多变鱼腥藻锰和放氧的研究

用EPR法测定藻中游离Mn~(2+)量.当降低培养液中锰浓度或用6μM EDTA处理,使藻中游离Mn~(2+)量下降时,放氧活性不变.0.8MTros(pH8.5)使60%的结合锰释放出时,放氧活性完全被抑制.1mM NH_2OH·HCI已抑制放氧.≥20mM NH_2OH·HCI引起结合锰的释放.经Tris和NH_2OH·HCl处理后,藻的荧光发射光谱上F_(686)下降,F_(695)和 F_(730)上升.本文对鱼腥藻的锰库和放氧进行了初步讨论.     

NaCl(2 mol/L)处理PSⅡ颗粒的Ca~(2+)重结合

回加Ca~(2+)对 NaCl(2 mol/L)处理菠菜PSⅡ颗粒放氧活性的作用表现出有两种K_m值分别为 0.021和 0.545 mmol/L的高亲和与低亲和的Ca~(2+)重结合过程。高浓度NaCl和低 pH(3.0)处理去Ca的 PSⅡ颗粒的光抑制放氧活性半衰期(t_(1/2))明显减小。重结合Ca~(2+后,虽然大部办丧失的放氧活性可恢复,但PSⅡ颗粒放氧活性对光抑制的敏感性却并不随之恢复,t_(1/2)无明显改变。显然,重组Ca~(2+)的结合状态和作用与PSⅡ颗粒原有的结合Ca不完全相同。

Cu^2＋对蓝藻Spirulina maxima光合作用的抑制机理

Ｃｕ＾２＋Ｓｍａｘｉｍａ的生长和光合放氧均有抑制作用;高浓度Ｃｕ＾２＋使藻细胞中藻胆体产生的特征光吸收和荥光显著下降,表明藻胆体是Ｃｕ＾２＋作用位点之一。Ｃｕ＾２＋可促使离体的藻蓝蛋白变性,使其光吸收和荧光减弱、荧光偏振度减小,而别藻蓝蛋白对Ｃｕ＾２＋可能通过对藻胆体中的藻蓝蛋白的作用,抑制藻胆体的光收传递。     

大气CO2升高和紫外辐射相互作用对羊栖菜生理特性的影响

为了研究经济海藻羊栖菜对大气CO2浓度增加与紫外辐射(UVR)相互作用的响应,设置两个CO2浓度(380μL/L和800μL/L)以及两种辐射处理,即PAR处理(滤除UV-A、UV-B,藻体仅接受可见光,400—700nm)和PAB处理(全波长辐射280—700nm)培养海藻,探讨了羊栖菜生长、光合作用、呼吸作用、光合色素含量、可溶性糖和蛋白以及硝酸还原酶活性的变化情况。结果表明高浓度CO2显著提高羊栖菜藻体的相对生长速率,并且紫外辐射的负面效应在高CO2处理下表现不显著。高CO2降低了藻体的光合作用速率,而UVR的负面效应和生长体现为一致性,但是羊栖菜的呼吸作用没有受到环境变化的明显影响。羊栖菜的光合色素叶绿素a和类胡萝卜素在高浓度CO2处理下明显降低,而UVR没有明显影响。环境因子对羊栖菜的可溶性糖没有影响,但是在高CO2和全波长辐射处理下,藻体可溶性蛋白的含量显著增加。同时高CO2明显提高了硝酸还原酶的活性,并且仅在高浓度CO2处理下藻体中UVR对其活性有抑制作用。CO2和UVR对羊栖菜的大多数生理特性存在明显的交互作用,在未来CO2浓度进一步增加的情况下,UVR的负面效应将会得到一定程度的缓解,这样有利于羊栖菜在养殖海区获得更高的产量。

模拟春秋季水温 (2 2℃ )和夏季水温 (3 0℃ )环境 ,用不同浓度的苯酚处理铜绿微囊藻大型变种。结果显示 :正常水体中该藻在 3 0℃比 2 2℃生长快。浓度C≤ 2 0 0 μg/mL的苯酚对它的生长有促进作用 ,而浓度C≥ 40 0 μg/mL的苯酚则抑制其生长 ,高浓度苯酚胁迫下的藻细胞光合速率 ,可溶性蛋白含量下降 ;细胞膜透性增大 ;超氧阴离子 (O 2 )和丙二醛 (MDA)相对含量升高 ;超氧化物歧化酶 (SOD)活性降低 ,藻体自发荧光较对照减弱。表明该藻的生长更适合于夏季高温条件 ,且较高浓度苯酚对其有较强抑制作用。     

Cu~(2 )对蓝藻Spirulina maxima光合作用的抑制机理

Cu2 对S.maxima的生长和光合放氧均有抑制作用;高浓度Cu2 使藻细胞中藻胆体产生的特征光吸收和荧光显著下降,表明藻胆体是Cu2 作用位点之一。Cu2 可促使离体的藻蓝蛋白变性,使其光吸收和荧光减弱、荧光偏振度减小,而别藻蓝蛋白对Cu2 的作用不敏感。根据这些结果推测,Cu2 可能通过对藻胆体中的藻蓝蛋白的作用,抑制藻胆体的光能吸收和传递。     

光合放氧中心外围配体的理论研究

光合放氧中心外围配体如何与Mn簇结合目前很不明确. 选择放氧中心Mn2O2单元作为理论研究对象, 对组氨酸、水和Cl等配体与Mn簇的结合方式进行了研究, 得到如下结论: (1) 组氨酸和H2O分子应与Mn2O2平面垂直, 彼此保持较大的距离, 且结合于不同Mn离子上; (2) 两个H2O分子不可能结合在同一个Mn2O2单元上. 结合目前放氧中心Mn簇骨架结构, 从理论上阐明了在S0状态下, 两个水分子与放氧中心"C"形结构开口端的两个Mn离子结合, 两个组氨酸分别与"C"形结构闭口端的两个Mn离子结合; Cl结合位点只可能在"C"形结构的开口端. 在此基础上, 对当前争议较大的Mn价态进行了归属.     

Studies on Substitutions Among Mn,Ca and Mg Ions and Oxygen Evolution of Anabaena Variabilis

he changes of Mn2+ contents in Anabaena variabilis were probed by EPR. Treatments with CaCl2 and Ca (NO3)2 at high concentrations induced the release of bound Mn and the decrease of oxygen-evolving activity of the cyanobacterium. When the release percentage of bound Mn reached up to 57%, the oxygen-evolving activity decreased to zero. MgCl2 treatment resulted in less effectiveness than CaCl2 MnCl2 at high concentration inhibited cyanobacterial oxygen evolution, as the indication of EGTA. In the comparision with control the low temperature fluorescence emission spectra of the cyanobacterium treated by CaCl2, MgCl2 and MnCl2 changed with the shoulder disappearance at 686 nm and the decline of ratio of F730/F695 The possible competitive substitutions among ions at their binding sites in oxygen-evolving complex were discussed.

盐胁迫下Ca~(2 )对小麦根无机离子分布和膜脂脂肪酸的影响

用扫描电镜、X—射线能谱仪和等离子耦合吸收光谱(ICP)分析发现,培养在含NaCl培养液中,小麦柜吸收大量Na~ 和Cl~-,K~ 和Ca~(2 )的吸收降低,质膜相对透性提高,K~ 、Na~ 和Cl~-的相对外渗百分率增加。培养在补充CaCl_2含NaCl培养液的,Na~ 和Cl~-含量明显减低,K~ 和Ca~(2 )提高,质膜相对透性下降,K~ 、Na~ 和Cl~-相对外渗百分率减少。由气相色谱分析可知,用含NaCl或补充CaCl_2培养液培养的幼苗,根的膜脂脂肪酸组分没有变化,但培养在补充CaCl_2的培养液中的根,亚麻酸含量和脂肪酸不饱和指数下降。     

An oxygen-evolving complex with a simple subunit structure - ‘a water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase” - from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp.

An oxygen-evolving complex has been highly purified from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. The complex, which reproducibly showed 5 major polypeptide bands of 47, 40, 35, 30 and 9 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and contained 3.2 Mn per Q_A, had an oxygen-evolving activity of 300–400 μmol/mg chl per h in the presence of 5 mM MnCl₂; or CaCl₂. The complex most likely represents a minimum functional unit of the photosynthetic oxygen evolution.     

Mechanism of photosynthetic water oxidation in the dimeric oxygen-evolving complex of chloroplast photosystem II

Based on the analysis of the molecular organization and properties of an isolated oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II of plant chloroplasts, a mechanism of water oxidation and oxygen release during photosynthesis was proposed. It is suggested that the photolysis of water occurs in a dimeric oxygen-evolving complex consisting of two core complexes. In the region of contact of these complexes, a hydrophobic "boiler" is formed where the conditions for screening and stabilization of Z-linanded manganese cations accumulating positive charges for the oxidation of water molecules are created. A prerequisite to the photolysis of water is the formation of a binuclear [Mn(3+)-OH ... HO-Mn3+] hydroxyl-manganese associate, which appears in the dimeric oxygen-evolving complex after the first two light flashes as a result of photohydrolysis of photochemically oxidized Z-liganded manganese cations. The process is accompanied by the release of the first water protons to the medium. The photosynthetic oxidation of water hydroxyls occurs at the next stage and is considered as synchronous detachment of four electrons from two bound OH-groups of the associate upon photooxidation of Mn3+ cations to Mn4+ cations after two subsequent light flashes. This process is accompanied by the disproportionation of electron density and the formation of a bond between oxygen atoms of hydroxyls followed by the evolution of molecular oxygen and protons, and regeneration of two starting Mn2+ cations and the primary state of the system.     

Effects of the lack of phosphatidylglycerol on the donor side of photosystem II

Our previous studies with the pgsA mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 (hereafter termed pgsA mutant), which is defective for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylglycerol (PG), revealed an important role for PG in the electron acceptor side of photosystem II (PSII), especially in the electron transport between plastoquinones Q(A) and Q(B). This study now shows that PG also plays an important role in the electron donor side of PSII, namely, the oxygen-evolving system. Analyses of purified PSII complexes indicated that PSII from PG-depleted pgsA mutant cells sustained only approximately 50% of the oxygen-evolving activity compared to wild-type cells. Dissociation of the extrinsic proteins PsbO, PsbV, and PsbU, which are required for stabilization of the manganese (Mn) cluster, followed by the release of a Mn atom, was observed in PSII of the PG-depleted mutant cells. The released PsbO rebound to PSII when PG was added back to the PG-depleted mutant cells, even when de novo protein synthesis was inhibited. Changes in photosynthetic activity of the PG-depleted pgsA mutant cells induced by heat treatment or dark incubation resembled those of DeltapsbO, DeltapsbV, and DeltapsbU mutant cells. These results suggest that PG plays an important role in binding extrinsic proteins required for sustaining a functional Mn cluster on the donor side of PSII.     

阳离子及ATP对绿豆线粒体膨胀与收缩的影响

本文报道了一价阳离子 K~+、Na~+及两价阳离子 Mg~(++)、Ca~(++)以及 ATP 对绿豆线粒体膨胀和收缩的影响。K~+、Na~+在低渗条件下引起线粒体瞬时的迅速膨胀。在同样离子强度下K~+引起的膨胀大于 Na~+。ATP 和 Mg~(++)能诱发低渗条件下膨胀线粒体的收缩,但对等渗和高渗 KCl 或 Nacl 溶液中膨胀的线粒体无明显作用。生理浓度的 Mg~(++)、Ca~(++)在低渗条件下引起线粒体缓慢的但幅度较大的膨胀,5mmol/l ATP 引起这种膨胀线粒体的部分收缩。1mmol/lca~(++)在含0.125mmol/l KCl 或在含0.25mol/l甘露醇的等渗介质中几乎不引起膨胀,而ATP 促进大幅度膨胀,10mmol/l MgCl_2引起这种膨胀线粒体的部分收缩。2mmol/l MgCl_2在含有0.25mol/l 甘露醇的等渗介质中引起明显膨胀,ATP 促进这种膨胀。0.125mol/lKCl+2mmol/l MgCl_2为肌动蛋白从单体聚合成多聚体所必须的条件。在此条件下,线粒体几乎不膨胀,而加入 ATP 后则促进大幅度膨胀。在电子显微镜下观察了等渗及低渗条件下线粒体形态变化。     

Impact of replacement of D1 C-terminal alanine with glycine on structure and function of photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex

The C-terminal alanine 344 (Ala-344) in the D1 protein of photosystem II is conserved in all of the organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis. A free alpha-COO(-) of Ala-344 has been proposed to be responsible for ligating the Mn cluster. Here, we constructed a mutant having D1 in which D1-Ala-344 was replaced with glycine (Gly) in cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The effects of this minimal change in the side group from methyl to hydrogen on the properties of the oxygen-evolving complex were comprehensively investigated using purified core particles. The mutant grew photoautotrophically, and little change was observed in the protein composition of the oxygen-evolving core particles. The Gly-substituted oxygen-evolving complex showed small but normal S(2) multiline and enhanced g = 4.1 electron spin resonance signals and S(2)-state thermoluminescence bands with slightly elevated peak temperature. The Gly substitution resulted in distinct but relatively small changes in a few bands arising from the putative carboxylate ligand for the Mn cluster in the mid-frequency (1800-1000 cm(-1)) S(2)/S(1) Fourier transform infrared difference spectrum. In contrast, the low frequency (670-350 cm(-1)) S(2)/S(1) Fourier transform infrared difference spectrum was markedly changed by the substitution. The results indicate that the internal structure of the Mn cluster and/or the interaction between the Mn cluster and its ligand are considerably altered by a simple change in the side group, from methyl to hydrogen, at the C-terminal of the D1 protein.
