Photoinhibition induced alterations in energy transfer process in phycobilisomes of PS II in the cyanobacterium, Spirulina platensis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Exposure of algae or plants to irradiance from above the light saturation point of photosynthesis is known as high light stress. This high light stress induces various responses including photoinhibition of the photosynthetic apparatus. The degree of photoinhibition could be clearly determined by measuring the parameters such as absorption and fluorescence of chromoproteins. In cyanobacteria and red algae, most of the photosystem (PS) II associated light harvesting is performed by a membrane attached complex called the phycobilisome (PBS). The effects of high intensity light (1000-4000 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1)) on excitation energy transfer from PBSs to PS II in a cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis were studied by measuring room temperature PC fluorescence emission spectra. High light (3000 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1)) stress had a significant effect on PC fluorescence emission spectra. On the other hand, light stress induced an increase in the ratio of PC fluorescence intensity of PBS indicating that light stress inhibits excitation energy transfer from PBS to PS II. The high light treatment to 3000 micromol photons m(-2) s(-1) caused disappearance of 31.5 kDa linker polypeptide which is known to link PC discs together. In addition we observed the similar decrease in the other polypeptide contents. Our data concludes that the Spirulina cells upon light treatment causes alterations in the phycobiliproteins (PBPs) and affects the energy transfer process within the PBSs. 相似文献

The effects of high temperature (30-52.5 degrees C) on excitation energy transfer from phycobilisomes (PBS) to photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) in a cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis grown at 30 degrees C were studied by measuring 77 K chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence emission spectra. Heat stress had a significant effect on 77 K Chl fluorescence emission spectra excited either at 436 or 580 nm. In order to reveal what parts of the photosynthetic apparatus were responsible for the changes in the related Chl fluorescence emission peaks, we fitted the emission spectra by Gaussian components according to the assignments of emission bands to different components of the photosynthetic apparatus. The 643 and 664 nm emissions originate from C-phycocyanin (CPC) and allophycocyanin (APC), respectively. The 685 and 695 nm emissions originate mainly from the core antenna complexes of PSII, CP43 and CP47, respectively. The 725 and 751 nm band is most effectively produced by PSI. There was no significant change in F725 and F751 during heat stress, suggesting that heat stress had no effects on excitation energy transfer from PBS to PSI. On the other hand, heat stress induced an increase in the ratio of Chl fluorescence yield of PBS to PSII, indicating that heat stress inhibits excitation energy transfer from PBS to PSII. However, this inhibition was not associated with an inhibition of excitation energy transfer from CPC to APC since no significant changes in F643 occurred at high temperatures. A dramatic enhancement of F664 occurring at 52.5 degrees C indicates that excitation energy transfer from APC to the PSII core complexes is suppressed at this temperature, possibly due to the structural changes within the PBS core but not to a detachment of PBS from PSII, resulting in an inhibition of excitation energy transfer from APC to PSII core complexes (CP47 + CP43). A decrease in F685 and F695 in heat-stressed cells with excitation at 436 nm seems to suggest that heat stress did not inhibit excitation energy transfer from the Chl a binding proteins CP47 and CP43 to the PSII reaction center and the decreased Chl fluorescence yields from CP43 and CP47 could be explained by the inhibition of the energy transfer from APC to PSII core complexes (CP47 + CP43). 相似文献

From the dissociation of Anabaena variabilis phycobilisomesfour phycocyanin (PC) and four allophycocyanin (APC) subparticlesspecies were isolated. In high phosphate a 14.5 S APC fractionwas capable of associating with an APC trimer (6.1 S) fractionat the ratio of 2 : 4 to yield 23 S APC particles. The 23 SAPC particles by electron microscopy were square in shape withthe dimension of 16 x 23 nm, strongly resembling the core ofnative phycobilisomes. When the 23 S APC particles were mixedwith PC subparticles, phycobilisomes resulted which were indistinguishablefrom native phycobilisomes in shape as well as in the capacityof transferring excitation energy. It appears that phycobilisomesconsist of two far-emitting APC moieties, each of which hascontact with one PC rod.

Photosensitizing dyes are used in fluorescence diagnostics and photodynamic therapy (PDT). These usually hematoporphyrin derivatives (HpD) accumulate preferentially within neoplastic tissues. HpD is a mixture of ether and ester linked porphyrins. Its partially purified form is known under the commercial name of photofrin II (PII). PII emission spectra were studied in a hydrophilic (PBS) and a lipophilic (PC liposomes) environment. Red shift was observed in their emission maxima from 615 nm in buffer solution to 635 nm in lipid. Identical red shift was obtained when the intracellular fluorescence of two cancer cell lines, MCF 7 and Jurkat, incubated with PII was investigated. Thus, intramembrane localization of PII may be suggested. As determined from the total fluorescence intensity, the uptake of PII was only slightly higher for Jurkat than for MCF 7 cells. Nevertheless the kinetics of the uptake was found to be different for both cell lines. 相似文献

A time-dependent loss of Photosystem II (PS II) activity seen in Anacystis nidulans grown without Ca2+ was paralleled by a loss in chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence of variable yield which reflects inhibition of Q reduction and of state changes. Both inhibitions were fully reversed by the addition of Ca2+ to the growth medium. The lack of state changes in Ca2+-depleted cells was confirmed in 77 K fluorescence difference spectra of light versus dark-adapted cells.Absorption spectra of control and of Ca2+-depleted cells were identical whether measured at room temperature or at 77 K. Fluorescence emission spectra measured at 39°C (cell growth temperature) demonstrated higher yields in Ca2+-depleted cells compared to controls. Fluorescence emission spectra at 77 K also produced higher yields in Ca2+-depleted cells but the increased fluorescence at this temperature occurred principally at 683 nm. The increased relative fluorescence yield in Ca2+-depleted samples results from light absorbed by phycocyanin (PC), but not from light absorbed almost exclusively by Chl. The 683 run fluorescence peak probably represents increased allophycocyanin (APC) emission as intact phycobilisomes become energetically disassociated from the photosynthetic apparatus. This inferred disassociation occurred only after PSII activity was mostly inhibited in Ca2+-depleted cells, and was not fully reversible.Abbreviations APC

The photosynthetic apparatus of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6714 cells grown chemoheterotrophically (dark with glucose as a carbon source) and photoautotrophically (light in a mineral medium) were compared. Dark-grown cells show a decrease in phycocyanin content and an even greater decrease in chlorophyll content with respect to light-grown cells. Analysis of fluorescence emission spectra at 77 K and at 20 °C, of dark- and light-grown cells, and of phycobilisomes isolated from both types of cells, indicated that in darkness the phycobiliproteins were assembled in functional phycobilisomes (PBS). The dark synthesized PBS, however, were unable to transfer their excitation energy to PS II chlorophyll. Upon illumination of dark-grown cells, recovery of photosynthetic activity, pigment content and energy transfer between PBS and PS II was achieved in 24–48 h according to various steps. For O2 evolution the initial step was independent of protein synthesis, but the later steps needed de novo synthesis. Concerning recovery of PBS to PS II energy transfer, light seems to be necessary, but neither PS II functioning nor de novo protein synthesis were required. Similarly, light, rather than functional PS II, was important for the recovery of an efficient energy transfer in nitrate-starved cells upon readdition of nitrate. In addition, it has been shown that normal phycobilisomes could accumulate in a Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 mutant deficient in Photosystem II activity.Abbreviations APC

The features of the two types of short-term light-adaptations of photosynthetic apparatus, State 1/State 2 transitions, and
non-photochemical fluorescence quenching of phycobilisomes (PBS) by orange carotene-protein (OCP) were compared in the cyanobacterium
Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 wild type, CK pigment mutant lacking phycocyanin, and PAL mutant totally devoid of phycobiliproteins. The permanent
presence of PBS-specific peaks in the in situ action spectra of photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII), as well as
in the 77 K fluorescence excitation spectra for chlorophyll emission at 690 nm (PSII) and 725 nm (PSI) showed that PBS are
constitutive antenna complexes of both photosystems. The mutant strains compensated the lack of phycobiliproteins by higher
PSII content and by intensification of photosynthetic linear electron transfer. The detectable changes of energy migration
from PBS to the PSI and PSII in the Synechocystis wild type and the CK mutant in State 1 and State 2 according to the fluorescence excitation spectra measurements were not
registered. The constant level of fluorescence emission of PSI during State 1/State 2 transitions and simultaneous increase
of chlorophyll fluorescence emission of PSII in State 1 in Synechocystis PAL mutant allowed to propose that spillover is an unlikely mechanism of state transitions. Blue–green light absorbed by
OCP diminished the rout of energy from PBS to PSI while energy migration from PBS to PSII was less influenced. Therefore,
the main role of OCP-induced quenching of PBS is the limitation of PSI activity and cyclic electron transport under relatively
high light conditions. 相似文献

Phycobilisomes (PBS) are the major photosynthetic antenna complexes in cyanobacteria and red algae. In the red microalga Galdieria sulphuraria, action spectra measured separately for photosynthetic activities of photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) demonstrate that PBS fraction attributed to PSI is more sensitive to stress conditions and upon nitrogen starvation disappears from the cell earlier than the fraction of PBS coupled to PSII. Preillumination of the cells by actinic far-red light primarily absorbed by PSI caused an increase in the amplitude of the PBS low-temperature fluorescence emission that was accompanied by the decrease in PBS region of the PSI 77 K fluorescence excitation spectrum. Under the same conditions, fluorescence excitation spectrum of PSII remained unchanged. The amplitude of P700 photooxidation in PBS-absorbed light at physiological temperature was found to match the fluorescence changes observed at 77 K. The far-red light adaptations were reversible within 2-5min. It is suggested that the short-term fluorescence alterations observed in far-red light are triggered by the redox state of P700 and correspond to the temporal detachment of the PBS antenna from the core complexes of PSI. Furthermore, the absence of any change in the 77 K fluorescence excitation cross-section of PSII suggests that light energy transfer from PBS to PSI in G. sulphuraria is direct and does not occur through PSII. Finally, a novel photoprotective role of PBS in red algae is discussed. 相似文献

Spectral changes in fluorescence of phycobilisomes (PBS) of A. variabilis treated with proteinase K were studied at room and liquid nitrogen temperature. In control PBS, the relative yield of 77 K fluorescence of F686 was very high, and those of F655 and F666 were low. In PBS treated with proteinase K for less than 1 h, F686 decreased, and F655 and F666 increased. In PBS treated with proteinase K for 2 h, F655 was the main peak of fluorescence emission, F686 was the second peak, the fluorescence emission peak of F666 disappeared. In PBS treated with proteinase K for more than 8 h, F655 showed only one fluorescence emission peak.We suggested that phycobiliporteins in the PBS of A. variabilis constitute an energy transfer chain, shown as follows:{fx91-1}The linkages between APC and APC-B, C-PC and APC, and C-PC and APC-B had different sensitivity towards proteinase K. 相似文献

Guard cell protoplasts were isolated enzymatically from theepidermis of Vicia faba L. and their photosynthetic activitieswere investigated. Time courses of light-induced changes inthe chlorophyll a fluorescence intensity of these protoplastsshowed essentially the same induction kinetics as found formesophyll protoplasts of Vicia. The transient change in thefluorescence intensity was affected by DCMU, an inhibitor ofphotosystem II; by phenylmercuric acetate, an inhibitor of ferredoxinand ferredoxin NADP reductase; and by methyl viologen, an acceptorof photosystem I. Low temperature (77 K) emission spectra ofthe protoplasts had peaks at 684 and 735 nm and a shoulder near695 nm. A high O2 uptake (175 µmol mg1 Chl hr1)was observed in guard cell protoplasts kept in darkness, whichwas inhibited by 2 mM KCN or NaN3 by about 60%. On illumination,this O2 uptake was partially or completely suppressed, but itssuppression was removed by DCMU, which indicates that oxygenwas evolved (150 µmol mg1 Chl hr1) photosynthetically.We concluded that both photosystems I and II function in guardcell chloroplasts and that these protoplasts have high respiratoryactivity.

Probing connection of PBS with the photosystems in intact cells of Spirulina platensis by temperature-induced fluorescence fluctuation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Temperature-dependent fluorescence for intact cells of cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis was detected to search for the connection of the phycobilisome (PBS) with Photosystem I (PSI) and Photosystem II (PSII). Some interesting results were obtained from the deconvoluted fluorescence components of C-phycocyanin (C-PC), allophycocyanin (APC), PSI and PSII as well as the fluorescence spectra of the intact cells at room temperature (RT=25 degrees C) and 0 degrees C. It was observed that, compared to those at RT, both of the fluorescence components for PSI and APC increased, whereas those for PSII and C-PC decreased at 0 degrees C with excitation at 580 nm, that is, the fluorescence for C-PC is not synchronous with that for APC, and the fluorescence fluctuation for PSI is not synchronous with that for PSII. On the other hand, the decrease in C-PC fluorescence is synchronous with the increase in PSI fluorescence, and the increase in APC fluorescence is synchronous with the decrease in PSII fluorescence. Therefore, it can be readily deduced that PBS should be coupled not only with PSII through the terminal acceptors in the APC core but also with PSI through C-PC in PBS rods at physiological condition, while at 0 degrees C, a migration of a PBS makes the APC partially detached from PSII but the C-PC more efficiently coupled with PSI. The results provide good evidences for "mobile PBS" model and "parallel connection" model but not for the "spillover" model. 相似文献

Main emissions at196?C from phycobilisomes of two blue-greenalgae Anabaena cylindrica and Anacystis nidulans were studiedwith special reference to allophycocyanin (APC) B content. Supplementaryexperiments were done with Anabaena variabilis (M-2 and M-3).The main emission from phycobilisome of Anacystis nidulans richin APC B was located at 681 nm. The location was identical tothat of the main emission from APC B but at a shorter wavelengththan that of in vivo emission (685 nm). Results indicate thatAPC B acts as the energy output of phycobilisomes, but thatthe in vivo 685 nm emission is not attributed to APC B. The main emission of the phycobilisome of Anabaena cylindricawas always located at 685 nm irrespective of the preparationmethod; 0.75 M phosphate buffer [Plant Physiol., 63: 615620(1979)] or 30% polyethylene glycol [Special Issue of Plant &Cell Physiol., No. 3, p. 2331 (1977)]. This alga alsocontained a special form of APC, but its content was very low.The location of its emission band (681 nm) was identical tothat of APC B, but shorter than that of the main band of phycobilisomes(685 nm). The 685 nm emitter in phycobilisomes showed a charactersimilar to chlorophyll a but not phycobiliproteins in treatmentsfor aqueous extraction or methanol extraction. Results indicatethat the pigment is probably chlorophyll a as we assumed previously.The 685 nm emission from phycobilisomes of Anabaena variabilis(M-2 and M-3) showed the same character. Results were interpreted as indicating that (i) the contentof the special form of APC varies with the species or strainof blue-green algae and (ii) the energy at the phycobilin levelis transferred directly from APC to pigment system II chlorophylla when the amount of the special form of APC is low.

Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 when grown in the presence of sublethal (M) levels of cobalt chloride shows an enhancement of Photosystem II (PS II) catalyzed Hill reaction. This stimulation seems to be induced by cobalt ions as other metal ions inhibit para-benzoquinone catalyzed Hill reaction. At saturating white light intensity, this enhancement is two times over that of the control cells on unit chlorophyll basis. Analysis of the PS II electron transport rate at varying intensities of white, blue or yellow light suggests an increased maximal rates but no change in the quantum yield or effective antenna size of CoCl2-grown cells. There were no structural and functional changes in the phycobilisome as judged by the absence of changes in the phycocyanin/allophycocyanin ratio, fluorescence emission spectra, second derivative absorption spectra at 77 K and SDS-PAGE analysis of isolated phycobilisomes. The 77 K fluorescence emission spectra of the cells showed a decrease in the ratio of Photosystem I emission (F725) to Photosystem II emission (F685) in CoCl2-grown cells compared to the control cells. These observations indicate three possibilities: (1) there is an increase in the number of Photosystem II units; (2) a faster turnover of Photosystem II centers; or (3) an alteration in energy redistribution between PS II and PS I in CoCl2-grown cells which causes stimulation of Photosystem II electron transport rate.Abbreviations APC

The time-course of acclimation (0-5h) of the red alga Porphyridium purpureum with respect to total proteins, phycoerythrin (PE) and phycobilisomes (PBS) has been studied at different N availability and different light regimes. After a high N input, acclimation takes place in two phases. The first one, which is photoindependent is characterized by simultaneous increase of proteins and PE. At low N input, this first phase is not detected. In the second phase the PE content increases only under low light together with an increase of the PBS size, followed probably by an increase in the number of PBS. The effectiveness of the energy transfer increases under these conditions. A rapid decrease in the PBS size correlated with a decrease of the energy transfer is observed at high irradiance. Free PE plays an important role in the organization-disorganization of the PBS at low N concentration (inverse correlation between free PE and PE attached to PBS). Free PE is not accumulated in the cell after a high N input at high irradiance. Independently of photoacclimation, two species of PBS appear with different PE content and different capacities to aggregate with other compounds. A clear correlation appears between the level of coupling of the PBS and the fluorescence ‘in vivo’ of the whole cells. The comparison between dissociated and undissociated PBS as well as between PBS obtained after the different acclimation processes allows the determination of the presence of two linker polypeptides probably associated with B-PE (37 and 32–5 kDa) and two associated with PC and APC (27 and 25 kDa). That suggests that acclimation of PBS requires a parallel stoichiometric response of biliproteins and the linker polypeptides involved in the efficiency of the energy transfer. 相似文献

Unicellular autofluorescent picoplankton ranging from 0.6 to 0.9 ym in diameter were isolated from Lake Maggiore and from Lake Balaton. The cyanobacterial isolates contain two accessory pigments: phycoerythrin (PE) and phycocyanin (PC) respectively. The in vivo spectral properties of the two clones were compared to identify characteristics of the pigments. In vivo fluorescence excitation and emission spectra revealed that clones with PE are composed only of phycoerythrobilin chromophores and lack phycourobilin. Glycerol treatment enhances the fluorescence yield up to 3 times and improves the detection sensitivity of PE particularly at 436 and 520 nm and of PC at 600 nm. The vertical profiles of the underwater irradiance at different wavelengths were measured in both lakes to study the light quality of the natural environment of the two strains. Growth rates of both clones growing at different light intensities and wavelengths, selected by the same filters used for vertical profiles, were estimated. The results showed a difference in growth rate of phycoerythrin and phycocyanin containing cells exposed to an equal quantum flux of preferential illumination. In particular the maximum growth rate was reached by PE cells exposed to green light and by PC cells exposed to red light. 相似文献

Many cyanobacteria are highly adaptable to light quality, and many species undergo a complex life cycle. In this study we show that adaptive changes in the photosynthetic apparatus of cyanobacteria are not only caused by environmental, but also by developmental factors. Spectral confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to analyse in vivo the fluorescence spectra of the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a (Chl a), allophycocyanin (APC), phycocyanin (PC) and phycoerythrin (PE) of two Nostoc punctiforme strains. Changes in pigment fluorescence emission occurred in different developmental stages. Strain 1:1-26 showed an emission maximum at 674 nm in motile hormogonia stages, whereas vegetative stages showed maxima at 658 and 575 nm. These changes were not caused by chromatic adaptation. In contrast, the second strain (1:1-26lg) showed distinct fluorescence spectra, pigment localization and clear chromatic adaptation in red light. When these properties are known, both strains can be easily distinguished by the spectral CLSM method, which also allows the localization of the pigments within single cells. To calculate the contribution of individual phycobiliproteins to the observed changes, fluorescence spectra were analysed by spectral unmixing. This allowed the mathematical estimation of fluorescence shares for the individual phycobiliproteins in different developmental stages and both before and after chromatic adaptation. It is concluded that care should be taken when characterizing cyanobacteria by differences in pigment fluorescence, because these differences are influenced not only by chromatic adaptation, but also developmental stages. Spectral CLSM offers a powerful method to study the phycobiliprotein composition in vivo. 相似文献

The assembly and maturation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) virus-like particle (VLP) has been monitored by measuring the intrinsic fluorescence intensity using excitation at 290 nm and emission at 350 nm. The assay was validated to eliminate error due to photo-bleaching, adsorption, and precipitation. Intrinsic fluorescence intensity dropped during both assembly and maturation phases. The decrease during assembly had a second-order dependence on capsomere concentration, as previously observed using light scattering. During post-assembly structural modification the decrease had a first-order dependence on capsomere concentration. Intrinsic fluorescence spectroscopy complements light scattering methodologies for monitoring assembly and enables kinetics of maturation to be observed. The role of environmental factors such as the presence of oxidized glutathione in facilitation of faster and more complete maturation was monitored in real time. Intrinsic fluorescence is a rugged methodology that could be applied to monitoring VLP assembly and maturation unit operations during HPV vaccine manufacturing. 相似文献

Cells of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus 6301 were grown in yellow light absorbed primarily by the phycobilisome (PBS) light-harvesting antenna of photosystem II (PS II), and in red light absorbed primarily by chlorophyll and, therefore, by photosystem I (PS I). Chromatic acclimation of the cells produced a higher phycocyanin/chlorophyll ratio and higher PBS-PS II/PS I ratio in cells grown under PS I-light. State 1-state 2 transitions were demonstrated as changes in the yield of chlorophyll fluorescence in both cell types. The amplitude of state transitions was substantially lower in the PS II-light grown cells, suggesting a specific attenuation of fluorescence yield by a superimposed non-photochemical quenching of excitation. 77 K fluorescence emission spectra of each cell type in state 1 and in state 2 suggested that state transitions regulate excitation energy transfer from the phycobilisome antenna to the reaction centre of PS II and are distinct from photosystem stoichiometry adjustments. The kinetics of photosystem stoichiometry adjustment and the kinetics of the appearance of the non-photochemical quenching process were measured upon switching PS I-light grown cells to PS II-light, and vice versa. Photosystem stoichiometry adjustment was complete within about 48 h, while the non-photochemical quenching occurred within about 25 h. It is proposed that there are at least three distinct phenomena exerting specific effects on the rate of light absorption and light utilization by the two photoreactions: state transitions; photosystem stoichiometry adjustment; and non-photochemical excitation quenching. The relationship between these three distinct processes is discussed.Abbreviations Chl
