Summary iserum against two polypeptides of the major fucoxanthin-chlorophylla/c light-harvesting complex of the diatomPhaeodactylum tricornutum and heterologous antiserum against purified photosystem I particles of maize were used to localize these two complexes on the thylakoid membranes ofP. tricornutum. As in many chromophyte algae, the thylakoids are loosely appressed and organized into extended bands of three, giving a ratio of 21 for appressed versus non-appressed membranes. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the fucoxanthin-chlorophylla/c light-harvesting complex, which is believed to be associated with photosystem II, was equally distributed on the appressed and non-appressed thylakoid membranes. Photosystem I was also found on both types of membranes, but was slightly more concentrated on the two outer non-appressed membranes of each band. Similarly, photosystem I activity, as measured by the photooxidation of 3,3-diaminobenzidine, was higher in the outer thylakoids than in the central thylakoid of each band. We conclude that the thylakoids of diatoms differ from those of green algae and higher plants in their macromolecular organization as well as in their morphological arrangement.Abbreviations BSA

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 QA 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 QA 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

A potent toxin with phospholipase A2 (PLA2) and hemolytic activity in vitro was purified from the Russell's viper venom of eastern India (RVV-EI). The purified protein (RVV-PFIIc) of 15.3 kDa molecular weight, and a lethal toxicity dose (LD50 i.p.) of 0.1 mg/kg body weight, was the most toxic PLA2 so far reported from the Indian subcontinent. The material also possessed anticoagulant activity as it enhanced the prothrombin induced plasma clotting time in vitro. The PLA2 toxin (RVV-PFIIc) was shown to be different from other PLA2s of RVV in respect to one or more of these parameters e.g. molecular weight, isoelectric pH, in vivo toxicity, specific activity of the enzyme and certain other biological activities. The first 19 amino terminal sequence (NLFQFAEMIVKMTGKEAVH) of RVV-PFIIc showed variable degree of homology (42.1–94.7%) with those of other RVV-PLA2s described in the literature. Antisera raised against RVV-EI or RVV-PFIIc, though completely neutralized the in vivo lethal toxicity of RVV-EI or RVV-PFIIc, failed to inhibit their PLA2 activity in vitro thereby suggesting that in vivo toxicity and in vitro activity of the enzyme may not be directly related. Apart from RVV-PFIIc, at least two other PLA2 isozymes were found to be present in RVV-EI that were distinct from RVV-PFIIc in respect to their molecular, biological as well as serological properties. The significance of these and related data in antivenom therapy is discussed. 相似文献

Evaluation of the role of State transitions in determining the efficiency of light utilisation for CO2 assimilation in leaves 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Wheat leaves were exposed to light treatments that excite preferentially Photosystem I (PS I) or Photosystem II (PS II) and induce State 1 or State 2, respectively. Simultaneous measurements of CO2 assimilation, chlorophyll fluorescence and absorbance at 820 nm were used to estimate the quantum efficiencies of CO2 assimilation and PS II and PS I photochemistry during State transitions. State transitions were found to be associated with changes in the efficiency with which an absorbed photon is transferred to an open PS II reaction centre, but did not correlate with changes in the quantum efficiencies of PS II photochemistry or CO2 assimilation. Studies of the phosphorylation status of the light harvesting chlorophyll protein complex associated with PS II (LHC II) in wheat leaves and using chlorina mutants of barley which are deficient in this complex demonstrate that the changes in the effective antennae size of Photosystem II occurring during State transitions require LHC II and correlate with the phosphorylation status of LHC II. However, such correlations were not found in maize leaves. It is concluded that State transitions in C3 leaves are associated with phosphorylation-induced modifications of the PS II antennae, but these changes do not serve to optimise the use of light absorbed by the leaf for CO2 assimilation.Abbreviations Fm, Fo, Fv

Rabbit anti-mouse-Ia serum was raised against Ia specificities present in CBAJH (H-2
k) serum. This xenogeneic antiserum was considered to react with similar specificities to those detected by mouse anti-Iak alloantisera and more evidence is now presented for this contention. By absorption, the xenogeneic antiserum was found to react with spleen, lymph node, bone marrow, and thymus, reactions similar to that found with the allogeneic anti-Iak antiserum. Furthermore, red cells, platelets, brain, kidney, and liver could not absorb the activity from the xenogeneic antiserum, demonstrating the selective tissue distribution of the antigens reactive with this serum. This reactive population was previously shown to consist of B cells and a subpopulation of T cells. In a backcross study of (C57BL/6 × A)F1 × C57BL/6, the rabbit anti-Ia and mouse anti-Ia reactions were found to segregate together, and some evidence for the genetic regulation of the expression of Ia specificities was also found. By direct testing, and by absorption testing using a number of strains, the xenogeneic antiserum was shown to contain high titers of antibody to Ia.1, 3, 7, 15, and 17; lower titers to Ia.19, and 22; little antibody to Ia.18, and no reaction for the private specificity Ia. 2, although the multiple absorptions required to define these specificities may have observed some reactions. The data indicate that the xenogeneic and allogeneic anti-Iak antisera recognize similar Ia determinants, which map to theLA, IE andIC subregions of theH-2 complex. These have been given the same specificity designation as the allogeneic specificities, but they are separately identified by a prime ('). 相似文献

Light activation of either NADP-malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.82) or fructose-1,6-bisphosphate phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) was assayed in a reconstituted chloroplastic, system comprising the isolated proteins of the ferredoxin-thioredoxin light-activation system and thylakoids from either mesophyll or bundle-sheath tissues of different C4 plants. While C4-plant thylakoids functionned almost equally well with C3-or C4-plant proteins, the photosyntem-II-deficient bundle-sheath thylakoids from the NADP-malic enzyme type, were unable to perform enzyme photoactivation unless supplemented with an electron donor to photosystem I. Bundle-sheath thylakoids isolated from plants showing no photosystem-II deficiency did not require such an addition. The results are discussed with respect to a possible requirement for a physiological reductant of ferredoxin for enzyme light activation in bundle-sheath, tissues.Abbreviations Chl

The rate of CO2- and p-benzoquione-dependent photosynthetic O2 evolution by Anabaena variabilis cells remained unaltered and the rate of O2 uptake observed after switching off the light (endogenous respiration) was enhanced by a factor of 6–8 when the O2 concentration was increased from 200 to 400 M. Photosystem-I-linked O2 uptake and respiration of the cells incubated with ascorbate and N,N,NN-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine was not appreciable influenced by the O2 concentration. 2-Iodo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-2,4,4-trinitrodiphenyl ether, blocking electron transfer at the plastoquinone level, suppressed O2 evolution and had no influence on endogenous respiration. 2-n-Heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide, an inhibitor of electron transfer between photosystems II and I, as well as the cytochrome-oxidase inhibitors N

The molar ratio of cytochromes b6, f, c-553, aa3 and photosystem-I reaction centers in the isolated membranes equalled approx. 2:1:2:0.7:2. It is inferred that endogenous respiration of A. variabilis cells is inhibited by the light-induced electron flow through both photosystems at the level of the plastoquinone-plastocyanin-oxidoreductase complex.Abbreviations DCMU

A quantitative analysis of JPH scalar couplings in nucleic acids is difficult due to small couplings to phosphorus, the extreme overlap of the sugar protons and the fast relaxation of the spins involved in the magnetization transfer. Here we present a new methodology that relies on heteronuclear Constant Time Correlation Spectroscopy (CT-COSY). The three vicinal 3JPH3, 3JPH5 and 3JPH5 scalar couplings can be obtained by monitoring the intensity decay of the Pi-H3i – 1 peak as a function of the constant time T in a 2D correlation map. The advantage of the new method resides in the possibility of measuring the two 3JPH5 and 3JPH5 scalar couplings even in the presence of overlapped H5/H5 resonances, since the quantitative information is extracted from the intensity decay of the P-H3 peak. Moreover, the relaxation of the H3 proton is considerably slower than that of the H5/H5 geminal protons and the commonly populated conformations of the phosphate backbone are associated with large 3JPH3 couplings and relatively small 3JPH5 / H5. These two facts lead to optimal signal-to-noise ratio for the P-H3 correlation compared to the P-H5/H5 correlation.The heteronuclear CT-COSY experiment is suitable for oligonucleotides in the 10–15 kDa molecular mass range and has been applied to the 30mer HIV-2 TAR RNA. The methodology presented here can be used to measure P-H dipolar couplings (DPH) as well. We will present qualitative results for the measurement of P-Hbase and P-H2 dipolar couplings in the HIV-2 TAR RNA and will discuss the reasons that so far precluded the quantification of the DPHs for the 30mer RNA. 相似文献

A method is described for the isolation and purification of active oxygen-evolving photosystem II (PS II) membranes from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The isolation procedure is a modification of methods evolved for spinach (Berthold et al. 1981). The purity and integrity of the PS II preparations have been assesssed on the bases of the polypeptide pattern in SDS-PAGE, the rate of oxygen evolution, the EPR multiline signal of the S2 state, the room temperature chlorophyll a fluorescence yield, the 77 K emission spectra, and the P700 EPR signal at 300 K. These data show that the PS II characteristics are increased by a factor of two in PS II preparations as compared to thylakoid samples, and the PS I concentration is reduced by approximately a factor ten compared to that in thylakoids.Abbreviations BSA

Thylakoid membranes obtained from bean chloroplasts treated with bean galactolipase or phospholipase A2 (from Crotalus terr. terr.) showed marked changes in their polypeptide patterns when separated on SDS-PAGE. The obtained results have been discussed with regard to the relationship between chloroplast lipids and polypeptides originating from chlorophyll-protein complexes of bean thylakoids. A coexistence between galactolipids and the peripheral antennae in PS I complex and LHCP3 as well as a conspicuous role of phospholipids in PSI and PSII centre chlorophyll-protein complexes has to be underlined.Abbreviations CP1

The fluorescent probe 9-amino-6-chloro-2-methoxy acridine was used to study the energy transduction in the thylakoid and cell membranes of the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum. Apart from light-driven electron transfer, the dark endogenous respiration also leads to energization resulting in an ACMA fluorescence response, that is sensitive to the electron flow inhibitor 2, 5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone, to the energy transfer inhibitors dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and venturicidine and to the uncoupler 5-chloro-3-t-butyl-2-chloro-4-nitrosalicylanilide.In spheroplasts, in which the cell membranes have lost their capacity to maintain a proton gradient, the respiration-and light-induced ACMA fluorescence changes (quenching) are similar to those in chloroplasts. In intact cells a combination of reversible quenching and enhancement of ACMA fluorescence was found. This dualistic behaviour is supposedly caused by an opposite orientation of the thylakoid and cell membranes. ACMA quenching at the level of the thylakoids was obtained either by respiratory or photosynthetic electron transfer and gave similar responses to those obtained in the spheroplasts. The slower ACMA fluorescence enhancement, only observed in cells with intact cell membranes, also evoked by both respiration and light-induced energization is sensitive to the compounds mentioned above and in addition to KCN.Our results support the view [8] that dark oxidation of substrates by O2 proceeds via the thylakoid membrane and terminates at a CN- sensitive oxidase located in the cell membrane which requires the involvement of a mobile cytoplasmic redox mediator.Abbreviations ACMA

The tetrasaccharides GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4Glc and GalNAcß1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galß1-4GlcNAc were synthesised by enzymic transfer of GalNAc from UDP-GalNAc to 3-sialyllactose (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4Glc) and 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine (NeuAc2-3Galß1-4GlcNAc). The structures of the products were established by methylation and1H-500 MHz NMR spectroscopy. In Sda serological tests the product formed with 3-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine was highly active whereas that formed with 3-sialyllactose had only weak activity. 相似文献

The ATP synthase complex of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KF1F0) has been purified and characterized. SDS-gel electrophoresis of the purified F1F0 complexes revealed an identical subunit pattern for E. coli (EF1F0) and K. pneumoniae. Antibodies raised against EF1 complex and purified EF0 subunits recognized the corresponding polypeptides of EF1F0 and KF1F0 in immunoblot analysis. Protease digestion of the individual subunits generated an identical cleavage pattern for subunits , , , , a, and c of both enzymes. Only for subunit different cleavage products were obtained. The isolated subunit c of both organisms showed only a slight deviation in the amino acid composition. These data suggest that extensive homologies exist in primary and secondary structure of both ATP synthase complexes reflecting a close phylogenetic relationship between the two enterobacteric tribes.Abbreviations ACMA

Zusammenfassung Serumproben von 1322 Blutspendern aus Hessen, 40 Familien mit 89 Kindern, 20 Mutter-Kind-Kombinationen und 268 Sera einer Bantupopulation aus Portugiesisch Angola wurden mit einer modifizierten Technik der Hochspannungs-Dünnschichtelektrophorese auf Agarosegel hinsichtlich des C3-Polymorphismus untersucht. Die Genfrequenzen für Weiße (C3S=0.779, C3F=0.215) und Neger (C3S=0.95, C3F=0,048) stimmen gut mit den Werten anderer Autoren überein. Insgesamt ließen sich bei Weißen 9 Phänotypen sicher abgrenzen, bei Negern 3. Familienstudien bestätigten den für die Allele C3S und C3F angenommenen Vererbungsmodus (autosomal codominant) ausnahmslos. Die Frage der Lagerungsstabilität des C3 wurde abschließend untersucht.
Investigations on C3-polymorphism ( 1c-Globulin)Gene frequencies and family studies in blood donors from Hessen and a Bantu population
Summary Serum samples of 1322 unrelated individuals from Hessen (Germany), 40 families with 89 children, 20 mother-child-combinations and 268 sera of a Bantu population from Angola were examined for C3 polymorphism using a modified technique of high voltage agarose gel electrophoresis. The gene frequencies for Caucasians (C3S=0.779, C3F=0.215) and negroes (C3S=0.95, CF=0.048) are in good accordance with those obtained by other authors. In total 9 different phenotypes were observed in Caucasians, 3 phenotypes in negroes. Family studies verify the supposed way of inheritance (autosomal codominant for C3S and C3F) without exception. Finally the problem of C3-inactivation by storage was investigated.相似文献

Xanthophyll cycle and light stress in nature: uniform response to excess direct sunlight among higher plant species 总被引:73,自引:0,他引:73
Photosystem II (PS II) efficiency, nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching, and xanthophyll cycle composition were determined in situ in the natural environment at midday in (i) a range of differently angled sun leaves ofEuonymus kiautschovicus Loesener and (ii) in sun leaves of a wide range of different plant species, including trees, shrubs, and herbs. Very different degrees of light stress were experienced by these leaves (i) in response to different levels of incident photon flux densities at similar photosynthetic capacities amongEuonymus leaves and (ii) as a result of very different photosynthetic capacities among species at similar incident photon flux densities (that were equivalent to full sunlight). ForEuonymus as well as the interspecific comparison all data fell on one single, close relationship for changes in intrinsic PSII efficiency, nonphotochemical fluorescence quenching, or the levels of zeaxanthin + antheraxanthin in leaves, respectively, as a function of the actual level of light stress. Thus, the same conversion state of the xanthophyll cycle and the same level of energy dissipation were observed for a given degree of light stress independent of species or conditions causing the light stress. Since all increases in thermal energy dissipation were associated with increases in the levels of zeaxanthin + antheraxanthin in these leaves, there was thus no indication of any form of xanthophyll cycle-independent energy dissipation in any of the twenty-four species or varieties of plants examined in their natural environment. It is also concluded that transient diurnal changes in intrinsic PSII efficiency in nature are caused by changes in the efficiency with which excitation energy is delivered from the antennae to PSII centers, and are thus likely to be purely photoprotective. Consequently, the possibility of quantifying the allocation of absorbed light into PSII photochemistry versus energy dissipation in the antennae from changes in intrinsic PSII efficiency is explored.Abbreviations A

Photoinhibition of photosynthesis represents a mechanism for the long-term regulation of photosystem II 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
The obligate shade plant, Tradescantia albiflora Kunth grown at 50 mol photons · m–2 s–1 and Pisum sativum L. acclimated to two photon fluence rates, 50 and 300 mol · m–2 · s–1, were exposed to photoinhibitory light conditions of 1700 mol · m–2 · s–1 for 4 h at 22° C. Photosynthesis was assayed by measurement of CO2-saturated O2 evolution, and photosystem II (PSII) was assayed using modulated chlorophyll fluorescence and flash-yield determinations of functional reaction centres. Tradescantia was most sensitive to photoinhibition, while pea grown at 300 mol · m–2 · s–1 was most resistant, with pea grown at 50 mol · m–2 · s–1 showing an intermediate sensitivity. A very good correlation was found between the decrease of functional PSII reaction centres and both the inhibition of photosynthesis and PSII photochemistry. Photoinhibition caused a decline in the maximum quantum yield for PSII electron transport as determined by the product of photochemical quenching (qp) and the yield of open PSII reaction centres as given by the steady-state fluorescence ratio, FvFm, according to Genty et al. (1989, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 990, 81–92). The decrease in the quantum yield for PSII electron transport was fully accounted for by a decrease in FvFm, since qp at a given photon fluence rate was similar for photoinhibited and noninhibited plants. Under lightsaturating conditions, the quantum yield of PSII electron transport was similar in photoinhibited and noninhibited plants. The data give support for the view that photoinhibition of the reaction centres of PSII represents a stable, long-term, down-regulation of photochemistry, which occurs in plants under sustained high-light conditions, and replaces part of the regulation usually exerted by the transthylakoid pH gradient. Furthermore, by investigating the susceptibility of differently lightacclimated sun and shade species to photoinhibition in relation to qp, i.e. the fraction of open-to-closed PSII reaction centres, we also show that irrespective of light acclimation, plants become susceptible to photoinhibition when the majority of their PSII reaction centres are still open (i.e. primary quinone acceptor oxidized). Photoinhibition appears to be an unavoidable consequence of PSII function when light causes sustained closure of more than 40% of PSII reaction centres.Abbreviations Fo and Fo

PCC 7942. The isiB gene, which is located immediately downstream of isiA, encodes the protein flavodoxin, which can functionally replace ferredoxin under conditions of iron stress. We have constructed two cyanobacterial insertion mutants which are lacking (i) the CP 43 apoprotein (designated isiA
–) and (ii) flavodoxin (designated isiB
–). The function of CP 43 was studied by comparing the cell characteristics, PS II functional absorption cross-sections and Chl a fluorescence parameters from the wild-type, isiA
– and isiB
– strains grown under iron-stressed conditions. In all strains grown under iron deprivation, the cell number doubling time was maintained despite marked changes in pigment composition and other cell characteristics. This indicates that iron-starved cells remained viable and that their altered phenotype suggests an adequate acclimation to low iron even in absence of CP 43 and/or flavodoxin. Under both iron conditions, no differences were detected between the three strains in the functional absorption crossection of PS II determined from single turnover flash saturation curves of Chl a fluorescence. This demonstrates that CP 43 is not part of the functional light-harvesting antenna for PS II. In the wild-type and the isiB
– strain grown under iron-deficient conditions, CP 43 was present in the thylakoid membrane as an uncoupled Chl-protein complex. This was indicated by (1) an increase of the yield of prompt Chl a fluorescence (Fo) and (2) the persistence after PS II trap closure of a fast fluorescence decay component showing a maximum at 685 nm.Abbreviations Chl

The sugar conformation of a DNA decamer was studied with proton-proton 3J coupling constants. Two samples, one comprising stereospecifically labeled 2-R-2H for all residues and the other 2-S-2H, were prepared by the method of Kawashima et al. [J. Org. Chem. (1995) 60, 6980–6986; Nucleosides Nucleotides (1995) 14, 333–336], the deuterium labeling being highly stereospecific 99% for all 2-2H, 98% for 2-2H of A, C, and T, and 93% for 2-2H of G). The 3J values of all H1-H2 and H1-H2 pairs, and several H2-H3 and H2-H3 pairs were determined by line fitting of 1D spectra with 0.1–0.2 Hz precision. The observed J coupling constants were explained by the rigid sugar conformation model, and the sugar conformations were found to be between C3-exo and C2-endo with m values of 26° to 44°, except for the second and 3 terminal residues C2 and C10. For the C2 and C10 residues, the lower fraction of S-type conformation was estimated from JH1H2 and JH1H2 values. For C10, the N–S two-site jump model or Gaussian distribution of the torsion angle model could explain the observed J values, and 68% S-type conformation or C1-exo conformation with 27° distribution was obtained, respectively. The differences between these two motional models are discussed based on a simple simulation of J-coupling constants. 相似文献
