Nitratabhängige nichtcyclische Photophosphorylierung bei Ankistrodesmus braunii in Abwesenheit von CO2 und O2

Summary Manometric measurements show that oxygen evolution proceeds in synchronised cells of Ankistrodesmus braunii even in an atmosphere of pure nitrogen. In this case the slow oxygen evolution is dependent on the presence of nitrate (Table 1). Light saturation is found at a low light intensity at pH 5.6, at a higher light intensity at pH 8.0 (Fig. 1). The light saturation curves are in good agreement with those of ³²P-labelling in Ankistrodesmus under the same conditions (Fig. 2).DCMU inhibition in N₂ of both O₂-evolution and ³²P-labelling begins only at a DCMU concentration of 5×10^-7M or more. Complete inhibition of O₂-evolution is reached only at 10^-5M (Fig.3). In ³²P-labelling a variable percentage is still left uninhibited at 10^-5 M DCMU (Fig. 4, Table 2), which is at least partly due to cyclic photophsphorylation. Nitrate starvation for several hours causes a considerable decrease in O₂-evolution and also in the sensitivity to those high concentrations of DCMU (Fig. 5), but it leads to a sensitivity to antimycin A not observed under normal conditions (Table 3). The effects of nitrate starvation thus become comparable to those of far-red light, under which noncyclic electron transport is slow or completely prevented.The inhibition by DCMU of electron transport in photosystem II is also estimated by measuring the increase in fluorescence at 684 nm in air containing additional CO₂. This fluorescence is saturated only at 10^-5M DCMU and shows that a certain percentage of photosystem II remains uninhibited at 5×10^-7M (Fig. 6), a concentration found to be almost ineffective in inhibiting O₂-evolution and ³²P-labelling in an N₂-atmosphere.The results indicate that in synchronised cells of Ankistrodesmus noncyclic electron flow and noncyclic photophosphorylation can proceed in an atmosphere of pure nitrogen if nitrate is available as the electron acceptor. In this case noncyclic photophosphorylation, inspite of its low rates, still dominates over cyclic photphosphorylation. At low pH, when nitrate reduction is slow, cyclic photophosphorylation accounts for a greater part of the total phosphorylation than at high pH. Thus in the absence of CO₂ and O₂ cyclic photophosphorylation can be regarded as the main process of ATP formation only after nitrate starvation, in far-red light or in the presence of high concentrations of DCMU.Inhibition by DCMU, though very efficient under conditions of high photosynthetic activity, becomes rate-limiting only if the electron transport is so far reduced by DCMU that the remaining rate is of the same order as the low rate of the control or less. Therefore high concentrations of DCMU are required for the inhibition of low rates of noncyclic photophosphorylation.     

Über den Einfluß niedriger und hoher O2-Partialdrucke auf den Sauerstoff- und Kohlendioxidumsatz von Amaranthus und Phaseolus während der Lichtphase

Summary Carbon dioxide and oxygen gas exchange of illuminated Amaranthus and Phaseolus leaves was measured from 0–600 ppm of CO₂ in an open system.At low oxygen concentration (2% O₂) the ratio of CO₂ uptake to O₂ evolution came close to 1.At high oxygen partial pressure (42% O₂) the O₂ compensation point of an Amaranthus leaf was increased and oxygen evolution was depressed. Accordingly the CO₂/O₂ quotients were variable; the lowest value of 1,9 differed significantly from 1,0.The oxygen and carbon dioxide compensation points of a Phaseolus leaf were increased at high oxygen concentration (42% O₂) and oxygen evolution as well as carbon dioxide uptake were reduced. Therefore the ratios CO₂ over O₂ varied and differed greatly from 1,0.It was concluded that the nature of photosynthates is regulated by the gas composition around the leaves.     

Resonance Raman studies of the peroxotitanate(IV) complexes K2(Ti(O2)(SO4)2)·5H2O and K2(Ti(O2)(C2O4)2)·3H2O

The resonance Raman spectra of K₂(Ti(O₂)(SO₄)₂)·5H₂O and K₂(Ti(O₂)(C₂O₄)₂)·3H₂O are recorded. The results are consistent with the triangular structure of the peroxotitanium unit, Ti(O₂), with C_2ν symmetry. The ν(OO), ν_s(TiO) and ν_as(TiO) are observed around 890, 610 and 535 cm⁻¹, respectively. The resonance effects are shown to be associated with the 425 nm absorption band. This band is assigned to the O₂²⁻ → Ti(IV) charge-transfer transition. The calculated force constant values for the O₂²⁻ and TiO bonds are 320 and 275 N m⁻¹, respectively.     

Optical analysis of RE3+ (RE = Nd or Er):B2O3–P2O5–CaF2–ZnO–(Li2O/Na2O/K2O) glasses

Calcium boro fluoro zinc phosphate glasses modified using alkali oxide and doped with Nd³⁺ and Er³⁺ ions with the chemical composition of 69.5 (B₂O₃) + 10 (P₂O₅) + 10 (CaF₂) + 5 (ZnO) + 5 (Na₂O/Li₂O/K₂O) + 0.5 (Er₂O₃/Nd₂O₃) were prepared using a conventional melt quenching technique. The results of X-ray diffraction patterns indicated the amorphous nature of all the prepared glasses. The visible–near-infrared red (NIR) absorption spectra of these glasses were analyzed systematically. The NIR emission spectra of Er³⁺ and Nd³⁺:calcium boro fluoro zinc phosphate glasses showed prominent emission bands at 1536 nm (⁴I_13/2→⁴I_15/2) and 1069 nm (⁴F_3/2→⁴I_11/2) respectively with λ_exci = 514.5 nm (Ar⁺ laser) as the excitation source.     

Fe^2＋-H2O2体系降解壳聚糖

Fe2 -H2O2体系能够有效地降解壳聚糖,反应介质的pH值、反应时间、反应温度、Fe2 浓度及H2O2浓度等实验因素对壳聚糖的降解效果都有程度不同的影响,其中以反应介质的pH值和H2O2浓度对降解反应的影响为最大.在pH值为3～5时Fe2 -H2O2体系降解壳聚糖的活性最高.适当增大H2O2的用量可以增大壳聚糖的降解程度,但当其用量增大至一定程度后,壳聚糖降解产物分子量的下降趋势明显变缓.合理的Fe2 -H2O2体系降解壳聚糖的实验条件为:介质pH值3～5;温度,室温;时间60～90 min;壳聚糖:H2O2:Fe2 =240:12～24:1～2(摩尔比).     

Darstellung selektiv blockierter 2-azido-2-desoxy-D-gluco- und -D-galactopyranosylhalogenide: reaktivität und 13C-NMR-spektren

The synthesis of several 2-azido-2-deoxy-D-gluco- and -D-galactopyranosyl halides is described. With tetraethylammonium chloride, α-pyranosyl bromides react to give β-pyranosyl chlorides. This provides a facile method for obtaining selectively blocked halides for the synthesis of α-linked, amino sugar of oligosaccharides. The inversion reaction at the anomeric centre is shown to be of second order, corresponding to an SN2 mechanism. The rates of the inversion reactions were correlated to the ¹³C-n.m.r. data of C-1 of α-bromides. Within the gluco series, the ¹³C-n.m.r. shift of C-1 proves to be proportional to the natural logarithm of the rate constant. An analogous correlation in the galacto series could not be observed.

H2O2诱导Neuro—2a细胞死亡机理的研究

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as H2O2, can be produced by enzymes involved in electron leakage of respiration chain in mitochondria, and by neurochemical enzymes such as monoamine oxidase in neural cells. ROS are toxic to cells, and can result in cell death. ROS also play an important role in some diseases, especially in neurodegenerative diseases by yet unknown mechanisms. In the current research, the N-2a neuroblastoma cell was treated with H2O2, and the morphological changes of cell death were characterized. Our results show that N-2a cell death is different from classical apoptosis, but belongs type II nerve cell programmed death, which shows condensed chromatin within intact nuclear envelope and no apoptotic body. The chromatin DNA of dead cells shows no internucleosomal cleavage, as well as no requirement for caspase-3, 1 activity. However, the H2O2-induced N-2a cell death can be inhibited by Bcl-XL. It can be concluded that type II nerve cell death is the result of cell toxicity mediated by ROS. The results pave the way for further research of type II nerve cell death.     

Do the higher oxidation states of the photosynthetic O2-evolving system contain bound H2O?

A modified mass spectrometer was used to determine whether the higher oxidation states of the photosynthetic O2-evolving system contain substrate water that is not freely exchangeable with the external medium. Our data indicated that the higher oxidation states contain no appreciable bound, non-exchangeable H2O. This suggests that H2O oxidation takes place via a rapid, concerted, all-or-none mechanism rather than by a mechanism involving stable, partially oxidized, H2O-derived intermediates. These findings set definite constraints on possible mechanisms of O2 evolution.     

The effect of air containing O2 −,O2 +, CO2 − and CO2 + on the growth of seedlings ofHordeum Vulgaris

Equipment was devised which permitted the addition of specific gaseous ions to the atmosphere of plastic chambers in which seedlings of HORDEUM VULGARIS were grown in sand culture supplied with chemically defined nutrient solutions. Moderate densities of O₂ ^– or O₂ ⁺ ions (1.8×10⁴/cm³)in air containing an added 8% of O₂ accelerated the growth rate. A like number of CO₂ ^– or CO₂ ⁺ ions in air containing 8% of CO₂ inhibited growth, impeded the production of chlorophyll and devitalized the young seedlings. Evidence is presented that O₂ ^– and O₂ ⁺ stimulate the production of cytochromes and other Fe-containing enzymes through their action on the plant regulatory system responsible for the control of Fe metabolism. The toxic effect of CO₂ ^– and CO₂ ⁺ cannot be explained as yet.

Zusammenfassung Eine Apparatur wurde entwickelt, die die Zufuhr von ionisiertem Gas der AtmosphÄre in Kammern gestattet. Darin wurden Keimlinge von HORDEUM VULGARIS in Sand mit chemisch definierten NÄhrlösungen gezüchtet. Konzentrationen von 1,8×10⁴/cm³ O₂ ^– und O₂ ⁺ in Luft mit zusÄtzlich 8% O₂ beschleunigten die Wachstumsrate. Die gleiche Menge CO₂ ^– und CO₂ ⁺ in Luft mit zusÄtzlich 8% CO₂ hemmte die Wachstumsrate, die Bildung von Chlorophyll und entkrÄftigte die Keimlinge. Es wird gezeigt,dass O₂ ^– und O₂ ⁺ die Bildung von Cytochrom und anderen eisenhaltigen Enzymen anregen durcn ihre Wirkung auf das den Fe-Stoffwechsel regulierende System der Pflanze. Die toxische Wirkung von CO₂ ^– und CO₂ ⁺ lÄsst sich noch nicht erklÄren.

Resume On a construit un appareil permettant d'introduire dans 1'atmosphères des ions de gaz déterminés. On a alors effectué de telles adjonctions à l'air contenu dans des cellules de plastique dans lesquelles on cultivait HORDEUM VULGARIS sur du sable et dans une solution nutritive chimiquement définie. Des densités modérées d'ions O₂ ^– ou O₂ ⁺ (1,8×10⁴/cm³) dans de l'air additionné de 8% d'O₂ accélèrent la croissance. La meme concentration de CO₂ ^– et CO₂ ⁺ additionnée de 8% de CO₂ a ralenti la croissance et la formation de chlorophylle et a diminué la vitalite des plantes nouvellement germées. On démontre que O₂ ^– et O₂ ⁺ active la formation de cytochrome et d'autres enzymes ferreuses par suite de l'action de ces ions sur le système régularisant le métabolisme du fer dans la plante. L'effet toxique du CO₂ ^– et CO₂ ⁺ reste encore inexpliqué.

     

外源H2O2对小麦幼苗耐盐性的调节作用

以高原448小麦品种为材料,分别测定了4个处理(Hoagland营养液、Hoagland营养液 150 mmol/LNaCl、Hoagland营养液 150 mmol/L NaCl 10μmol/L H2O2和Hoagland营养液 10μmol/L H2O2)的小麦幼苗在第2、4、6、8天叶片叶绿素、丙二醛、可溶性糖和还原性谷胱甘肽含量.结果显示:外源H2O2提高了NaCl胁迫下4个时段小麦幼苗的叶绿素含量(8.27%、32.57%、10.19%、4.86%)及还原性谷胱甘肽含量(3.09%、23.97%、5.85%、2.11%),显著提高了可溶性糖含量(14.58%、8.43%、16.68%、5.8%,P<0.05),而显著降低了其丙二醛含量(17.53%、14.04%、4.75%、8.47%,P<0.05).外源H2O2(10μmol/L)使NaCl胁迫下叶绿素含量和还原性谷胱甘肽含量峰值提前,同时推迟了丙二醛峰值出现的时间.研究表明,外源H2O2通过提高叶片叶绿素、可溶性糖和还原性谷胱甘肽含量以有效地增强小麦幼苗的耐盐性.     

外源H2O2对水稻幼苗抗寒性的调节作用

在常温下用不同浓度的外源H2O2(0～20 mmol·L-1)预处理水稻幼苗,再进行12 h 6℃低温胁迫,根据幼苗相对含水量和质膜相对透性筛选最佳外源H2O2处理浓度,并分析最佳外源H2O2浓度下幼苗的渗透调节物质和活性氧相关指标的变化.结果表明:(1)0～8 mmol·L-1 H2O2预处理可以增加水稻幼苗的相对含水量,降低其质膜相对透性,并以4 mmol·L-1 H2O2的效果最佳.(2)低温胁迫后,与对照组相比,4 mmol·L-1外源H2O2预处理降低了水稻幼苗萎蔫程度,并使其总呼吸速率、交替途径容量都有增加,同时还抑制了丙二醛的含量,增加了可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质和脯氨酸的含量.(3)外源H2O2预处理对水稻幼苗的内源H2O2含量以及O(-)/(·)2产生速率没有显著影响.研究发现,外源H2O2可以通过提高呼吸速率、降低脂质过氧化程度、增加碳氮代谢来有效增强水稻幼苗的抗寒性,它可能以一种独立于内源活性氧系统之外的方式发挥作用.
