Barley, maize, pea, soybean, and wheat exhibited differences in chlorophyll a/b ratio and chlorophyll-protein (CP) complex composition during the initial stages of chloroplast development. During the first hours of greening, the chlorophyll a/b ratios of barley, pea, and wheat were high (a/b8) and these species contained only the CP complex of photosystem I as measured by mild sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A decrease in chlorophyll a/b ratio and the observation of the CP complexes associated with photosystem II and the light-harvesting apparatus occurred at later times in barley, pea, and wheat. In contrast, maize and soybean exhibited low chlorophyll a/b ratios (a/b<8) and contained the CP complexes of both photosytem I and the light-harvesting apparatus at early times during chloroplast development. The species differences were not apparent after 8 h of greening. In all species, the CP complexes were stabilized during the later stages of chloroplast development as indicated by a decrease in the percentage of chlorophyll released from the CP complexes during detergent extraction. The results demonstrate that CP complex synthesis and accumulation during chloroplast development may not be regulated in the same way in all higher plant species.Abbreviations Chl

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

In-vitro thylakoid protein phosphorylation has been studied in synchronized cells of Scenedesmus obliquus at the 8- and 16-h of the life cycle, stages which are characterized by the maximum and minimum photosynthetic activities, respectively. The stage of maximum photosynthetic activity (8-h) is characterized by the highest protein phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, by the largest proportion of the heavy subfraction of thylakoids, and by maximum oligomerization of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex, altogether creating the highest energy charge of the thylakoid membranes. Protein phosphorylation in vitro decreases the amount of the heavy subfraction and increases the amount of oligomerization of the antenna of photosystem I (PSI) (increase of chlorophyll b in the light fraction). Concomittantly, PSII units become smaller (longer time for the rise in fluorescence induction) and photosynthetic efficiency increases (decrease of fluorescence yield). In-vivo protein phosphorylation is controlled mainly endogenously during the 8-h of the life cycle but is exogenously modulated by light to optimize the photosynthetic activity by redistribution of pigment-protein complexes. In-vitro protein phosphorylation seems to restore partially the conditions prevalent in vivo and lost during the preparation of membranes. The effect is greater in 16-h cells which have less-stable membranes. The regulatory mechanism between membrane stabilization and oligomerization on the one hand and redistribution of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex from PSII to PSI on the other hand remains unexplained. We have confirmed that the mechanism of protein phosphorylation is regulated via plastohydroquinone, but experiments with the plastohydroquinone analogue 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone demonstrated that plastohydroquinone is not solely responsible for the differences in protein phosphorylation of 8- and 16-h thylakoids. The inhibitory effect of ADP and the distinct rates of kinase reaction indicate that the adenylate energy charge and changes in the organization of the photosynthetic apparatus also contribute to the observed differences in protein phosphorylation. Phosphorylation in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea indicated that the 32-kDa phosphoprotein and the herbicide-binding QB protein may be the same. These experiments also indicated that 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea-binding reduces kinase activity directly and not only by inhibiting electron transport.Abbreviations DCMU

State 1/State 2 changes in higher plants and algae 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Current ideas regarding the molecular basis of State 1/State 2 transitions in higher plants and green algae are mainly centered around the view that excitation energy distribution is controlled by phosphorylation of the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHC-II). The evidence supporting this view is examined and the relationship of the transitions occurring in these systems to the corresponding transitions seen in red and blue-green algae is explored.Abbreviations CCCP

Nitrogen deficiency affects both photosystems and the antennae pigment systems in the photosynthetic apparatus of the marine alga, Cryptomonas maculata. Under increasing energy fluence rates, O2 evolution in nitrogen-deficient (-N) cell suspensions never reached a positive value; in control cultures (+N), O2 evolution increased and was saturated at about 6.4 W·m-2 with about 100 mol O2·mg chlorophyll-1·h-1. During fluorescence-induction experiments at room temperature, Fo and Fmax were significantly increased in-N cells whereas the Fvar/Fmax ratio decreased from 0.6 to 0.1. These observations can be correlated with a significantly decreased population of 12.5-nm-size particles in the exoplasmic-fracture (EF) faces of freeze-cleaved thylakoid membranes in-N cells (Rhiel et al., 1985, Protoplasma 129, 62–73). The EF particles are suggested to represent photosystem II associated with chlorophyll a/c-protein complexes (LHCP). The banding pattern of isolated and Triton X-100-solubilized thylakoid membranes of both +N and-N cells in sucrose gradients showed that the LHCP is still present in-N cells. The same applies to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of these membrane fractions. The reduced number of the 12.5-nm particles in the EF faces of-N cells may be a result of decoupling of the LHCP constituents of the photosystem-II complex rather than their degradation. This is supported by high values for the initial fluorescence Fo in fluorescence-induction experiments and, in part, is indicated by the shift of the maximal fluorescence emission from 693 nm in +N to 684 nm in-N cells. The lack of the CP1 band in the gels of sodium dodecyl sulfate-solubilized thylakoid membranes from-N cells after electrophoresis demonstrates that photosystem I is also severely affected.Abbreviations Chl

The phosphorylation of thylakoid proteins, which comprise apoproteins of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex (LHCP), was investigated in vivo and in vitro during the development of Scenedesmus obliquus in synchronous cultures. The in-vitro and in-vivo protein phosphorylation exhibited a maximum activity in cells with maximum photosynthetic capacity (8th hour) and miximum activity in cells with minimum photosynthetic capacity (16th hour). The major phosphorylated polypeptides in vivo were the 24/25-kDa and 28–30-kDa apoprotein of the LHCP, a protein of about 32 kDa, and some smaller polypeptides within the range 10 to 20 kDa. In vitro, the main phosphoproteins were the 28–30-kDa apoprotein and the protein characterized by an apparent molecular weight of 32 kDa. Pulse-chase experiments in vivo established that the latter had the fastest radioactivity turnover of the thylakoidal phosphoproteins.Abbreviations DCMU

Steady-state mRNA levels for thylakoid proteins were analysed in spinach cotyledons under diurnally changing light conditions. Most fluctuate considerably throughout the day, while the levels of others show only low amplitude or no oscillation. Levels of mRNAs coding for proteins that belong to the same multiprotein complex generally oscillate in parallel and exhibit maxima that are specific for that complex: mRNAs for photosystem I proteins appear prior to those for photosystem II polypeptides and these again prior to mRNAs for the three polypeptides constituting the oxygen-evolving complex. For the mRNAs that change with high amplitudes (e.g. those for LHCP or the 20 kDa apoprotein of the CP24 complex) oscillations have also been found under constant conditions, indicating that a circadian oscillator is involved. Transgenic tobacco seedlings harbouring chimeric GUS gene fusions with 5-flanking sequences from the spinach genes Lhcb, PsaF and AtpD (encoding a light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b apoprotein of photosystem II, subunit 3 of photosystem I and subunit of the plastid ATP synthase, respectively) confirm that the differences in the amplitudes as well as the timepoints of maximum mRNA accumulation are perceived via cis-regulatory elements upstream of the respective ATG codons. 相似文献

Photosystem II (PS II) reactions of chloroplast particles show the same variations during the synchronous life cycle of Scenedesmus obliquus, strain D3 (Gaffron Biol. Zbl. 59, 302 1939), as the whole cells they derived from. Photosystem I (PS I) reactions of whole cells and of subchloroplast particles show little or no variation in their activity, whereas PS I reactions of chloroplast particles vary like PS II reactions during the life cycle. The variation in chloroplast particles could be attributed to the change in the reoxidation capacity of plastoquinone still attached to PS I. Digitonin-treatment of chloroplast particles from Scenedesmus and subsequent sucrose density gradient separation yielded 3 distinct fractions: Fraction I contained pure PS I particles with the most efficient PS I-mediated methylviologen (MV) reduction with subsequent oxygen uptake (3 mmol O2/mg Chl·h); no Hill reaction; and a high chlorophyll a/b ratio, and a vast amount of unbound protein xanthophyll complexes. Fraction II is enriched in PS II particles, with little PS I activity (less than 10% of the PS I particles) and a low chlorophyll a/b ratio. The activity of the water-splitting system was completely lost. This fraction must also contain most of the light-harvesting pigment system. Fraction III is also enriched in PS II with even less PS I activity, but the ratio of chlorophyll a/b is slightly higher than in whole cells and the water-splitting system is intact. -carotene was part of all fractions whereas functional xanthophylls seemed to be restricted to the PS II particles. From the constant chlorophyll P/700 ratio we had to conclude that size of the photosynthetic unit does not change during the life cycle of a synchronized Scenedesmus obliquus culture.Abbreviations DBMIB

The ATP-induced quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence in chloroplasts of higher plants is shown to be inhibited when the mobility of the protein complexes into the thylakoid membranes is reduced. Its occurrence also requires the presence of LHC complexes and the ability of the membranes to unstack.These observations, in addition to a slight increase of charge density of the surface-as indicated by 9-aminoacridine fluorescence and high salt-induced chlorophyll fluorescence studies-and partial unstacking of the membranes-as monitored by digitonin method and 540 nm light scattering changes-after phosphorylation, suggest that the ATP-induced quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence could reflect some lateral redistribution of membrane proteins in the lipid matrix of the thylakoids.Abbreviations ATP

The precursor to the nuclear-coded 17 kDa early light-inducible protein (ELIP) of pea has been transported into isolated intact chloroplasts. The location of the mature protein in the thylakoid membranes was investigated after using cleavable crosslinkers such as DSP and SAND in conjunction with immuno-fractionation methods and by application of mild detergent fractionation. We show that ELIP is integrated into the membranes via the unstacked stroma thylakoids. After isolation of protein complexes by solubilization of membranes with Triton X-100 and sucrose density-gradient centrifugation the crosslinked ELIP comigrates with the PS II core complex. Using SAND we identified ELIP as a 41–51 kDa crosslinked product while with DSP four products of 80 kDa, 70 kDa, 50–42 kDa and 23–21 kDa were found. The immunoprecipitation data suggested that the D1-protein of the PS II complex is one of the ELIP partners in crosslinked products.Abbreviations chl

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2)-induced effects on the membrane organization, fluidity properties and surface charge density of pea chloroplasts were investigated. It was observed that lipolytic treatment with PLA2 altered the chloroplast structure having as a result a swelling of thylakoids and a total destruction of normal granal structure. In spite of this, the thylakoid membranes remained in close contact. At the same time, a slight decrease of surface charge density was registered, thus explaining the adhesion of swelled membranes. Fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) was measured during PLA2 treatment. A pronounced decrease of DPH fluorescence polarization was found, indicating that phospholipase treatment resulted in considerable disordering and/or fluidization of the thylakoid membranes. The increased fluidity could be attributed to the destabilizing effect of the products of enzymatic hydrolysis of the phospholipids (free fatty acids, lysophospholipids) on the bilayer structure of thylakoids membranes.Abbreviations 9-AA

Under conditions of iron-stress, the Photosystem II associated chlorophyll a protein complex designated CP 43, which is encoded by the isiA gene, becomes the major pigment-protein complex in Synechococcus sp. 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

Low temperature sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis following mild solubilization of Euglena thylakoid components allowed to resolve, in addition to the main CP1, CPa and LHCP chlorophyll-protein complexes, the additional CP1a and LHCP green bands. A carotenoid enriched band CPc can be separated from CPa using high acrylamide concentration. Pigment and polypeptide composition of these complexes were analyzed by absorption and fluorescence measurements and two dimensional gel electrophoresis. Spectral properties of CP1 and CP1a indicate an heterogenous organization of chlorophyll and the presence of significant amount of chlorophyll b in these complexes. They both contain a major 68 kilodalton polypeptide associated with three minor low molecular weight polypeptides in CP1a. CPa and CPc exhibit a characteristic fluorescence emission at 687 nm and they each contain one polypeptide of 54 and 41 Kda respectively. LHCP and LHCP are less abundant than in higher plant thylakoids and they contain a lower proportion of chl b (chl a: chl b=3). They include two polypeptides of 26 and 29 Kda.Abbreviations chl

Bean chloroplasts treated with galactolipase (lipolytic acyl hydrolase) isolated from bean leaves showed an inhibition of photosystem I activity as measured by methyl viologen-mediated oxygen uptake and NADP+ photoreduction. This inhibition was partially reversed by exogenous plastocyanin added to galactolipase-treated thylakoid membranes. Galactolipase released substantial amounts of endogenous plastocyanin (about 40%) from bean chloroplasts. The results are discussed with regard to the localization of plastocyanin in thylakoid membranes.Abbreviations chlf

Measurements of electron transport activity point to the occurrence of major changes in the organisation of the photosynthetic apparatus of heat-stressed chloroplasts. One of the consequences of these changes is shown to be a greatly increased susceptibility of chlorophyll to photobleaching. Despite the fact that the threshold temperature for this photobleaching coincides closely with that for the inhibition of PSII activity, the bleached components were found to be specifically associated with PSI. This increased susceptibility of PSI pigments to photobleaching is shown to be a direct consequence of an interruption of the flow of reductants from PSII to PSI that would normally protect PSI from photooxidation.Abbreviations PSI

A carotenoid requirement for photosystem I activity in spinach chloroplasts using extraction-reconstitution technique has been investigated. The transfer of electron from N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-p-phenylene diamine through the chloroplast photosystem to methyl viologen dye or to NADP+ was used as an assay of photosystem I activity. Extraction of lyophilized spinach chloroplasts with heptane at near 0°C removed almost all -carotene and reduced photochemical activities associated with photosystem I to a low level (about 15% of the original activity). Reconstitution of the extracted chloroplasts with -carotene completely restored photosystem I activity. The maximum rate of methyl viologen photoreduction in reconstituted chloroplasts occurred at an -carotene/chlorophyll molar ratio of 0.5. Cyclic phosphorylation mediated by phenazine methosulphate was partially restored. Xanthophylls (lutein, neoxanthin, violaxanthin), as components of chloroplast membranes, were not able to replace -carotene in reconstitution of chloroplasts and had essentially no effect on restoring photoreactions. On the basis of the P700/total chlorophyll ratio it can be assumed that extraction of lyophilized chloroplasts with heptane do not affect photosystem I reaction centre. Therefore it is possible that -carotene, removed during heptane extraction and belonging mainly to the antenna pigment pool of photosystem I, is effective in the restoration of photosystem I activity.Abbreviations chl

Chloroplast thylakoid membranes were isolated from leaves of unhardened and cold-acclimated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). For freezethaw treatment, the membranes were suspended in complex media composed to simulate the solute concentrations in the chloroplast stroma in the unhardened and hardened states of the leaves. In particular, high concentrations of amino acids were applied for simulating the hardened state. After frost treatment, photosynthetic activities and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of the thylakoids were tested to determine the degree of freezing damage. The results revealed a pattern of freezing injury similar to that observed upon frost treatment of thylakoids in situ. A major manifestation of damage was the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport. Uncoupling of photophosphorylation, which is the dominating effect of freezing of thylakoids suspended in binary solutions (e.g., containing one sugar and one inorganic salt), was also visible but less pronounced in the complex media. Thylakoids obtained from cold-acclimated leaves did not exhibit an increased frost tolerance in vitro, as compared with thylakoids from unhardened plants. The results, furthermore, indicated a strong protective effect of free amino acids at the concentrations and composition found in chloroplasts of hardened leaves. The presence of inorganic salts in the complex media slightly stabilized rather than damaged the membranes during freezing. It is concluded that inactivation of thylakoids in situ may be understood as the destabilizing action of the combined solutes surrounding the thylakoids, occurring when solute concentration is raised due to freezing of water.Abbreviations Chl
