed in two of three transmembrane regions, and in putative chlorophyll-binding residues, suggests that the complexes are related and probably did not evolve from widely divergent polyphyletic lines.Abbreviations APC

A rapid procedure to fractionate the thylakoid membrane into two well-separated vesicle populations, one originating from the grana and the other from the stroma-membrane region, has been developed. This was achieved by sonication of thylakoids present in an aqueous two-phase system followed by partitioning either by countercurrent distribution or by a batch procedure in three steps. The membrane populations were analysed according to their composition and photochemical activities. The grana membranes comprise, on chlorophyll basis, about 60% of the thylakoid material and are enriched in PS II, but also contain some PS I, while the stroma membranes comprise about 40% and are enriched in PS I, but also contain some PS II. Cytochrome f was slightly enriched in the grana-derived vesicle fraction. The properties of both PS I and PS II differ between the two populations. The PS I of the grana fraction (PS I ) reached half-saturation at about half the light intensity of the PS I in the stroma-membrane fraction (PS I β). The rate of P-700 photooxidation under low light illumination was higher for PS I than for PS I β (30% larger rate constant), showing that PS I has a larger antenna. The PS II of the grana fraction (PS II ) reached half-saturation at half the light intensity compared to the PS II of the stroma-membrane fraction (PS II β). The results show that the grana-derived membranes contain PS I and PS II which have larger functional antenna sizes than the corresponding PS I β and PS II β of the stroma membranes. The results suggest that the photosystems of the grana are designed to allow effective electron transport both at low and high light intensities, while the stroma-membrane photosystems mainly work at high light intensities as a supplement to the grana systems. 相似文献

Structurally and functionally different tobacco chloroplasts were subjected to digitonin treatment and subsequent fractional centrifugation. The light-harvesting complex was found to be enriched in the most dense fraction regardless of the presence of grana in the original preparation. It is suggested that isolated thylakoid membranes and fragments thereof which contain sufficient light-harvesting protein may, under appropriate ionic conditions, form aggregates even when they originate from unstacked thylakoid systems. Comparative studies of fluorescence properties and polypeptide composition of the thylakoids suggest that the light-harvesting protein does not contribute significantly to the fluorescence spectrum of isolated chloroplasts as long as this protein is intimately associated with the Photosystem II (PS II) pigment-protein complex responsible for the 685 nm emission. While the PS II-deficient mutant chloroplasts of the variegated tobacco variety NC 95 lacked both the 685 nm fluorescence component and two or three PS II proteins, one of these proteins was found to be very prominent in our chlorophyll b-deficient mutant thylakoids which also displayed an intense 685 nm fluorescence peak. This correlation supports the contention that a 45 kdalton polypeptide is an apoprotein of pigments associated with the PS II reaction center. 相似文献

Excitation of photosynthetic systems with short intense flashes is known to lead to exciton-exciton annihilation processes. Here we quantify the effect of competition between annihilation and trapping for Photosystem II, Photosystem I (thylakoids from peas and membranes from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp.), as well as for the purple bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum. In none of the cases it was possible to reach complete product saturation (i.e. closure of reaction centers) even with an excitation energy exceeding 10 hits per photosynthetic unit. The parameter introduced by Deprez et al. ((1990) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1015: 295–303) describing the competition between exciton-exciton annihilation and trapping was calculated to range between 4.5 (PS II) and 6 ( Rs. rubrum). The rate constants for bimolecular exciton-exciton annihilation ranged between (42 ps) -1 and (2.5 ps) -1 for PS II and PS I-membranes of Synechocystis, respectively. The data are interpreted in terms of hopping times (i.e. mean residence time of the excited state on a chromophore) according to random walk in isoenergetic antenna.Abbreviations DCMU

The dephosphorylation of seven phosphoproteins associated with Photosystem II or its chlorophyll a/b antenna in spinach thylakoids, was characterised. The rates were found to fall into two distinct groups. One, rapidly dephosphorylated, consisted of the two subunits (25 and 27 kD) of the major light harvesting complex of Photosystem II (LHC II) and a 12 kD polypeptide of unknown identity. A marked correlation between the dephosphorylation of these three phosphoproteins, strongly suggested that they were all dephosphorylated by the same enzyme. Within this group, the 25 kD subunit was consistently dephosphorylated most rapidly, probably reflecting its exclusive location in the peripheral pool of LHC II. The other group, only slowly dephosphorylated, included several PS II proteins such as the D1 and D2 reaction centre proteins, the chlorophyll- a binding protein CP43 and the 9 kD PS II-H phosphoprotein. No dephosphorylation was observed in either of the two groups in the absence of Mg 2+-ions. Dephosphorylation of the two LHC II subunits took place in both grana and stroma-exposed regions of the thylakoid membrane. However, deposphorylation in the latter region was significantly more rapid, indicating a preferential dephosphorylation of the peripheral (or mobile) LHC II. Dephosphorylation of LHC II was found to be markedly affected by the redox state of thiol-groups, which may suggest a possible regulation of LHC II dephosphorylation involving the ferredoxin-thioredoxin system.Abbreviations CP 43

The functional state of the PS II population localized in the stroma exposed non-appressed thylakoid region was investigated by direct analysis of the PS II content of isolated stroma thylakoid vesicles. This PS II population, possessing an antenna size typical for PS II , was found to have a fully functional oxygen evolving capacity in the presence of an added quinone electron acceptor such as phenyl- p-benzoquinone. The sensitivity to DCMU for this PS II population was the same as for PS II in control thylakoids. However, under more physiological conditions, in the absence of an added quinone acceptor, no oxygen was evolved from stroma thylakoid vesicles and their PS II centers were found to be incapable to pass electrons to PS I and to yield NADPH. By comparison of the effect of a variety of added quinone acceptors with different midpoint potentials, it is concluded that the inability of PS II in the stroma thylakoid membranes to contribute to NADPH formation probably is due to that Q A of this population is not able to reduce PQ, although it can reduce some artificial acceptors like phenyl- p-benzoquinone. These data give further support to the notion of a discrete PS II population in the non-appressed stroma thylakoid region, PS II , having a higher midpoint potential of Q A than the PS II population in the appressed thylakoid region, PS II . The physiological significance of a PS II population that does not produce any NADPH is discussed.Abbreviations pBQ

Phosphorylation in vitro of the light-harvesting chlorophyll protein complex associated with Photosystem II (LHC II) resulted in the lateral migration of a subpopulation of LHC II from the grana to the stroma lamellae. This movement was characterized by a decrease in the chlorophyll ratio and an increase in the 77 K fluorescence emission at 681 nm in the stroma lamellae following phosphorylation. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that the principal phosphoproteins under these conditions were polypeptides of 26–27 kDa. These polypeptides increased in relative amount in the stroma lamellae and decreased in the grana during phosphorylation. Pulse/chase experiments confirmed that the polypeptides were labelled in the grana and moved to the stroma lamellae in the subsequent chase period. A fraction at the phospho-LHC II, however, was unable to move and remained associated with the grana fraction. LHC II which moved out into the stroma lamellae effectively sensitized Photosystem I (PS I), since the ability to excite fluorescence emission at 735 nm (at 77 K) by chlorophyll b was increased following phosphorylation. These data support the ‘mobile antenna’ hypothesis proposed by Kyle, Staehelin and Arntzen (Arch. Biochem. Biophys. (1983) 222, 527–541) which states that the alterations in the excitation-energy distribution induced by LHC II phosphorylation are, in part, due to the change in absorptive cross-section of PS II and PS I, resulting specifically from the movement of LHC II antennae chlorophylls from the PS-II-enriched grana to the PS-I-enriched stroma lamellae. 相似文献

The effect of different external salt concentrations, from 0 mM to 1030 mM NaCl, on photosynthetic complexes and chloroplast ultrastructure in the halophyte Arthrocnemum macrostachyum was studied. Photosystem II, but not Photosystem I or cytochrome b6/f, was affected by salt treatment. We found that the PsbQ protein was never expressed, whereas the amounts of PsbP and PsbO were influenced by salt in a complex way. Analyses of Photosystem II intrinsic proteins showed an uneven degradation of subunits with a loss of about 50% of centres in the 0 mM NaCl treated sample. Also the shape of chloroplasts, as well as the organization of thylakoid membranes were affected by NaCl concentration, with many grana containing few thylakoids at 1030 mM NaCl and thicker grana and numerous swollen thylakoids at 0 mM NaCl. The PsbQ protein was found to be depleted also in thylakoids from other halophytes. 相似文献

Plant thylakoid membranes contain three structurally distinct domains: the planar appressed membranes of the grana; the planar non-appressed stroma thylakoids; and the highly curved, non-appressed margins of the grana. Evidence is presented to suggest that the grana margins form a significant structural domain, which has hitherto been neglected. If indeed the grana margins contain some of the cytochrome b/f complex, photosystem (PS) I complex and ATP synthase, they form a third functional domain of the laterally heterogeneous continuous thylakoid membrane network. The consequences of grana margins containing complexes are explored with respect to linear electron transport under light-saturating and light-limiting conditions, non-cyclic vs cyclic photophorylation, and the regulation of light energy distribution to both PS I and PS II. 相似文献
