Aquatic photosynthetic organisms live in quite variable conditions of CO(2) availability. To survive in limiting CO(2) conditions, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and other microalgae show adaptive changes, such as induction of a CO(2)-concentrating mechanism, changes in cell organization, increased photorespiratory enzyme activity, induction of periplasmic carbonic anhydrase and specific polypeptides (mitochondrial carbonic anhydrases and putative chloroplast carrier proteins), and transient down-regulation in the synthesis of Rubisco. The signal for acclimation to limiting CO(2) in C. reinhardtii is unidentified, and it is not known how they sense a change of CO(2) level. The limiting CO(2) signals must be transduced into the changes in gene expression observed during acclimation, so mutational analyses should be helpful for investigating the signal transduction pathway for low CO(2) acclimation. Eight independently isolated mutants of C. reinhardtii that require high CO(2) for photoautotrophic growth were tested by complementation group analysis. These mutants are likely to be defective in some aspects of the acclimation to low CO(2) because they differ from wild type in their growth and in the expression patterns of five low CO(2)-inducible genes (Cah1, Mca1, Mca2, Ccp1, and Ccp2). Two of the new mutants formed a single complementation group along with the previously described mutant cia-5, which appears to be defective in the signal transduction pathway for low CO(2) acclimation. The other mutations represent six additional, independent complementation groups. 相似文献

An active CO2-concentrating mechanism is induced when Chlamydomonas reinhardtii acclimates to limiting inorganic carbon (Ci), either low-CO2 (L-CO2; air level; approximately 0.04% CO2) or very low-CO2 (VL-CO2; approximately 0.01% CO2) conditions. A mutant, ad1, which is defective in the limiting-CO2-inducible, plastid-localized LCIB, can grow in high-CO2 or VL-CO2 conditions but dies in L-CO2, indicating a deficiency in a L-CO2-specific Ci uptake and accumulation system. In this study, we identified two ad1 suppressors that can grow in L-CO2 but die in VL-CO2. Molecular analyses revealed that both suppressors have mutations in the CAH3 gene, which encodes a thylakoid lumen localized carbonic anhydrase. Photosynthetic rates of L-CO2-acclimated suppressors under acclimation CO2 concentrations were more than 2-fold higher than ad1, apparently resulting from a more than 20-fold increase in the intracellular concentration of Ci as measured by direct Ci uptake. However, photosynthetic rates of VL-CO2-acclimated cells under acclimation CO2 concentrations were too low to support growth in spite of a significantly elevated intracellular Ci concentration. We conclude that LCIB functions downstream of CAH3 in the CO2-concentrating mechanism and probably plays a role in trapping CO2 released by CAH3 dehydration of accumulated Ci. Apparently dehydration by the chloroplast stromal carbonic anhydrase CAH6 of the very high internal Ci caused by the defect in CAH3 provides Rubisco sufficient CO2 to support growth in L-CO2-acclimated cells, but not in VL-CO2-acclimated cells, even in the absence of LCIB.CO2 serves both as the substrate for photosynthesis and as an important signal to regulate plant growth and development, so variable CO2 concentrations can impact photosynthesis, growth, and productivity of plants. Terrestrial C4 plants have developed a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) involving anatomical and biochemical adaptations to accumulate a higher concentration of CO2 as substrate Rubisco and to suppress oxygenation of ribulose-1,5-bisP, a wasteful side reaction. In contrast, a different type of CCM is induced in the unicellular green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii when the supply of dissolved inorganic carbon (Ci; CO2 and HCO3−) for photosynthesis is limited (Beardall and Giordano, 2002; Giordano et al., 2005; Moroney and Ynalvez, 2007; Spalding, 2008). In response to limiting CO2, the CCM uses active Ci transport, both at the plasma membrane and the chloroplast envelope, to accumulate a high concentration of HCO3− within the chloroplast (Palmqvist et al., 1988; Sültemeyer et al., 1988). The thylakoid lumen carbonic anhydrase (CAH3) plays an essential role in the rapid dehydration of the accumulated HCO3− to release CO2 into the pyrenoid, a Rubisco-containing internal compartment of the chloroplast, for assimilation by Rubisco (Price et al., 2002; Spalding et al., 2002).While a number of genes and proteins essential to the operation of the CCM in C. reinhardtii have been identified, our understanding of Ci uptake and its regulation, as well as other aspects of CCM function is limited. A better understanding of the similar CCM in prokaryotic organisms, specifically the cyanobacteria Synechocystis and Synechococcus, has been gained. At least five different types of Ci transporters have been identified in cyanobacteria, including three HCO3− transporters and two active CO2 uptake systems (Price et al., 2002, 2004).Recently, at least three distinct CO2-regulated acclimation states were identified in C. reinhardtii based on growth, photosynthesis and gene expression characteristics, a high-CO2 (H-CO2) state (5%–0.5% CO2), low-CO2 (L-CO2) state (air level; 0.4%–0.03% CO2), and very low-CO2 (VL-CO2) state (0.01%–0.005% CO2; Vance and Spalding, 2005). Two allelic HCR (H-CO2-requiring) mutants, pmp1 and ad1, grow as well (pmp1) or nearly as well (ad1) as wild-type cells in both H-CO2 and VL-CO2 conditions while only dying in L-CO2, indicating a deficient Ci transport and/or accumulation system only in the L-CO2 acclimation state (Spalding et al., 1983b, 2002). The defective gene responsible for the pmp1/ad1 phenotype was identified as LCIB, a limiting CO2-inducible gene, the product of which is predicted to be located in the chloroplast stroma and proposed to be involved with chloroplast Ci uptake in L-CO2 conditions (Wang and Spalding, 2006). The LCIB gene product is a member of a small gene family so far only found in a few microalgae species (Spalding, 2008).To investigate the roles of LCIB in eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms and identify other functional components involved in chloroplast Ci accumulation in C. reinhardtii, we used an insertional mutagenesis approach to select suppressors of the air-dier phenotype of the LCIB mutant ad1. In this study, we describe two ad1 suppressors, ad-su6 and ad-su7, that grow normally in L-CO2 but, unlike ad1, die in VL-CO2. This report also presents data suggesting that the air-dier phenotype of ad1 is suppressed by increased intracellular Ci concentrations in the two suppressors, and suggesting a possible role for LCIB as a CO2 trap rather than having any direct role in chloroplast envelope Ci transport. 相似文献

Inorganic carbon acquisition in red tide dinoflagellates 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Carbon acquisition was investigated in three marine bloom-forming dinollagellates-Prorocentrum minimum, Heterocapsa triquetra and Ceratium lineatum. In vivo activities of extracellular and intracellular carbonic anhydrase (CA), photosynthetic O2 evolution, CO2 and HCO3- uptake rates were measured by membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) in cells acclimated to low pH (8.0) and high pH (8.5 or 9.1). A second approach used short-term 14C-disequilibrium incubations to estimate the carbon source utilized by the cells. All three species showed negligible extracellular CA (eCA) activity in cells acclimated to low pH and only slightly higher activity when acclimated to high pH. Intracellular CA (iCA) activity was present in all three species, but it increased only in P. minimum with increasing pH. Half-saturation concentrations (K1/2) for photosynthetic O2 evolution were low compared to ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) kinetics. Moreover, apparent affinities for inorganic carbon (Ci) increased with increasing pH in the acclimation, indicating the operation of an efficient CO2 concentration mechanism (CCM) in these dinoflagellates. Rates of CO2 uptake were comparably low and could not support the observed rates of photosynthesis. Consequently, rates of HCO3- uptake were high in the investigated species, contributing more than 80% of the photosynthetic carbon fixation. The affinity for HCO3- and maximum uptake rates increased under higher pH. The strong preference for HCO3- was also confirmed by the 14C-disequilibrium technique. Modes of carbon acquisition were consistent with the 13C-fractionation pattern observed and indicated a strong species-specific difference in leakage. These results suggest that photosynthesis in marine dinoflagellates is not limited by Ci even at high pH, which may occur during red tides in coastal waters. 相似文献

CO(2)-insensitive mutants of the green alga Chlorella ellipsoidea were previously shown to be unable to repress an inorganic carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) when grown under 5% CO(2). When air-grown, wild-type (WT) cells were transferred to 5% CO(2), an abrupt drop of P(max) to 43% the original level of air-grown cells was observed within the initial 12 h. Photosynthetic affinities of WT cells to dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) were maintained at high levels for the initial 4 d of acclimation, and then decreased gradually to lower levels over the next 6 d. In contrast to WT cells, the CO(2)-insensitive mutant, ENU16, exhibited a constant P(max) at maximum levels and a low K(1/2)[DIC] throughout the acclimation period. The rapid P(max) drop within 12 h of acclimation in WT cells was significantly reduced by treatment with 0.5 mm of 6-ethoxybenzothiazole-2-sulphonamide (EZA), a specific membrane-permeable inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase (CA), suggesting the participation of internal CAs in the temporary drop in P(max) in WT cells. WT and ENU16 cells were grown in controlled equilibrium [CO(2)], and the photosynthetic rate of each acclimated cell type was measured under equilibrated growth [DIC] conditions. In WT cells acclimated to 0.14-0.4% [CO(2)], K(1/2)[DIC] values increased as [CO(2)] increased, and the photosynthetic rates at growth DIC conditions were shown to decrease to about 70% the P(max) level in this intermediate [CO(2)] range. Such decreases in the net photosynthetic rates were not observed in ENU16. These results suggest that algal primary production could be depressed significantly under moderately enriched CO(2) conditions as a result of acquiring intermediate affinities for DIC because of their sensitive responses to changes in the ambient [CO(2)]. 相似文献

Photoinhibition of photosynthesis and subsequent recovery were studied in cultures of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii L. (wt strain 137 c mating type +) acclimated at high (27°C) and low (12°C) temperature, Photoinhibition was assayed by fluorescence kinetics (77K) and oxygen evolution measurements under growth temperature conditions Inhibition of 50% was obtained by exposing cultures acclimated at high temperature to a photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) of 1 600 μmol m−2 S−1 at. 27°C. and cultures acclimated at low temperature to a PPFD of 900 μmol m−2 s−1 at 12°C When the photoinhibitory conditions were shifted it was revealed that algae acclimated at low temperature had acquired an increased resistance to photoinhibition at both 12 and 27°C. Furthermore, acclimation at low temperature increased the capacity to recover from 50% photoinhibition at both 12 and 27°C Studies of photoinhibition in the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor, chloramphenicol, revealed that in response to acclimation at low temperature during growth the algae became more dependent on protein synthesis to avoid photoinhibition. It is suggested that acclimation at low temperature rendered C. reinhardtii an increased resistance to photoinhibition by. increasing the rate of turnover of photodamaged proteins in photosystem II (PS II). However, we cannot exclude the possibility that the increased resistance to photoinhibition of C. reinhardtii acclimated at low temperature also involves modifications of the mechanism of photoinhibition. 相似文献

We studied the interactions of the CO(2)-concentrating mechanism and variable light in the filamentous cyanobacterium Leptolyngbya sp. CPCC 696 acclimated to low light (15 μmol m(-2) s(-1) PPFD) and low inorganic carbon (50 μM Ci). Mass spectrometric and polarographic analysis revealed that mediated CO(2) uptake along with both active Na(+)-independent and Na(+)-dependent HCO(3)(-) transport, likely through Na(+)/HCO(3)(-) symport, were employed to concentrate Ci internally. Combined transport of CO(2) and HCO(3)(-) required about 30 kJ mol(-1) of energy from photosynthetic electron transport to support an intracellular Ci accumulation 550-fold greater than the external Ci. Initially, Leptolyngbya rapidly induced oxygen evolution and Ci transport to reach 40-50% of maximum values by 50 μmol m(-2) s(-1) PPFD. Thereafter, photosynthesis and Ci transport increased gradually to saturation around 1,800 μmol m(-2) s(-1) PPFD. Leptolyngbya showed a low intrinsic susceptibility to photoinhibition of oxygen evolution up to PPFD of 3,000 μmol m(-2) s(-1). Intracellular Ci accumulation showed a lag under low light but then peaked at about 500 μmol photons m(-2) s(-1) and remained high thereafter. Ci influx was accompanied by a simultaneous, light-dependent, outward flux of CO(2) and by internal CO(2)/HCO(3)(-) cycling. The high-affinity and high-capacity CCM of Leptolyngbya responded dynamically to fluctuating PPFD and used excitation energy in excess of the needs of CO(2) fixation by increasing Ci transport, accumulation and Ci cycling. This capacity may allow Leptolyngbya to tolerate periodic exposure to excess high light by consuming electron equivalents and keeping PSII open. 相似文献

Microalgal carbon-dioxide-concentrating mechanisms: Chlamydomonas inorganic carbon transporters 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Spalding MH 《Journal of experimental botany》2008,59(7):1463-1473
Aquatic photosynthetic micro-organisms have adapted to the variable and often-limiting availability of CO(2), and inorganic carbon (Ci) in general, by development of inducible CO(2)-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) that allow them to optimize carbon acquisition. Both microalgal and cyanobacterial CCMs function to facilitate CO(2) assimilation when Ci is limiting via active Ci uptake systems to increase internal Ci accumulation and carbonic anhydrase activity to provide elevated internal CO(2) concentrations through the dehydration of accumulated bicarbonate. These CCMs have been studied over several decades, and details of the cyanobacterial CCM function have emerged over recent years. However, significant advances in understanding of the microalgal CCM have been more recent. With the aid of mutational approaches and the availability of multiple microalgal genome sequences, an integrated picture of the functional components of the microalgal CCMs is emerging, together with the molecular details regarding the function and regulation of the CCM. This review will focus on the recent advances in identifying and characterizing the Ci transport components of the microalgal CCM, especially in the model organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard. 相似文献

We report on the changes the photosynthetic apparatus of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii undergoes upon acclimation to different light intensity. When grown in high light, cells had a faster growth rate and higher biomass production compared with low and control light conditions. However, cells acclimated to low light intensity are indeed able to produce more biomass per photon available as compared with high light-acclimated cells, which dissipate as heat a large part of light absorbed, thus reducing their photosynthetic efficiency. This dissipative state is strictly dependent on the accumulation of LhcSR3, a protein related to light-harvesting complexes, responsible for nonphotochemical quenching in microalgae. Other changes induced in the composition of the photosynthetic apparatus upon high light acclimation consist of an increase of carotenoid content on a chlorophyll basis, particularly zeaxanthin, and a major down-regulation of light absorption capacity by decreasing the chlorophyll content per cell. Surprisingly, the antenna size of both photosystem I and II is not modulated by acclimation; rather, the regulation affects the PSI/PSII ratio. Major effects of the acclimation to low light consist of increased activity of state 1 and 2 transitions and increased contributions of cyclic electron flow. 相似文献

The environmental plasticity and ecological genomics of the cyanobacterial CO2 concentrating mechanism 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Cyanobacteria probably exhibit the widest range of diversity in growth habitats of all photosynthetic organisms. They are found in cold and hot, alkaline and acidic, marine, freshwater, saline, terrestrial, and symbiotic environments. In addition to this, they originated on earth at least 2.5 billion years ago and have evolved through periods of dramatic O2 increases, CO2 declines, and temperature changes. One of the key problems they have faced through evolution and in their current environments is the capture of CO2 and its efficient use by Rubisco in photosynthesis. A central response to this challenge has been the development of a CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM) that can be adapted to various environmental limitations. There are two primary functional elements of this CCM. Firstly, the containment of Rubisco in carboxysome protein microbodies within the cell (the sites of CO2) elevation), and, secondly, the presence of several inorganic carbon (Ci) transporters that deliver HCO3- intracellularly. Cyanobacteria show both species adaptation and acclimation of this mechanism. Between species, there are differences in the suites of Ci transporters in each genome, the nature of the carboxysome structures and the functional roles of carbonic anhydrases. Within a species, different CCM activities can be induced depending on the Ci availability in the environment. This acclimation is largely based on the induction of multiple Ci transporters with different affinities and specificities for either CO2 or HCO3- as substrates. These features are discussed in relation to our current knowledge of the genomic sequences of a diverse array of cyanobacteria and their ecological environments. 相似文献

Most microalgae overcome the difficulty of acquiring inorganic carbon (Ci) in aquatic environments by inducing a CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM). In the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, two distinct photosynthetic acclimation states have been described under CO2-limiting conditions (low-CO2 [LC] and very low-CO2 [VLC]). LC-inducible protein B (LCIB), structurally characterized as carbonic anhydrase, localizes in the chloroplast stroma under CO2-supplied and LC conditions. In VLC conditions, it migrates to aggregate around the pyrenoid, where the CO2-fixing enzyme ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase is enriched. Although the physiological importance of LCIB localization changes in the chloroplast has been shown, factors necessary for the localization changes remain uncertain. Here, we examined the effect of pH, light availability, photosynthetic electron flow, and protein synthesis on the localization changes, along with measuring Ci concentrations. LCIB dispersed or localized in the basal region of the chloroplast stroma at 8.3–15 µM CO2, whereas LCIB migrated toward the pyrenoid at 6.5 µM CO2. Furthermore, LCIB relocated toward the pyrenoid at 2.6–3.4 µM CO2, even in cells in the dark or treated with 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea and cycloheximide in light. In contrast, in the mutant lacking CCM1, a master regulator of CCM, LCIB remained dispersed even at 4.3 µM CO2. Meanwhile, a simultaneous expression of LCIC, an interacting protein of LCIB, induced the localization of several speckled structures at the pyrenoid periphery. These results suggest that the localization changes of LCIB require LCIC and are controlled by CO2 concentration with ∼7 µM as the boundary.Algal chloroplast proteins undergo localization changes in response to CO2 concentrations, reflecting their physiological function in survival under fluctuating CO2 environments. 相似文献

Many microalgae are capable of acclimating to CO(2) limited environments by operating a CO(2) concentrating mechanism (CCM), which is driven by various energy-coupled inorganic carbon (Ci; CO(2) and HCO(3)(-)) uptake systems. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (hereafter, Chlamydomonas), a versatile genetic model organism, has been used for several decades to exemplify the active Ci transport in eukaryotic algae, but only recently have many molecular details behind these Ci uptake systems emerged. Recent advances in genetic and molecular approaches, combined with the genome sequencing of Chlamydomonas and several other eukaryotic algae have unraveled some unique characteristics associated with the Ci uptake mechanism and the Ci-recapture system in eukaryotic microalgae. Several good candidate genes for Ci transporters in Chlamydomonas have been identified, and a few specific gene products have been linked with the Ci uptake systems associated with the different acclimation states. This review will focus on the latest studies on characterization of functional components involved in the Ci uptake and the Ci-recapture in Chlamydomonas. 相似文献

Changes in total leaf nitrogen and partitioning of leaf nitrogen drive photosynthetic acclimation to light in fully developed walnut leaves 总被引:15,自引:6,他引:9

Comprehensive studies on the processes involved in photosynthetic acclimation after a sudden change in light regime are scarce, particularly for trees. We tested (i) the ability of photosynthetic acclimation in the foliage of walnut trees growing outdoors after low‐to‐high and high‐to‐low light transfers made early or late in the vegetation cycle, and (ii) the relative importance of changes in total leaf nitrogen versus changes in the partitioning of leaf nitrogen between the different photosynthetic functions during a 2 month period after transfer. Changes in maximum carboxylation rate, light‐saturated electron transport rate, respiration rate, total leaf nitrogen, ribulose 1·5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and total chlorophylls were surveyed before and after the change in light regime. Respiration rate acclimated fully within 1 week of transfer, and full acclimation was observed 1 month after transfer for the amount of Rubisco. In contrast, total nitrogen and photosynthetic capacity acclimated only partially during the 2 month period. Changes in photosynthetic capacity were driven by changes in both total leaf nitrogen and leaf nitrogen partitioning. The extent of acclimation also depended strongly on leaf age at the time of the change in light regime. 相似文献

Cyanobacteria show high metabolic plasticity by re‐allocating macromolecular resources in response to variations in both environmental inorganic carbon (Ci) and light. We grew cultures of the picoplanktonic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus Nägeli across a 50‐fold range of growth irradiance at either a dissolved [Ci] <0.1 mM, sufficient to induce strongly the carbon‐concentrating mechanism (CCM) or a dissolved [Ci] of ~4 mM, sufficient to strongly induce the CCM to basal constitutive activity. There was no detectable growth cost of acclimation to low Ci across the entire range of irradiance and growth was nearly light saturated at 50 l mol photons·m?2·s?1. Cells acclimated to low Ci significantly re‐allocated macromolecular resources to support their CCM, while maintaining near homeostatis of metabolic flux per unit photosynthetic complex. Changing growth irradiance also drove re‐organization of the photosynthetic machinery to balance excitation flux and metabolic demands, but flux per complex varied widely across the range of tolerable growth irradiances. Across the range of growth irradiance, low Ci cells had significantly less phycocyanin than high Ci cells, which corresponded to a lower PSII absorbance capacity. Furthermore, low Ci cells maintained more PSI per cell?1 than high Ci cells under high growth irradiance. Low Ci cells could therefore maintain more of their PSII reaction centers open at high growth irradiance than could high Ci cells, which experienced a significant PSII closure. Thus, acclimation to growth under high available Ci actually constrained acclimation to high light by restricting electron transport downstream from PSII in S. elongatus. 相似文献

When measured at a same CO(2) concentration, net photosynthetic rate is often significantly lower in long-term high CO(2)-grown plants than the ambient CO(2)-grown ones. This phenomenon is termed photosynthetic acclimation or down-regulation. Although there have been many reports and reviews, the mechanism(s) of the photosynthetic acclimation is not very clear. Combining the work of the authors' group, this paper briefly reviews the progress in studies on the mechanism(s) of the photosynthetic acclimation to elevated CO(2). It is suggested that besides the possible effects of respiration enhancement and excessive photosynthate accumulation, RuBP carboxylation limitation and RuBP regeneration limitation are probably the main factors leading to the photosynthetic acclimation. 相似文献

The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii acclimates to low-CO2 (LC) conditions by actively transporting inorganic carbon (Ci) into the cell, resulting in an increase in photosynthetic efficiency. This mechanism is called the carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM), and soluble protein LCIB is essential for the CCM. LCIB is localized in the vicinity of pyrenoid, a prominent structure in the chloroplast, under LC conditions in the light. In contrast, in the dark or in high-CO2 conditions, where the CCM is inactive, LCIB diffuses away from the pyrenoid. Although the functional importance of LCIB for the CCM has been shown, the significance and mechanism of the change in suborganellar localization of LCIB remain to be elucidated. In this study, we screened 13,000 DNA-tagged mutants and isolated twelve aberrant LCIB localization (abl) mutants under LC conditions. abl-1 and abl-3 with dispersed and speckled localization of LCIB in the chloroplast showed significant decreases in Ci affinity, Ci accumulation, and CO2 fixation. Ten abl mutants (abl-1, abl-3, abl-4, abl-5, abl-6, abl-7, abl-8, abl-9, abl-11, and abl-12) showed not only aberrant LCIB localization but also reduced pyrenoid sizes. Moreover, three abl mutants (abl-10, abl-11, and abl-12) showed the increased numbers of pyrenoids per cell. These results suggested that the specific LCIB localization could be related to pyrenoid development. 相似文献

The mechanism to suppress photosynthesis through end-product inhibition in single-rooted soybean leaves during acclimation to CO(2) enrichment. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
S Sawada M Kuninaka K Watanabe A Sato H Kawamura K Komine T Sakamoto M Kasai 《Plant & cell physiology》2001,42(10):1093-1102
Single-rooted soybean leaves were used to investigate the suppression of photosynthesis through end-product inhibition during acclimation to CO(2 )enrichment. The photosynthetic activity was greater in leaves cultured at a CO(2) partial pressure of 70 Pa (high-CO(2)) than that in the leaves cultured at 35 Pa CO(2) (control) during the initial exposure to CO(2) enrichment but then decreased rapidly with a large accumulation of starch, to well below the level of the control leaves. The response curve of photosynthesis (A) to the intercellular CO(2) concentration (Ci) in the high-CO(2) leaves cultured long-term exhibited a significantly low initial gradient. However, on exposure to darkness for 48 h, the initial gradient of the A to Ci curve and rate of photosynthesis were completely restored, and almost all of the accumulated starch was expended. The ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPcase) content and activation ratio in the high-CO(2) leaves remained high and roughly constant during the experiment, and were unchanged by the exposure, while this enzyme was slightly inactivated or inhibited after long-term exposure to CO(2) enrichment. The lower rate of photosynthesis in the high-CO(2) leaves could be linearly increased to a rate approaching the control level by increasing the external atmospheric [CO(2)], which thereby compensated for a reduced CO(2) transfer diffusion from the intercellular space to the stroma in chloroplasts. It is consequently concluded that, during the acclimation to CO(2 )enrichment, the suppression of photosynthesis through end-product inhibition was mainly caused by a lowering of the carboxylation efficiency of RuBPcase due to hindrance of CO(2) diffusion from the intercellular space to the stroma in chloroplasts brought about by the large accumulation of starch. 相似文献

Elevated CO(2) levels are hypothesized to play a role in the initiation and maintenance of estivation in snails through disturbances of acid-base status. The aim of our study was to identify the ambient CO(2) threshold that induces disturbances in acid-base status in the air-breathing land snail Helix lucorum. Acid-base parameters were determined in the hemolymph of snails acclimated to 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, and 8% CO(2) in air for 20 d. In addition, we evaluated the effects of long-term acclimation on metabolic rate and on levels of D-lactate dehydrogenase activity (D-LDH) and of D-lactate in snails after 20 d of exposure to increased CO(2) levels. Helix lucorum proved to be unable to compensate for a decrease in extracellular pH (pH(e)) when acclimated to levels higher than 1% CO(2) in air. The rate of oxygen consumption started to decrease when snails were acclimated to 0.5% CO(2) in air. However, there was no correlation between the drops in pH(e) and in metabolic rate. Long-term acclimation to elevated CO(2) levels induced an increase in the activity of D-LDH with a concomitant accumulation of D-lactate in tissues. This indicates that long-term acclimation to elevated ambient CO(2) levels could reduce the aerobic capacity of land snails and trigger expression of anaerobic pathways of ATP turnover. The threshold levels of ambient CO(2) that induce changes in acid-base status and elicit metabolic depression in adult land snails H. lucorum are higher than the future atmospheric levels that are expected to result from human use of fossil energy resources. 相似文献

The CO2-concentrating mechanism confers microalgae a versatile and efficient strategy for adapting to a wide range of environmental CO2 concentrations. LCIB, which has been demonstrated as a key player in the eukaryotic algal CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM), is a novel protein in Chlamydomonas lacking any recognizable domain or motif, and its exact function in the CCM has not been clearly defined. The unique air-dier growth phenotype and photosynthetic characteristics in the LCIB mutants, and re-localization of LCIB between different subcellular locations in response to different levels of CO2, have indicated that the function of LCIB is closely associated with a distinct low CO2 acclimation state. Here, we review physiological and molecular evidence linking LCIB with inorganic carbon accumulation in the CCM and discuss the proposed function of LCIB in several inorganic carbon uptake/accumulation pathways. Several new molecular characteristics of LCIB also are presented. 相似文献

The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cia3 mutant has a phenotype indicating that it requires high-CO(2) levels for effective photosynthesis and growth. It was initially proposed that this mutant was defective in a carbonic anhydrase (CA) that was a key component of the photosynthetic CO(2)-concentrating mechanism (CCM). However, more recent identification of the genetic lesion as a defect in a lumenal CA associated with photosystem II (PSII) has raised questions about the role of this CA in either the CCM or PSII function. To resolve the role of this lumenal CA, we re-examined the physiology of the cia3 mutant. We confirmed and extended previous gas exchange analyses by using membrane-inlet mass spectrometry to monitor(16)O(2),(18)O(2), and CO(2) fluxes in vivo. The results demonstrate that PSII electron transport is not limited in the cia3 mutant at low inorganic carbon (Ci). We also measured metabolite pools sizes and showed that the RuBP pool does not fall to abnormally low levels at low Ci as might be expected by a photosynthetic electron transport or ATP generation limitation. Overall, the results demonstrate that under low Ci conditions, the mutant lacks the ability to supply Rubisco with adequate CO(2) for effective CO(2) fixation and is not limited directly by any aspect of PSII function. We conclude that the thylakoid CA is primarily required for the proper functioning of the CCM at low Ci by providing an ample supply of CO(2) for Rubisco. 相似文献
