We have examined tobacco transformed with an antisense construct against the Rieske-FeS subunit of the cytochromeb 6 f complex, containing only 15 to 20% of the wild-type level of cytochrome f. The anti-Rieske-FeS leaves had a comparable chlorophyll and Photosystem II reaction center stoichiometry and a comparable carotenoid profile to the wild-type, with differences of less than 10% on a leaf area basis. When exposed to high irradiance, the anti-Rieske-FeS leaves showed a greatly increased closure of Photosystem II and a much reduced capacity to develop non-photochemical quenching compared with wild-type. However, contrary to our expectations, the anti-Rieske-FeS leaves were not more susceptible to photoinhibition than were wild-type leaves. Further, when we regulated the irradiance so that the excitation pressure on photosystem II was equivalent in both the anti-Rieske-FeS and wild-type leaves, the anti-Rieske-FeS leaves experienced much less photoinhibition than wild-type. The evidence from the anti-Rieske-FeS tobacco suggests that rapid photoinactivation of Photosystem II in vivo only occurs when closure of Photosystem II coincides with lumen acidification. These results suggest that the model of photoinhibition in vivo occurring principally because of limitations to electron withdrawal from photosystem II does not explain photoinhibition in these transgenic tobacco leaves, and we need to re-evaluate the twinned concepts of photoinhibition and photoprotection.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlophenyl)-1,-dimethylurea - Fo and Fo minimal fluorescence when all PS II reaction centers are open in dark- and light-acclimated leaves, respectively - Fm and Fm maximal fluorescence when all PS II reaction centers are closed in dark- and light-acclimated leaves, respectively - Fv variable fluorescence (Fm-Fo) in dark acclimated leaves - Fv variable fluorescence (Fm-Fo) in lightacclimated leaves - NPQ non-photochemical quenching of fluorescence - PS I and PS II Photosystem I and II - P680 primary electron donor of the reaction center of PS II - PFD photosynthetic flux density - QA primary acceptor quinone of PS II - qp photochemical quenching of fluorescence - V+A+Z violaxanthin+antheraxanthin+zeaxanthin  相似文献

High light treatments were given to attached leaves of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) at room temperature and at 1°C where the diffusion- and enzyme-dependent repair processes of Photosystem II are at a minimum. After treatments, electron transfer activities and fluorescence induction were measured from thylakoids isolated from the treated leaves. When the photoinhibition treatment was given at 1°C, the Photosystem II electron transfer assays that were designed to require electron transfer to the plastoquinone pool showed greater inhibition than electron transfer from H2O to paraphenyl-benzoquinone, which measures all PS II centers. When the light treatment was given at room temperature, electron transfer from H2O to paraphenyl-benzoquinone was inhibited more than whole-chain electron transfer. Variable fluorescence measured in the presence of ferricyanide decreased only during room-temperature treatments. These results suggest that reaction centers of one pool of Photosystem II, non-QB-PS II, replace photoinhibited reaction centers at room temperature, while no replacement occurs at 1°C. A simulation of photoinhibition at 1°C supports this conclusion.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - Chl chlorophyll - DCMU 3-(3,4,-dichlorophenyl)-1,1,-dimethylurea - DCPIP dichlorophenol-indophenol (2,6-dichloro-4((4-hydroxyphenyl)imino)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one) - DPC diphenyl carbazide (2,2-diphenylcarbonic dihydrazide) - FeCN ferricyanide (hexacyanoferrate(III)) - app apparent quantum yield of photosynthetic oxygen evolution - MV methyl viologen (1,1-dimethyl-4,4-bipyridinium dichloride) - PPBQ phenyl-p-benzoquinone - PPFD photosynthetic photon flux density - PQ pool plastoquinone - QB secondary quinone acceptor of PS II - RT room temperature - WC whole chain electron transfer  相似文献

The present study describes the formation of different forms of peroxide in Photosystem II (PS II) by using a chemiluminescence detection technique. Four chemiluminescence signals (A, B, C and D) of the luminolperoxidase (Lu-Per) system, which detects peroxide, are found in illuminated O2-evolving Photosystem II (PS II) membrane fragments isolated from spinach. Signal A (free peroxide) peaking around 0.2–0.3 s after mixing PS II membrane fragments with Lu-Per is eliminated by catalase or removal of oxygen from the suspension and ascribed to O2 interaction with reduced PS II electron acceptors. In contrast, signal B peaking around 1.5 min remains largely unaffected under anaerobic conditions, as well as in the presence of catalase (20 g/ml). Under flash illumination the extent of this signal exhibits a weak period four oscillation (maximum at third and 7th flash). Its yield increases up to the third flash, but is close to zero in the fourth flash. An analogous behaviour is observed in flashes 5 to 8. Signal B is ascribed to Lu-Per interaction with the water-oxidizing system being in S2 and/or S3-state. Signal C (bound peroxide) detected as free peroxide after acid decomposition of illuminated PS II particles is observed on the 1 st flash and oscillates with period 2 with superposition of period 4. It is evidently related to peroxide either released from S2 or formed at S2 upon acid shock treatment. Signal D (slowly released peroxide) peaking around 2–3 s after mixing is observed in samples after various treatments (LCC-incubation, washing with 1 M NaCl at pH 8 or with 1 M CaCl2, Cl--depletion) that lead to at least partial removal of the extrinsic proteins of 18, 24 and 33 kDa without Mn extraction. The average amplitude of this signal corresponds with a yield of about 0.2 H2O2 molecules per RC and flash. In a flash train, the extent of signal D exhibits an oscillation pattern with a minimum at the 3rd flash. We assume that these treatments increase the release of bound peroxide (upon injection into the Lu-Per assay) either formed in the normal oxidative pathway of the water oxidase in the S2 or the S3-state or give rise to peroxide formation due to higher accessibility of the Mn-cluster to water molecules.Abbreviations DCPIP 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol - DPC diphenylcarbazide - LCC lauroylcholine chloride - Lu-Per luminol peroxidase - PS II Photosystem II - RC reaction center - S2, S3 redox states of the water oxidizing system - TEMED-N,N,N,N tetramethylethylenediamine  相似文献

The energy distribution, state transitions and photosynthetic electron flow during photoinhibition of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells have been studied in vivo using photoacoustics and modulated fluorescence techniques. In cells exposed to 2500 W/m2 light at 21 °C for 90 min, 90% of the oxygen evolution activity was lost while photochemical energy storage as expressed by the parameter photochemical loss (P.L.) at 710–720 nm was not impaired. The energy storage vs. modulation frequency profile indicated an endothermic step with a rate constant of 2.1 ms. The extent of the P.L. was not affected by DCMU but was greatly reduced by DBMIB. The regulatory mechanism of the state 1 to state 2 transition process was inactivated and the apparent light absorption cross section of photosystem II increased during the first 20 min of photoinhibition followed by a significant decrease relative to that of photosystem I. These results are consistent with the inactivation of the LHC II kinase and the presence of an active cyclic electron flow around photosystem I in photoinhibited cells.Abbreviations PS I, PS II Photosystem I and Photosystem II respectively - P.L. photochemical loss - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl-1,1-dimethyl urea - LHC II light harvesting chlorophyll a,b-protein complex of PS II - DBMIB 2,5 dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone  相似文献

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 bovine serum albumin - DAB 3,3-diaminobenzidine - FCPC fucoxanthin-chlorophylla/c light-harvesting complex - LHC light-harvesting complex - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - PS photosystem  相似文献

The quaternary ammonium compound glycinebetaine has been tested for cryoprotective properties, using isolated spinach thylakoids as a model membrane system. The effect of a 3-h,-20°C freezing regime on different photosynthetic parameters was measured. These parameters were the light-stimulated pH formation and dark pH decay, light-stimulated proton uptake, electron flow through photosystem II, photosystem I and total linear electron flow, and pyocyanine-mediated cyclic photophosphorylation. It was shown that below 100 mM glycinebetaine was superior as a cryoprotectant to sucrose on a molar, a molal and an activity basis. At higher concentrations, glycinebetaine was less efficient in preventing inactivation of thylakoids during freezing than sucrose. These observations are discussed in relation to the permeability of biomembranes to glycinebetaine and the colligative theory of cryoprotection. It is concluded that colligative protection is modified by direct interaction between cryoprotectant and membranes.Abbreviations Asc ascorbate - cyt f cytochrome f - DAD 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl--phenylenediamine - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea - DCPIP 2,6-dichlorophenolidophenol - DBMIB 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl--benzoquinone - DNP-INT 1,3-dinitrophenylether of iodonitrothymol - FeCy ferricyanide - MV methylviologen (1,1-dimethyl-4-4-bipyridinium-dichloride) - PQ plastoquinone - PS I photosystem I - PS II photosystem II  相似文献

We have investigated the effect of some metabolic drugs, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU), 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), sodium azide (NaN3), on the photobehavior of single cells of Euglena gracilis, in order to clarify the relevance of different metabolic pathways in the process of photoperception and sensory transduction in this alga. The results obtained show that the photophobic response of Euglena is not affected by the action of these drugs. This suggests that neither the photosynthetic process nor oxidative phosphorylation play a significant role in the phenomenon of photosensory transduction in Euglena.List of Abbreviations DNP 2,4-dinitrophenol - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - PSI Photosystem I - PSII Photosystem II  相似文献

The functional state of the PS II population localized in the stroma exposed non-appressed thylakoid region was investigated by direct analysis of the PS II content of isolated stroma thylakoid vesicles. This PS II population, possessing an antenna size typical for PS II, was found to have a fully functional oxygen evolving capacity in the presence of an added quinone electron acceptor such as phenyl-p-benzoquinone. The sensitivity to DCMU for this PS II population was the same as for PS II in control thylakoids. However, under more physiological conditions, in the absence of an added quinone acceptor, no oxygen was evolved from stroma thylakoid vesicles and their PS II centers were found to be incapable to pass electrons to PS I and to yield NADPH. By comparison of the effect of a variety of added quinone acceptors with different midpoint potentials, it is concluded that the inability of PS II in the stroma thylakoid membranes to contribute to NADPH formation probably is due to that QA of this population is not able to reduce PQ, although it can reduce some artificial acceptors like phenyl-p-benzoquinone. These data give further support to the notion of a discrete PS II population in the non-appressed stroma thylakoid region, PS II, having a higher midpoint potential of QA than the PS II population in the appressed thylakoid region, PS II. The physiological significance of a PS II population that does not produce any NADPH is discussed.Abbreviations pBQ p-benzoquinone - Chl chlorophyll - DCBQ 2,6-dichloro-p-benzoquinone - DCIP 2,6-dichloroindophenol - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DMBQ 2,5-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone - DQ duroquinone(tetramethyl-p-benzoquinone) - FeCN ferricyanide (potassium hexacyanoferrat) - MV methylviologen - NADPH,NADP+ reduced or oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate respectively - PpBQ phenyl-p-benzoquinone - PQ plastoquinone - PS II photosystem II - PS I photosystem I - QA primary quinone acceptor of PS II - QB secondary quinone acceptor of PS II - E microEinstein  相似文献

A Photosystem I submembrane fraction isolated from spinach was used to study the mechanism of heat-stress stimulation of oxygen uptake by the photosystem. Various artificial electron donors were shown to generate electron transport reactions with various degrees of thermally induced stimulation. A strong stimulation was observed with durohydroquinone as electron donor with a maximal effect at 50 °C. The degree of stimulation obtained was independent from the redox potential of the electron donors and from their oxidation site because the enzyme superoxide dismutase fully inhibited the stimulation. Instead, it is proposed that thermal stress causes the release of membrane bound superoxide dismutase from the thylakoids thus allowing the reduced form of electron donors with specific properties to reduce O2 radicals to H2O2 besides the usual disproportionation of O2 into O2 and H2O2.Abbreviations: PS photosystem - DCIP 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol - MV methylviologen - TMPD N,N,N,N-tetramethylphenylenediamine - SOD superoxide dismutase - Chl chlorophyll - DQ duroquinone - DAD N,N,N,N-tetramethyl-1,4-benzenediamine - PMS 5-methylphenazium methyl sulfate - PC plastocyanin  相似文献

The psbP gene product, the so called 23 kDa extrinsic protein, is involved in water oxidation carried out by Photosystem II. However, the protein is not absolutely required for water oxidation. Here we have studied Photosystem II mediated electron transfer in a mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, the FUD 39 mutant, that lacks the psbP protein. When grown in dim light the Photosystem II content in thylakoid membranes of FUD 39 is approximately similar to that in the wild-type. The oxygen evolution is dependent on the presence of chloride as a cofactor, which activates the water oxidation with a dissociation constant of about 4 mM. In the mutant, the oxygen evolution is very sensitive to photoinhibition when assayed at low chloride concentrations while chloride protects against photoinhibition with a dissociation constant of about 5 mM. The photoinhibition is irreversible as oxygen evolution cannot be restored by the addition of chloride to inhibited samples. In addition the inhibition seems to be targeted primarily to the Mn-cluster in Photosystem II as the electron transfer through the remaining part of Photosystem II is photoinhibited with slower kinetics. Thus, this mutant provides an experimental system in which effects of photoinhibition induced by lesions at the donor side of Photosystem II can be studied in vivo.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - DCIP 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol - DPC 2,2-diphenylcarbonic dihydrazide - HEPES 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinethanesulfonic acid - P680 the primary electron donor to PS II - PpBQ phenyl-p-benzoquinone - PS II Photosystem II - QA the first quinone acceptor of PS II - QB the second quinone acceptor of PS II - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate - Tris tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane - TyrD accessory electron donor on the D2-protein - TyrZ tyrosine residue, acting as electron carrier between P680 and the water oxidizing system  相似文献

The localization of photosynthetic activity in developing maize (Zea mays L.) chloroplasts was studied in situ by two electron-microscopic-cytochemical methods. The activity of photosystem I was detected by photooxidation of 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and the activity of the photosystem II by photoreduction of thiocarbamyl nitrotetrazolium blue (TCNBT). During the transformation of proplastids into chloroplasts, at the base of the leaf blade the DAB reaction appeared before the TCNBT reaction. A positive DAB reaction was observed in the single thylakoids of plastids in cells located only about 0.5 mm above the base. Dark, osmiophilic DAB polymers accumulated in the lumina of the thylakoids. Plastid envelopes and tubules of the prolamellar bodies in immature chloroplasts were DAB-negative. In fully differentiated leaf tissue the DAB reaction was intense in the thylakoids of bundle-sheath chloroplasts, as well as in the stroma thylakoids and the peripheral grana thylakoids of mesophyll chloroplats. The photoreduction of TCNBT started in leaf tissue about 1 mm above the base. Dark granular material of reduced TCNBT appeared mostly in the partitions of grana, i.e. interthylakoidally, but some granules were also attached to the stroma thylakoids. The membranes of plastid envelopes and the tubules of prolamellar bodies showed a negative TCNBT reaction. Young bundle-sheath chloroplasts contained some reduced TCNBT in their grana; these deposits largely disappeared in the course of further differentiation. In mature leaf tissue the photoreduction of TCNBT was conspicuous in the grana of mesophyll chloroplasts, but very weak in the single thylakoids and in the granal rudiments of bundle-sheath chloroplasts.Abbreviations DAB 3,3-diaminobenzidine·4 HCl - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - PS(I,II) photosystem (I,II) - TCNBT thiocarbamyl nitrotetrazolium blue chloride  相似文献

A Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002 psaAB::cat mutant has been constructed by deletional interposon mutagenesis of the psaA and psaB genes through selection and segregation under low-light conditions. This strain can grow photoheterotrophically with glycerol as carbon source with a doubling time of 25 h at low light intensity (10 E m–2 s–1). No Photosystem I (PS I)-associated chlorophyll fluorescence emission peak was detected in the psaAB::cat mutant. The chlorophyll content of the psaAB::cat mutant was approximately 20% that of the wild-type strain on a per cell basis. In the absence of the PsaA and PsaB proteins, several other PS I proteins do not accumulate to normal levels. Assembly of the peripheral PS I proteins PsaC,PsaD, PsaE, and PsaL is dependent on the presence of the PsaA and PsaB heterodimer core. The precursor form of PsaF may be inserted into the thylakoid membrane but is not processed to its mature form in the absence of PsaA and PsaB. The absence of PS I reaction centers has no apparent effect on Photosystem II (PS II) assembly and activity. Although the mutant exhibited somewhat greater fluorescence emission from phycocyanin, most of the light energy absorbed by phycobilisomes was efficiently transferred to the PS II reaction centers in the absence of the PS I. No light state transition could be detected in the psaAB::cat strain; in the absence of PS I, cells remain in state 1. Development of this relatively light-tolerant strain lacking PS I provides an important new tool for the genetic manipulation of PS I and further demonstrates the utility of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 for structural and functional analyses of the PS I reaction center.Abbreviations ATCC American type culture collection - Chl chlorophyll - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DBMIB 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone - HEPES N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N-[2-ethanesulfonic acid] - PCC Pasteur culture collection - PS I Photosystem I - PS II Photosystem II - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate  相似文献

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 9-aminoacridine - BSA bovine serium albumin - DCMU 3-/3,4-dichlorophenyl-1,1-dimethyl/urea - DPH 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - HEPES N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid - LHC light harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of PS II - MES 2/N-morpholine/ethanesulfonic acid - PLA2 phospholipase A2 - PS I, PS II photosystem I and photosystem II, respectively - S lipid structural order parameter - THF tetrahydrofuran - TRICINE N-/tris/hydroxymethyl/methyl/glicine  相似文献

Summary Different fixation techniques were employed to obtain satisfactory fixation of the endoplasm ofStentor coeruleus for ultrastructural investigations. The nuclei ofS. coeruleus are surrounded by a flattened fenestrated cisterna. The space between the nuclear envelope and the cisterna (= perinuclear space) is continuous with the cytoplasm via channels. The envelopes of both, micronucleus and macronucleus, are connected to the fenestrated cisterna by filamentous material. This organization accounts for the close association between micronucleus and macronucleus inStentor coeruleus. The fenestrated cisterna is compared to similar structures occurring in other organisms, and its possible function is discussed.Abbreviations fC fenestrated cisterna - FV food vacuole - km km fibers - MaNu macronucleus - MiNu micronucleus - My myonome - NE nuclear envelope - PC perinuclear cisterna - PfC pore of fenestrated cisterna - PS perinuclear cytoplasmic space - EGTA ethyleneglycol-bis-(-aminoethylether)-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid) - GA glutaraldehyde - HEPES N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid - PEG polyethylene glycol - PIPES piperazine-N,N-bis[2-ethanesulfonic acid] - PTA phosphotungstic acid  相似文献

The analysis of photochemical activities of Photosystem I and Photosystem II in spheroplasts from normal and photobleached Anabaena cylindrica showed an increase in Photosystem II activity relative to Photosystem I in photobleached cells. We suggest that the reasons for this modification in photochemical activity are, (i) a rearrangement of pigments between the two photosystems, and (ii) improved functional condition of the photosynthetic units in Photosystem II.Abbreviations PSI Photosystem I - PSII Photosystem II - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethyl-urea - MV methylviologen - DCPIP 1,6-dichlorphenol indophenol - DBMIB 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone - FeCN Ferricyanide - APC anophycocyanin - PC phycocyanin  相似文献

Summary The alga Bumilleriopsis filiformis Vischer (Xanthophyceae) was synchronized by light intensity combined with temperature changes. During the 48-h cell cycle there is a stage of low cellular photosynthetic activity in the 34th hour after start of the cycle and one of high activity between the 39th and 41th hour. These activities were compared with the p-benzoquinone mediated Hill reaction of non-homogenized cells and electron transport rates measured with carefully isolated chloroplast material. Ferricyanide and methylviologen reduction was tested with water as donor and photosystem I reactions with reduced dichloro-phenolindophenol and diaminodurene. The influence of superoxide dismutase and ascorbate was examined. The data show parallel changes in the activities of electron transport and cellular photosynthesis during cell development and indicate corresponding alteration not only in the activity of photosystem II but also in that of system I.

Summary Myosin in pollen tubes ofLilium longiflorum was partially purified, using an in vitro motility assay as a monitor. The main components in the partially purified preparation had molecular masses of 110, 120, and 140 kDa in SDS-PAGE. They became bound to actin filaments in an ATP-dependent manner. Among the components, only that of 120 kDa became bound to ATP and was concluded to be the heavy chain of pollen tube myosin.Abbreviations ATP adenosine-5-triphosphate - DTT dithiothreitol - EB extraction buffer - EGTA ethyleneglycol-bis-(-aminoethylether) N, N, N, N-tetraacetic acid - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - PIPES piperazine-N,N-bis-(2-ethanesulfonic acid) - PMSF phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride - SDS sodium dodecylsulfate - TBS Tris buffered saline - TEB Tris-EGTA buffer  相似文献

Selenate efflux from human placental brush border membrane vesicles was studied using an ion-exchange column assay. Selenate efflux was found to be mediated almost exclusively by a temperature dependent DIDS-sensitive pathway. Chromate markedly inhibited selenate efflux: in contrast medium selenate had no effect. It is concluded that selenate and sulphate share a common pathway for transport across the human placental microvillus membrane.Abbreviations DIDS 4-acetamido-4-isothiocyanostilbene-2-2-disulphonate  相似文献

Treatment of spheroplasts of Nostoc museorum with hypotonic buffer results in membranes depleted of cytochrome c-553, but still active in photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport. These membranes retain full photosystem II activity (H2ODADox). Complete linear electron transport (H2ONADP+), however, is decreased as compared with untreated spheroplasts. Addition of basic Nostoc cytochrome c-553 to depleted membranes reconstitutes NADP+ reduction and redox reactions of the photosystem I region as well.Using NADPH as electron donor, respiration of depleted membranes is also stimulated by adding cytochrome c-553, indicative of its function in respiratory electron transport.Cytochrome c-553 from Bumilleriopsis filiformis, Spirulina platensis (acidic types), Phormidium foveolarum (basic type), and mitochondrial horse-heart cytochrome c-550 are not effective in reconstituting both photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport, which points to a specific role of Nostoc cytochrome c-553.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - DAD 3,6-diaminodurene - DADox 3,6-diaminodurene oxidized by potassium ferricyanide - DBMIB 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DCIP 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol - DPC 1,5-diphenylcarbazide - Fd ferredoxin - HEPES N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid - MES 2(-N-morpholino)-ethanesulfonic acid - MV methylviologen (1,1-dimethyl-4,4-bipyridylium dichloride) - PS I photosystem I - PS II photosystem II - Tris tris-(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane  相似文献

The pH dependence of maximum chlorophyll fluorescence yield (Fm) was examined in spinach thylakoids in the presence of nigericin to dissipate the transthylakoid pH gradient. 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) was present to eliminate photochemical quenching. Thylakoids were prepared from dark adapted leaves (dark thylakoids) or preilluminated leaves (light thylakoids). In the latter there had been approximately 50% conversion of the xanthophyll violaxanthin to zeaxanthin, while no conversion had occurred in the former. In the presence of a reductant such as ascorbate, antimycin A sensitive quenching was observed (half maximal quenching at 5 M), whose pH dependence differed between the two types of thylakoid. Preillumination of leaves resulted in more quenching at pH values where very little quenching was observed in dark thylakoids (pH 5–7.6). This was similar to activation of high-energy-state quenching (qE) observed previously (Rees D, Young A, Noctor G, Britton G and Horton P (1989) FEBS Lett 256: 85–90). Thylakoids isolated from preilluminated DTT treated leaves, that contained no zeaxanthin, behaved like dark thylakoids. A second form of quenching was observed in the presence of ferricyanide, that could be reversed by the addition of ascorbate. This was not antimycin A sensitive and showed the same pH dependence in both types of thylakoid. The former type of quenching, but not the latter, showed similar low temperature fluorescence emission spectra to qE, and was considered to occur by the same mechanism.Abbreviations DCMU 3(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea - DTT dithiothreitol - EDTA Ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid - F0 dark level fluorescence yield - Fm maximum fluorescence yield - Fv/Fm ratio of variable to total fluorescence yield - Hepes 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)1-piperazineethanesul-phonic acid - Mes 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonate - pH transthylakoid pH gradient - PS I Photosystem I - PS II Photosystem II - QA primary stable electron acceptor of Photosystem II - qE high-energy-state fluorescence quenching  相似文献
