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 chlorophyll - SDS Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate - EDTA Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid - DTT Dithiothreitol  相似文献

The major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein (LHCP) of higher plant chloroplasts is a nuclearencoded, integral thylakoid membrane protein that binds photosynthetic pigments and occurs in situ in an oligomeric form. We have previously examined structural and functional domains of the mature apoprotein by use of mutant LHCPs and in vitro assays for uptake and insertion. Results presented here demonstrate the effects of several mutations in the amino terminal domain of the mature apoprotein. Deletion of amino acid residues 12–58 greatly affected import into chloroplasts, while deletion or alteration of the hydrophobic region E65VIHARWAM73 led to rapid degradation of the mutant LHCP. We suggest that this amino-proximal region is essential for the stability of the LHCP and its ability to integrate into the thylakoid membranes. A structural/functional relationship of this region to a previously examined hydrophobic carboxy-proximal domain [Kohorn and Tobin (1989), The Plant Cell 1, 159–166] is proposed.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin faction V - ELIPs early light-inducible proteins - Hepes 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid - LHCP light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein - LHC IIb light-harvesting complex associated with Photosystem II - pLHCP precursor to LHCP - Rubisco ribulose 1,5-biphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis  相似文献

A relative decrease of the high temperature part (above 60°C) of the chlorophyll fluorescence temperature curve during 3 h to 10 h greening period of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves was found to be concomitant to a decrease of Chl alb ratio and to a gradual increase of LHCP/core ratio found by electrophoresis and the ratio of granal to total length of thylakoid membranes. It is suggested that the high temperature part of the fluorescence temperature curve depends inversely on the relative amount of LHC II in thylakoid membranes.Abbreviations Chl a(b) chlorophyll a(b) - CPa chlorophyll a protein complex of PS II - CP1 P700 chlorophyll a protein complex of PS I - FP free pigments - FTC fluorescence temperature curve - F(T30) fluorescence intensity at 30°C - LHC II light harvesting complex II - LHCP light harvesting chlorophyll protein - LHCP3 (LHCPm) monomeric form of LHC II - LHCPo oligomeric form of LHC II complex - M1 first maximum of FTC - M2 second maximum (region) of FTC - PAA polyacrylamide - PAR photosynthetically active radiation - PS I(II) Photosystem I(II) - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis  相似文献

Solubilization of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) thylakoid membranes with sodium dodecylsulphate plus sodium deoxycholate with or without Triton X-100 and subsequent fractionation in the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis system described in this paper resulted: (1) in the resolution of the chlorophyll-proteins and chlorophyll-protein complexes commonly known as CP1a, CP1, LHCP1, LHCP2, CPa and LHCP3; (2) in the highly increased stability of CP1 and CP1a, as judged by their chlorophyll content, (3) at the expense of the free pigment concentration (4) which could be reduced to a negligible amount. Some 40% of the total chlorophyll contained in the mature higher plant thylakoid membrane is associated with CP1 and CP1 a and as already suggested before [19] no significant amount of free chlorophyll occurs in vivo.Abbreviations chl chlorophyll - CP1 P700-chla-protein - CPa P680-chla-protein - DOC sodium deoxychlolate - FC free chlorophyll - LHCP light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein - PAGE(S) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (system) - SDS sodium dodecylsulphate - TX-100 Triton X-100  相似文献

Pigment-protein-complexes of two chlorophyll b deficient mutants of Arabidopsis and from the wild type were separated electrophoretically. Light-harvesting proteins were absent in the chlorophyll b free mutant ch1 and their amount was reduced in the mutant ch2 which has a reduced content of chlorophyll b. The ratio of CPa:CP I increased with decreasing chlorophyll b content which indicated that the stoichiometry of photosystem II to photosystem I is not constant.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - CPa chlorophyll a-protein - CP I P-700 chlorophyll a-protein - LHCP light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - PAR photosynthetically active radiation - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate  相似文献

DER MECHANISMUS DER MALATHION-RESISTENZ BEI DER SCHMEISSFLIEGE CHRYSOMYA PUTORIA 1. Der zu dieser Untersuchung benutzte resistente Stamm von Chrysomya putoria stammt aus dem Kongo, wurde aber vorher etwa 6 Jahre lang im Labor gezüchtet. Frühere Untersuchungen ergaben, daß (1.) seine Resistenz hochspezifisch gegen Malathion und Malaoxon gerichtet ist, (2.) diese Resistenz durch nichtgiftige, dreifach substituierte Phosphor-Verbindungen überwunden werden kann, die als Malathion-Synergisten wirken, und (3.) diese Resistenz durch ein einzelnes, dominantes autosomales Gen vererbt wird. 2. Wenn der Stamm zu Homozygotie selektiert wurde, war er beträchtlich weniger fruchtbar als ein empfindlicher Schmeißfliegen-Stamm. Vergleichende Messung der Lebensdauer, Eiproduktion, Schlüpf-, Verpuppungs- und Puppenschlupfraten zeigte, daß der einzig deutliche Unterschied darin bestand, daß die Anzahl der täglich pro Weibchen produzierten Eier bei dem resistenten Stamm nur etwa halb so groß war wie die des anfälligen. 3. Durch Vergleich der entsprechenden LD 50-Werte der beiden Stämme wurde ein Resistenzspektrum für Malathion-Analoge erhalten und mit ähnlichen Spektren für Stubenfliegen und Mücken verglichen. Wie bei anderen Insekten wurde festgestellt, daß für die Resistenz die Alkyloxy-Gruppe im Malathion-Molekül entscheidend ist (höchste Resistenz mit Methoxy). Die Natur des Carboxy-Alkyl-Restes war relativ unwichtig. 4. Die Kutikula-Durchdringungsrate des Malathion war in den beiden Stämmen etwa die gleiche. 5. Der Malathion-Abbau durch den larvalen Fettkörper in vitro wurde gaschromatogra-phisch gemessen und im resistenten Stamm größer befunden. Dieses Verfahren war jedoch nicht ideal und alle weiteren Versuche wurden daher mit 14C-markiertem Malathion durchgeführt. 6. Abbauprodukte des Malathion, die von larvalem Fettgewebe in vitro entstanden, wurden durch Dünnschichtchromatographie getrennt. Die einzige festgestellte Verbindung entsprach dem Rf-Wert von Malathion-Monoacid. Die Anreicherung desselben entsprach dem Verlust an Malathion und war bei dem resistenten Stamm durchgehend größer. 7. Die symmetrischen, dreifach substituierten Phosphor-Verbindungen, welche sich in früheren Untersuchungen vorzugsweise in resistenten Stämmen als Synergisten von Malathion erwiesen hatten, wurden auf ihre Wirkung beim in vitro-Abbau von Malathion geprüft. Der Abbau wurde in beiden Stämmen bis auf einen Rest verhindert, der geringer war als der des nichtverhinderten empfindlichen Stammes. Andere Synergisten wurden ebenfalls, aber mit unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen erprobt; jedoch war keiner ebenso wirksam wie die der ursprünglichen Serien, die für Carboxyesterase-Hemmer gehalten werden. 8. Larvale Fettkörper wurden homogenisiert und durch Zentrifugieren in verschiedene Fraktionen getrennt. Maximaler Malathion-Abbau war nachweislich mit der Mikrosomen-Fraktion verbunden. 9. Eindringen und Abbau des Malathion wurden in vivo an erwachsenen Schmeißfliegen untersucht. Das Eindringen verlief beim resistenten Stamm etwas schneller, während dann im Inneren Malathion-Monoacid immer doppelt so hoch war wie Malathion. Das Umgekehrte galt für den empfindlichen Stamm. 10. Gewebe adulter Schmeißfliegen wurden homogenisiert und zentrifugiert (wie die larvalen Fettkörper) und wieder fand sich die maximale Aktivität in der Mikrosomen-Fraktion. 11. Die Eigenschaften der Esterasen beider Stämme wurden untersucht. Die Cholinesterase-Niveaus waren etwa gleich, aber die Ali-Esterase-Aktivität betrug in dem resistenten Stamm nur 10–20% der im empfindlichen gefundenen. 12. Homogenisierung und Zentrifugierung der Gewebe zeigten, daß die Ali-Esterase-Aktivität in der Mikrosomen-Fraktion lokalisiert ist. 13. Beide Stämme wurden gekreuzt. Die auf Resistenz ausgelesene Hybridnachkommenschaft hatte niedrigere Ali-Esterase-Spiegel. Paarungen innerhalb eines auf niedrigen Ali-Esterase-Gehalt ausgelesenen Hybridstammes ergaben eine hochresistente Nachkommenschaft.  相似文献

Triton X-100, a detergent commonly used to solubilize higher plant thylakoid membranes, was found to be deleterious to Dunaliella LHC II. It disrupted the transfer of excitation energy from chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a. Based on analysis of pigments and immunoassays of LHC II apoproteins from sucrose density gradient fractions, Triton X-100 caused aggregation of the complex, but apparently did not remove chlorophyll b from the apoprotein. Following solubilization with Triton X-100 only CPI could be resolved by electrophoresis. In contrast, solubilization of Dunaliella thylakoids with octyl--D-glucopyranoside preserved energy transfer from chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a. This detergent also effectively prevented aggregation on sucrose gradients and preserved CPI oligomers, as well as LHCP1 and LHCP3 on non-denaturing gels. Solubilization with Deriphat gave similar results. We propose that room temperature fluorescence excitation and emission spectroscopy be used in conjunction with other biophysical and biochemical probes to establish the effects of detergents on the integrity of light harvesting chlorophyll protein complexes. Methods used here may be applicable to other chlorophytes which prove refractory to protocols developed for higher plants.Abbreviations LHC II light harvesting chlorophyll protein complex associated with photosystem II - LHCP1 and LHCP3 monomeric and oligomeric forms of LHC II, respectively, observed on non-denaturing gels - LiDS lithium dodecylsulphate - PMSF phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride  相似文献

SDS-solubilized thylakoid membranes of Bryopsis maxima showeda similar pattern to those of higher plants in SDS-poIyacrylamidegel electrophoresis. Absorption spectra and pigment compositionof both CP1 and CPa bands were similar to those of higher plantsand other algae. Five bands containing chlorophyll (Chl) b weredivided into three categories; a group of major light-harvestingChl a/b-protein complexes (LHCP 1, LHCP 2 and LHCP 3), a minorLHCP (LHCP 3') and a photosystem I complex (CP1a). LHCP 1, thehigh molecular form, showed the lowest Chl a/b ratio among theLHCPs, and contained only xanthophylls as carotenoids. LHCP2, LHCP 3 and LHCP 3' bands contained xanthophylls and carotene.Carotenoid composition of LHCP 3' was different from that ofthe major LHCPs. CP1a band contained a considerable amount ofsiphonaxanthin and siphonein. (Received May 24, 1985; Accepted December 13, 1985)  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Für die spontane und von Phagen unabhängige Mutation von Phagenresistenz Phagensensibilität (1. Reversion) wurde bei Bac. megaterium M 30/C 1 Gl eine Mutationsrate von (4,93±0,17)·10–8 pro Bakterium und Bakterienzellteilung ermittelt. Da der Mutationsschritt zur Phagensensibilität mit einer Änderung des Koloniecharakters eng gekoppelt war, konnte die Anzahl der sensiblen Mutantenklone in resistenten Bakterienpopulationen (Kolonien) direkt bestimmt werden. Bei der Resistenzmutation sensibler Mutanten (2. Reversion) wurde festgestellt, daß an die Rückmutation zur Phagenresistenz nicht unbedingt die Wiederherstellung des morphologischen Merkmals der ursprünglich resistenten Bakterien gekoppelt sein muß.Herrn Professor Dr. Dr. h. c.

Chlorophyll-protein complexes (CPs) obtained from thylakoids of Euglena gracilis Klebs var bacillaris Cori contain the following polypeptides (listed in parentheses in order of prominence after Coomassie R-250 staining of polyacrylamide gels): CP Ia (66, 18, 22, 22.5, 27.5, 21, 28, 24, 25.5, and 26 kilodaltons [kD]); CP I (66 kD); CPx (41 kD); LHCP2 (an oligomer of LHCP) (26.5, 28, and 26 kD); CPy (27 and 19 kD); CPa (54 kD); and LHCP (26.5, 28, and 26 kD). Mutants of bacillaris low in chlorophyll b (Gr1BSL, G1BU, and O4BSL; Chl a/b [mol/mol] = 50-100) which lack CP Ia, LHCP2, and LHCP also lack or are deficient in polypeptides associated with these complexes in wild-type cells. Mutants G1 and O4, which also lack CPy, lack the CPy-associated polypeptides found in wild-type and Gr1. Using an antiserum which was elicited by and reacts strongly and selectively with the SDS-treated major polypeptide (26.5 kD) of the LHCP complexes of wild-type, this polypeptide is undetectable in the mutants (0.25% of the level in wild-type on a cell basis); the antiserum does not react with the SDS-treated 28 kD polypeptide of the Euglena LHCP complexes and cross-reacts only very weakly with components in SDS-treated cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Dangeard and chloroplasts of Spinacia oleracea L. cv Winter Bloomsdale. Rates of photosynthesis of the wild-type and mutant cells of Euglena are approximately equal on a cell basis when measured at light saturation, consistent with the selective loss of major antenna components but not CP I or CPa from the mutants.  相似文献

A barley gene encoding the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (LHCP) has been sequenced and then expressed in vitro to produce a labelled LHCP precursor (pLHCP). When barley etiochloroplasts are incubated with this pLHCP, both labelled pLHCP and LHCP are found as integral thylakoid membrane proteins, incorporated into the major pigment-protein complex of the thylakoids. The presence of pLHCP in thylakoids and its proportion with respect to labelled LHCP depends on the developmental stage of the plastids used to study the import of pLHCP. The reduced amounts of chlorophyll in a chlorophyll b-less mutant of barley does not affect the proportion of pLHCP to LHCP found in the thylakoids when import of pLHCP into plastids isolated from the mutant plants is examined. Therefore, insufficient chlorophyll during early stages of plastid development does not seem to be responsible for their relative inefficiency in assembling pLHCP. A chase of labelled pLHCP that has been incorporated into the thylakoids of intact plastids, by further incubation of the plastids with unlabelled pLHCP, reveals that the pLHCP incorporated into the thylakoids can be processed to its mature size. Our observations strongly support the hypothesis that after import into plastids, pLHCP is inserted into thylakoids and then processed to its mature size under in vivo conditions.  相似文献

The structure and heterogeneity of LHC II were studied by in vitro reconstitution of apoproteins with pigments (Plumley and Schmidt 1987, Proc Natl Acad Sci 84: 146–150). Reconstituted CP 2 complexes purified by LDS-PAGE were subsequently characterized and shown to have spectroscopic properties and pigment-protein compositions and stoichiometries similar to those of authentic complexes. Heterologous reconstitutions utilizing pigments and light-harvesting proteins from spinach, pea and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii reveal no evidence of specialized binding sites for the unique C. reinhardtii xanthophyll loroxanthin: lutein and loroxanthin are interchangeable for in vitro reconstitution. Proteins modified by the presence of a transit peptide, phosphorylation, or proteolytic removal of the NH2-terminus could be reconstituted. Evidence suggests that post-translational modification are not responsible for the presence of six electrophoretic variants of C. reinhardtii CP 2. Reconstitution is blocked by iodoacetamide pre-treatment of the apoproteins suggesting a role for cysteine in pigment ligation and/or proper folding of the pigment-protein complex. Finally, no effect of divalent cations on pigment reassembly could be detected.Abbreviations cab chlorophyll a/b-binding protein genes - Chl chlorophyll - CP2 light-harvesting chlorophyll A+b-protein complex fractionated by mildly denaturing LDS-PAGE from Photosystem II in thylakoids - CP 43 and CP 47 chlorophyll a-antenna complexes fractionated from Photosystem II in thylakoids by mildly denaturing LDS-PAGE at 4°C - IgG gamma immunoglobulin - LDS lithium dodecyl sulfate - LDS-PAGE lithium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 4°C - LHC I and LHC II thylakoid light-harvesting chlorophyll a+b-protein holocomplexes associated with Photosystems I and II, respectively - PS II Photosystem II - TX100 Triton X-100 - TX100-derived LHC light-harvesting complexes enriched in LHC II following fractionation of thylakoids by TX100  相似文献

Zusammenfassung An der Gametenverschmelzung bei der heterothallischen, isogamen Grünalge Chlamydomonas reinhardii ist, wie an der Befruchtung bei höheren Organismen, ein lytischer Faktor beteiligt. Während des Kontaktes von und Gameten oder während einer, Isoagglutination von Gameten des einen Paarungstyps mit den isolierten Geißeln vom entgegengesetzten Paarungstyp wurde ein hitzelabiler, lytischer Faktor ins Nährmedium abgegeben. Auch Extrakte aus vegetativen und generativen Zellen von C. reinhardii enthielten lytische Aktivität. Unter der Einwirkung des extrahierten oder des sekretierten Autolysins fand eine partielle Lyse der Zellwände von Gameten und Zoosporen statt, die mit der Freisetzung von Protoplasten verbunden war. Die Präparate mit lytischer Aktivität lösten außerdem die Wände der Zoosporangien von C. reinhardii vollständig auf und setzten dabei Zoosporen frei.
Autolysis of the cell wall from the gametes of Chlamydomonas reinhardii
Summary As in fertilization of higher organisms a lytic factor is involved in the mating reaction of the heterothallic isogamous green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii. Lytic activity was found in the medium after copulation of and gametes, after isoaggllutination of gametes with isolated flagella, and of gametes with isolated flagella. A lytic factor could also be extracted from vegetative and generative cells of C. reinhardii. Partial lysis of cell walls from vegetative or generative cells accompanied by the release of protoplasts, and complete lysis of the walls from zoosporangia followed by the release of zoospores, were observed in the presence of the autolysin secreted by gametes under the above mentioned conditions or extracted from vegetative and generative cells.

The effect of light on the biosynthesis of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHCP) is investigated in wild-type barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and in the chlorophyll b-less mutant chlorina f2. In dark-grown plants a short red light pulse triggers the appearance of mRNA activity for the LHCP. While the accumulation of this mRNA is controlled by phytochrome (Apel (1979) Eur. J. Biochem. 97, 183–188), the red light treatment is not sufficient to induce the appearance of the LHCP within the membrane. Thus, at least one of the subsequent steps in the biosynthetic pathway leading to the assembly of the LHCP is controlled by light. The red light-induced mRNA is taken up into the polysomes during the subsequent dark period and is translated in vitro in a cell-free protein synthesizing system. However, an accumulation of the freshly synthesized polypeptide within the plant is not observed. The apparent instability of the polypeptide might be explained by the deficiency of chlorophyll in the red light-treated plants. In the chlorophyll b-less barley mutant chlorina f2 an accumulation of the freshly synthesized apoprotein of the LHCP can be observed in the light. Thus, chlorophyll a formation seems to be a light-dependent step which is required for the stabilization of the LHCP.Abbreviations mRNA messenger RNA - EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid - SDS sodium dodecylsulfate - LHCP light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein  相似文献

The influence of kinetin during the development of primary leaves of Sinapis alba was investigated. Kinetin treatment (6 ppm) induced an increase of dry weight, of soluble reducing sugars, soluble protein, chlorophylls, carotenoids and cytochrome f; a higher ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b, higher rates of CO2 fixation per fresh weight and higher activity of nitrite reductase, were also found. These effects are comparable with strong and blue light adaptations. On the other hand, the Hill activity with ferricyanide as the electron acceptor, the rates of CO2 fixation per chlorophyll, the ratios of chlorophyll to cytochrome f and of protein to chlorophyll did not change. Therefore we assume that the kinetin induced and the light induced adaptations are brought about by different causal reaction chains.
Zusammenfassung Es wurde die Wirkung von Kinetin auf die Entwicklung von Primarblattern von Senfpflanzen untersucht. Die Behandlung mit Kinetin (6 ppm) bewirkte eine Erhöhung des Trochengewichtes, der Gehalte an löslichen, reduzierend wirkenden Zuckern, an löslichem Protein, Chlorophyllen, Karotinoiden und Cytochrom f, sowie eine Erhöhung des Quotienten von Chlorophyll a zu Chlorophyll b, eine verstärkten Einbau von CO2 pro Frischgewicht und eine Erhöhung der Nitritreduktase-Aktivität. Diese Auswirkungen sind den durch Starklicht und Blaulicht hervorgerufenen Anpassungsreaktionen vergleichbar. Andererseits zeigten die Hill-Reaktion (gemessen als Reduktion von Ferricyanid), die CO2 Fixierung pro Chlorophyll, der Quotient von Chlorophyll zu Cytochrom f und der Quotient von Protein zu Chlorophyll keire Veränderungen. Dies weist darauf hin, daß die durch Kinetin und durch Licht hervorgerufenen Anpassungsreaktionen durch verschiedene Kausalketten bedingt werden.

In this paper we compared the pigment composition, photochemical activity, chloroplast ultrastructure, thylakoid membrane polypeptide composition and ribosomal content of wild-type and seven light-sensitive mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardii.All the mutants had low chlorophyll and carotenoid content compared to wild-type. Mutants lts-30 and lts-135 were also characterized by a complete absence of visible carotenoids, while mutant lts-19 was fully deficient in chlorophylls.In most mutants, the chloroplast fragment could not carry out any DCIP photoreduction and O2 evolution was also blocked. The PSI/P700/activity was decreased in most cases.The mutant strains contained mostly single lamellae in their plastids, that is the stacking capacity of the thylakoid membranes was very decreased or fully absent. In most cases the number of lamellae was also very low.The relative amounts of 70 S ribosomes were decreased in all of the mutants. The thylakoid membranes showed anomalies in the region of 24 000–30 000 dalton polypeptides. The common characteristic for them was the relatively higher amount of the 30 000 dalton polypeptide and considerably decreased level of the 27 000 and 24 000 dalton polypeptides relative to the wild-type. These polypeptides were probably constituents of the chlorophyll-protein complex II which has been suggested to be the light harvesting pigment complex for PSII. The polypeptide of 30 000 daltons is the precursor for the LHCP apoprotein (24 000 dalton protein). It may be that the lighstimulated conversion of this precursor into LHCP apoprotein was blocked in our pigment-deficient mutants.Abbreviations CPI Chlorophyll-protein complex I - PSI Photosystem I - PSII Photosystem II - LHCP Light-harvesting pigment complex - DCIP 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol - RuDPC-ase Ribulose-1,5-biphosphate-carboxylase - SDS Sodium dodecyl sulfate - LIDS Lithium dodecyl sulfate - PAG Polyacrylamide gel - TKM buffer 25 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.S; 25 mM KCl; 25 mM Mg acetate  相似文献

The influence of indole-3-acetic-acid (IAA) during the development of primary leaves of Sinapis alba was studied. IAA treatment (4 ppm 22.8 M) caused a decrease of dry weight, soluble reducing sugars, soluble protein, chlorophylls, carotenoids and cytochrome f; it also caused a lower ratio of protein to chlorophyll, a lower ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b and a higher ratio of chlorophyll per cytochrome f. Furthermore, IAA treatment induced a significantly lower rate of CO2 fixation and a depressed nitrite reductase activity. Similar effects could also be observed in adaptation reactions brought about by red light and low-light (or shade) conditions.
Zusammenfassung Der Einfluß von Auxin (IES) auf die Entwicklung der Primärblätter von Senfpflanzen wurde untersucht. Die Behandlung mit IES (4 ppm 22.8 M) führte zu einer Erniedrigung des Trockengewichtes, der Gehalte an löslichen, reduzierend wirkenden Zuckern, an löslichem Protein, Chlorophyllen, Karotinoiden und Cytochrom f. Außerdem wurden die Quotienten von Protein zu Chlorophyll und von Chlorophyll a zu Chlorophyll b gesenkt und es kam zu einer Erhöhung des Verhältnisses von Chlorophyll zu Cytochrom f. Darüberhinaus bewirkte die Behandlung mit IES eine deutliche Abnahme der CO2-Fixierungsrate und eine Verringerung der Nitritreduktase-Aktivität. Diese Effekte stimmen gut mit Anpassungsreaktionen überein, die durch Rotlicht oder Schwachlicht hervorgerufen werden.

An improved procedure for the isolation of the cytochromeb 6/f complex from spinach chloroplasts is reported. With this preparation up to tenfold higher plastoquinol-plastocyanin oxidoreductase activities were observed. Like the complex obtained by our previous procedure, the complex prepared by the modified way consisted of five polypeptides with apparent molecular masses of 34, 33, 23, 20, and 17 kD, which we call Ia, Ib, II, III, and IV, respectively. In addition, one to three small components with molecular masses below 6 kD were now found to be present. These polypeptides can be extracted with acidic acetone. Cytochromef, cytochromeb 6, and the Rieske Fe-S protein could be purified from the isolated complex and were shown to be represented by subunits Ia + Ib, II, and III, respectively. The heterogeneity of cytochromef is not understood at present. Estimations of the stoichiometry derived from relative staining intensities with Coomassie blue and amido black gave 1:1:1:1 for the subunits Ia + Ib/II/III/IV, which is interesting in of the presence of two cytochromesb 6 per cytochromef. Cytochromef titrated as a single-electron acceptor with a pH-independent midpoint potential of +339 mV between pH 6.5 and 8.3, while cytochromeb 6 was heterogeneous. With the assumption of two components present in equal amounts, two one-electron transitions withE m(1)=–40 mV andE m(2)=–172 at pH 6.5 were derived. Both midpoint potentials were pH-dependent.Abbreviation Tris tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane - SDS sodium dodecylsulfate - SDS-PAGE SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - MES 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid  相似文献

LHC II isolated from carnation leaves has been solubilized and resolved by a newly developed, vertical-bed non-denaturing isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide slab gels to yield three trimeric subcomplexes focusing at pH 4.52, 4.42 and 4.37 (designated a, b and c, respectively), comprising approximately 38%, 24% and 38% of the chlorophyll. The spectroscopic data demonstrated a close similarity among LHC II subcomplexes concerning their chlorophyll content and organization. The most alkaline and the most acidic subcomplex contained the 27 kDa polypeptide of LHC II while the intermediate pI fraction contained both LHC II polypeptides, i.e. 27 kDa and 26 kDa ones associated at 2:1 stoichiometry. The 27 kDa polypeptide could be resolved by denaturing isoelectrofocusing into 10 pI molecular isoforms covering 5.90–4.20 pH range. Three of the isoforms were found in the subcomplexes a and b and eight in the subcomplex c. The 26 kDa polypeptide comprised the unique pI molecular isoform focusing at pH 5.61.Abbreviations CBB G-250 Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 - chl chlorophyll - DM n-dodecyl--d-maltoside - EDTA ethylendiaminotetraacetic acid - IEF isoelectric focusing - LHC II the main light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of Photosystem II - LHCP II apoprotein of the main light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-protein complex of Photosystem II - NP-40 polyethyleneglycol-p-isooctylphenyl ether - pI isoelectric point - OG octyl--d-glucopyranoside - PS II Photosystem II - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - TCA trichlorooacetic acid  相似文献
