利用CHAPS分离豌豆叶绿体偶联因子复合物

近年来不少工作者对叶绿体偶联因子复合物的结构、功能和发生的问题颇为关注(程秋琛等 1986,Merchant等 1985,Nelson 1982,Pick等1979,Strontman等1983,Suss等 1983)。分离生物膜蛋白质的     

NaCl及KCl对叶绿体膜上偶联因子腺三磷酶活力的调节

在不外加Mg~(2 )的条件下,激活液中加入30 mMNaCl或15 mM KCl,能促进叶绿体膜上偶联因子的腺三磷酶活力。其促进程度与叶绿素浓度、反应底物ATP浓度及DTT的存在有关。但此促进现象可被加入低浓度的EDTA所消除,NaCl及KCl可将叶绿体内含有的内源或结合态的Mg~(2 )释放出来,有活化腺三磷酶的作用。     

叶绿体腺三磷酶中色氨酸残基的修饰与性质的研究

利用Ｎ－溴代琥珀酰亚胺化学修饰叶绿体腺三磷酶,测得该该酶含３．５个色氨酸残基,其中２个色氨酸残基与酶活性有关。光氧化腺三磷酶伴随吸氧量增加,酶活性逐渐降低,经ＮＢＳ修饰或光氧化的腺三磷酶,其免疫抗原减弱。表明腺三磷酶中色氨酸基参与酶的活性和抗原性。     

豌豆叶绿化期间胞质体的光合偶联因子复合物

叶肉组织在光照绿化期间,有关光合能量转换系统的结构形成和功能发生之间的关系早已为人注意。七十年代末,提出叶绿体偶联因子复合物概念后,这种复合物的分离纯化和亚单位结构功能的研究甚为活跃,但在叶肉组织绿化过程中,这种复合物的亚单位和功能发生之间的情况,尚未见有人报告。我们利用控制光照时间培育了绿苗、黄化绿苗和黄化苗,制备出各自的胞质体,从中分离和部分纯化出它们的偶联因子复合物,比较了它们的异同。一、豌豆叶绿体和黄化叶绿体的光合磷酸化和交换反应活性比较豌豆种籽萌芽后经人工光照(每日光照16小时,黑暗8小时)两天后,进行黑暗处理六天,从这种黄化绿苗提出黄化叶绿体,对照则是正常绿苗所制备的叶绿体。两种胞质体的光     

不同大麦和小麦品种对铝胁迫土壤中难溶性磷的利用

耐铝大麦品种比铝敏感大麦品种对难溶性土壤磷的利用能力强,两品种混种后,后者的利用能力增加。小麦品种中,以 908利用能力最高,扬麦4号最弱,此种对铝的适应与溶液pH的变化无关。随着溶液中铝浓度增加,所有品种对磷的吸收率都下降,根中的磷高于茎叶,大麦高于小麦。     

阿苯哒唑对蚯蚓（Eisenia fetida）酸性磷酸酶、谷胱甘肽硫转移酶及腺三磷酶活性的影响

研究了蚯蚓在染毒2,7d和14d时,兽药阿苯哒唑(100～600mg/kg)对蚯蚓体及其不同部位的酸性磷酸酶(AP)、谷胱甘肽硫转移酶(GST)、腺三磷酶(Ca2 -ATPase)活性的影响。结果表明,阿苯哒唑对蚯蚓3种酶的活性均有显著影响,其中对AP和GST活性的影响比对Ca2 -ATPase的大。该药对AP和GST活性的抑制作用均随染毒时间的延长而加强,染毒浓度和时间表现出显著的互作效应。另外,AP活性也显著受到染毒浓度与蚯蚓部位的互作影响,影响最大的部位是蚯蚓前部;该药对Ca2 -ATPase活性的影响相对较小,浓度、时间和部位没有表现出明显的互作效应。

三苯基锡,二环己基碳二亚胺和寡霉素对叶绿体CF0与CF1功能联系的影响

作用于H~ —ATP酶复合体质子通道的能量传递抑制剂 TPT、DQCD和 OM能明显抑制叶绿体光合磷酸化反应和膜上 ATP酶活性,减小恒态ΛpH值,加速ΛpH和515 nm吸收衰减。这种在正常叶绿体加速H_(in)~ 经CF_0外流与在残缺膜中阻塞质子外流不一致。TPT等物质是干扰了CF_0与CF_1的构象连接,使 CF_0的质子传导失去CF_1的控制,H_(in)~ 无效漏失或质子逆向转移受影响,从而抑制与质子传导紧密相关的光合磷酸化反应和膜上ATP酶活性。

Fluidity properties of isolated chloroplast thylakoid lipids

Chloroplast thylakoid lipids have been isolated free of photosynthetic pigments using a combination of high performance liquid and thin layer chromatography. The hydrophobic fluorescent probe, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) has been incorporated into aqueous dispersions of the isolated lipids in order to investigate dynamic and structural properties of the resulting bilayer membranes. Time dependent fluorescence anisotropy decays have been measured and analysed assuming the wobbling-in-cone model (Kinosita et al., Biophys J 20 (1977) 289–305). The DPH fluorescence lifetimes and the static and dynamic fluorescence anisotropy decay parameters for the probe in a total lipid mixture or in pure digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), changed in a predictable way with increasing temperature (10°–36°C). For a given temperature, it was found that the total lipid mixture was in general less ordered and showed greater dynamic motion as judged from DPH fluorescence anisotropy and compared with the pure DGDG system, although at 36°C differences in dynamic parameters were less evident. Overall the results obtained emphasize the highly fluid nature of thylakoid membrane lipids and give a basis for investigating how intrinsic proteins modify structural and dynamic properties of the in vivo membrane.     

6-苄氨基嘌呤对叶绿体偶联因子功能的影响

可溶性偶联因子经6-BA修饰后,明显促进Mg~(2 )-ATPase活力。从6-BA处理的叶绿体上洗脱下来的偶联因子,其Mg~(2 )-及Ca~(2 )-ATP酶活力都比对照有明显的增加。从~3H-6BA处理叶绿体上洗脱下来的偶联因子等蛋白,经聚丙烯酰胺电泳分析,~3H-6BA除与偶联因子结合外,还与RuBP羧化酶及其他蛋白结合。用6-BA处理提纯的β亚单位,能明显促进其Mg~(2 )-ATPase活力,表明6-BA至少有一个结合位点是在CF_1的β亚单位上并可影响其能量转换反应。     

菠菜叶绿体CF1-ATP合酶的分离纯化及其结构的原子力显微镜研究

Inhibition studies on acetyl group incorporation into chloroplast fatty acids

Abstract. Whilst L-acetylcarnitine acted as a substrate for fatty acid synthesis by isolated pea leaf chloroplasts, D-acetylcarnitine did not. This result, together with those obtained using the inhibitors D-carnitine and deoxycarnitine, indicated that L-acetylcarnitine was not being hydrolysed to free acetate prior to incorporation into chloroplast fatty acids. Seventy-five per cent and 66% inhibitions of L-acetylcarnitine incorporation into fatty acids, brought about by adding equimolar quantities of D-carnitine and deoxycarnitine, respectively, were suggestive of competitive inhibition at two points: an integral membrane translocator in the chloroplast envelope: and the carnitine acetyltransferase enzyme of the chloroplast stroma, which converts L-acetylcarnitine to acetyl CoA. Isotope competition experiments between acetate and L-acetylcarnitine confirmed that L-acetylcarnitine was the preferred substrate for pea chloroplast fatty acid synthesis.     

The Changes of H+-ATPase During the Mitochondrial Development of Pea Cotyledon

Electron microscopic observation indicated that the mitochondrial membrane of pea cotyledon gradually developed into integral structure during seeds imbibition. ATP-synthesizing activity of H+-ATPase increased in company with mitochondrial development, but the content of F1-ATPase subunits was not different on the mitochondria of cotyledon imbibed for 6 hours and for 24 hours in water. After cotyledon was imbibed at low temperature, the content of γ and β subunits of F1-ATPase was distinctly reduced with the inhibition of H+-ATPase activity.     

Tight nucleotide binding sites and ATPase activities of theRhodospirillum rubrum RrF1-ATPase as compared to spinach chloroplast CF1-ATPase

SolubilizedRhodospirillum rubrum RrF₁-ATPase, depleted of loosely bound nucleotides, retains 2.6 mol of tightly bound ATP and ADP/mol of enzyme. Incubation of the depleted RrF₁ with Mg²⁺-ATP or Mg²⁺-AMP-PNP, followed by passage through two successive Sephadex centrifuge columns, results in retention of a maximal number of 4 mol of tightly bound nucleotides/mol of RrF₁. They include 1.5 mol of nonexchangeable ATP, whereas all tightly bound ADP is fully exchangeable. A similar retention of only four out of the six nucleotide binding sites present on CF₁ has been observed after its passage through one or two centrifuge columns. These results indicate that the photosynthetic, unlike the respiratory, F₁-ATPases have fasterk _off constants for two of the Mg-dependent nucleotide binding sites. This could be the reason for the tenfold lower Mg²⁺ than Ca²⁺-ATPase activity observed with native RrF₁, as with -depleted, activated CF₁. An almost complete conversion of both RrF₁ and CF₁ from Ca²⁺- to Mg²⁺-dependent ATPases is obtained upon addition of octylglucoside, at concentrations below its CMC, to the ATPase assay medium. Thus, octylglucoside seems to affect directly the RrF₁ and CF₁ divalent cation binding site(s), in addition to its proposed role in relieving their inhibition by free Mg²⁺ ions. The RrF₁-ATPase activity is 30-fold more sensitive than CF₁ to efrapeptin, and completely resistant to either inhibition or stimulation by the CF₁ effector, tentoxin. Octylglucoside decreases the inhibition by efrapeptin and tentoxin, but exposes on CF₁ a low-affinity, stimulatory site for tentoxin.Abbreviations: CF₁, EcF₁, MF₁, and TF₁, the soluble F₁-ATPase from chloroplasts, PE. coli, mitochondria,R. rubrum, and the thermophilic bacterium PS3, respectively: AMP-PNP, adenylyl-, -imidodiphosphate; CMC, critical micellar concentration; DTT, dithiothreitol, LDAO, lauryl dimethylamine oxide.Dedicated to Professor Achim Trebst in honor of this 65th birthday.
