The biogenetic interdependence of light-harvesting chlorophyll (Chl) a/b proteins (LHCPs) and antenna pigments has been analyzed for two nuclear mutants of Chlamydomonas that have low levels of Chl b, neoxanthin, and loroxanthin. In mutant PA2.1, the apoprotein precursors (pLHCP II) of the major light-harvesting complex LHC II were synthesized at approximately wild-type rates, processed to their mature size, and rapidly degraded. Because the bulk of labile LHCP II in PA2.1 was soluble, a thylakoid integration factor apparently is defective in this strain. Chl a, Chl b, neoxanthin, and loroxanthin synthesis and accumulation were coordinately reduced in PA2.1, indicating that LHCP II play important regulatory or substrate roles in de novo synthesis of these pigments. Mutant GE2.27 is impaired principally in Chl b synthesis but nonetheless accumulated wild-type levels of all LHCPs. Topology studies of the GE2.27 LHCP II demonstrated that their insertion into thylakoids was incomplete even though they were not structurally altered. Thus, Chl b formation mediates conformational changes of LHCP II after thylakoid integration is initiated. GE2.27 also exhibited very low rates of neoxanthin synthesis and was unable to accumulate loroxanthin. Revertant GE2.27 strains with varying capacities for Chl b formation provided additional evidence that neoxanthin synthesis and accumulation are coupled with the final steps of LHCP II integration into thylakoids. We propose that biogenesis of LHC includes interdependent pigment synthesis/assembly events that occur during LHCP integration into the thylakoid membrane and that defects in these events account for the pleiotropic characteristics of many Chl b-deficient mutants.  相似文献

Summary cDNAs encoding three different LHC I polypeptides (Type I, Type II and Type III) from the gymnosperm Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were isolated and sequenced. Comparisons of the deduced amino acid sequences with the corresponding tomato sequences showed that all three proteins were highly conserved although less so than the LHC II proteins. The similarities between mature Scots pine and tomato Types I, II and III LHC I proteins were 80%, 87% and 85%, respectively. Two of the five His residues that are found in AXXXH sequences, which have been identified as putative chlorophyll ligands in the Type I and Type II proteins, were not conserved. The same two regions of high homology between the different LHC proteins, which have been identified in tomato, were also found in the Scots pine proteins. Within the conserved regions, the Type I and Type II proteins had the highest similarity; however, the Type II and Type III proteins also showed a similarity in the central region. The results suggest that all flowering plants (gymnosperms and angiosperms) probably have the same set of LHC polypeptides. A new nomenclature for the genes encoding LHC polypeptides (formerly cab genes) is proposed. The names lha and lhb are suggested for genes encoding LHC I and LHC II proteins, respectively, analogous to the nomenclature for the genes encoding other photosynthetic proteins.  相似文献

The apoprotein of the major light harvesting pigment-protein complex from the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum (UTEX 646) is composed of two similar polypeptides of 17.5 and 18.0 kilodaltons (kD). The in vivo synthesis of these polypeptides is inhibited by the 80s protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide, but not by the 70s ribosome inhibitor chloramphenicol. When total poly(A)+ RNA was used in in vitro protein synthesis, a number of polypeptides were synthesized with a dominant product at 22 kD. When the polypeptides were immunoprecipitated with monospecific antibodies to the 17.5 and 18.0 polypeptides, a single protein zone of 22 kD was detected. Immunoprecipitation with preimmune serum failed to precipitate detectable levels of protein at any relative molecular weight (Mr). These findings indicate that the two apoprotein polypeptides of the diatom light harvesting pigment-protein are translated from polyadenylated message on cytoplasmic ribosomes as either a single or two (or more) similar Mr precursor proteins. These findings also suggest that this protein is encoded in the nucleus.

Photosynthetic light adaptation features of P. tricornutum UTEX 646 indicate that it responds to low light by increasing cell size and numbers of photosystem I and II reaction centers per cell, but does not change photosynthetic rate per cell or photosynthetic unit sizes significantly. When low light cells are exposed to higher photon flux densities, the in vivo incorporation of label into the apoprotein of the light harvesting complex decreases. In contrast, high light grown cells show rapid (<3 hour) increases in apoprotein synthesis when exposed to low light levels. This is the first demonstration of a specific role of photon flux density in regulating the synthesis of a major light harvesting pigment-protein during photosynthetic light adaptation.

Isolated chloroplasts of Acetabularia incorporate radioactive amino acids into more than 30 polypeptides in the light, including the apoprotein of the P700-chlorophyll a protein complex, the reaction centre core of photosystem I [Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 609. 107-120 (1980)]. In this paper it is shown that the apoproteins of the two minor chlorophyll a complexes, thought to be part of photosystem II reaction centre core, are also synthesized by isolated chloroplasts. Furthermore, they are integrated correctly into the thylakoid membrane in the absence of any cytoplasmic contribution, such that they can be isolated as chlorophyll-protein complexes indistinguishable from those already in the membrane. In contrast, the minor chlorophyll a + b complex 'CP 29' [Camm, E. L. and Green, B. R. (1980) Plant Physiol. 66, 428-432] and its dimers are not synthesized by isolated chloroplasts. In this they resemble the other chlorophyll a + b complex, the light-harvesting complex (LHC). It may be significant that the LHC, which is not essential for photosynthetic activity, is under nuclear control, while the reaction centre polypeptides, cytochrome b559, and cytochrome f, are synthesized on chloroplast ribosomes.  相似文献

The photosynthetic performance of developing spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) needles was investigated. As revealed by previous reports, the biosynthesis of chlorophylls and carotenoids was not following the characteristic chloroplast ultrastructure building up during needle elongation process. The aim of our study was to investigate photosynthetic capability (evaluated by oxygen evolution and chlorophyll a fluorescence kinetics measurements), the dynamics of chloroplast pigments biosynthesis and the expression of major photosynthetic proteins as well as to find out possible correlation between components of issue. Low amounts of chlorophylls and carotenoids, LHC II and Rubisco LSU were detected in the embryonic shoot of vegetative buds. Although PS II was functional, oxygen production was not sufficient to compensate for respiration in the same developmental stage. The light compensation point of respiration was successively lowered during the needle elongation. Nevertheless the significant increase in photosynthetic pigments as well as the high level of expression of LHC II and Rubisco LSU proteins was observed in the later stages of needle development. Our results suggest that, besides light, some other environmental factors could be critical for producing fully functional chloroplasts in rapidly growing young needles.  相似文献

In higher plants the light energy is captured by the photosynthetic pigments that are bound to photosystem I and II and their light-harvesting complex (LHC) subunits. In this study, we examined the photodynamic changes within chlorophyll-protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves adapted to low light and subsequently exposed to light stress. Chlorophyll-protein complexes were isolated using sucrose density gradient centrifugation and blue-native polyacrylamid gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE). Proteome analysis was performed using SDS-PAGE, HPLC and high resolution mass spectrometry. We identified several rarely expressed and stress-induced chlorophyll-binding proteins, showed changes in localization of early light-induced protein family and LHC protein family members between different photosynthetic complexes and assembled/disassembled subcomplexes under light stress conditions and discuss their role in a variety of light stress-related processes.  相似文献

The 20 kDa polypeptide, the apoprotein of the chlorophyll a/b antenna complex CP24 associated with photosystem II, is a remote relative of light-harvesting complex (LHC) apoproteins and thus a member of the extended cab gene family. LHC apoproteins are poly-topic integral components of the thylakoid membrane with probably three transmembrane segments which originate in nuclear genes and are made in the cytosol as precursors. They possess exclusively stroma-targeting transit peptides for import into the organelle and integrate into the thylakoid membrane via uncleaved hydrophobic domains of the mature protein. The CP24 apoprotein displays intriguing structural differences to LHC apoproteins with a potential impact on the routing and targeting processes during biogenesis. In particular, it lacks a pronounced second hydrophobic segment in the mature polypeptide chain found in LHCPs, and carries a transit peptide that is reminiscent of thylakoid-targeting transit peptides. We have used in organello assays with isolated intact chloroplasts and the authentic precursor of the 20 kDa apoprotein from spinach, or appropriate chimaeric polypeptides consisting of a transit peptide and the mature part of various nuclear-encoded thylakoid proteins of known location and targeting epitopes, in order to resolve the characteristics of its targeting properties, as well as to determine the contribution of the individual parts of the precursor molecule to its import and subsequent intra-organellar routing. Our experiments demonstrate that the transit peptide of the CP24 apoprotein is required only for the import of the protein into the organelle. All subsequent steps, such as the integration of the protein into the thylakoid membrane, binding of chlorophyll, assembly into the CP24 complex and migration to the grana lamellae, still take place if the authentic transit peptide is replaced by a targeting signal of a nuclear-encoded stromal protein.  相似文献

Iron plays a key role in the synthesis and functioning of the photosynthetic apparatus. Conditions of partial iron deficiency that lead to a relatively stable phenotype were established and the effects of starvation studied in the unicellular red alga, Rhodella violacea. Synthesis of the photosynthetic pigments were found to decrease, with phycobiliproteins being affected to a lesser extent than chlorophyll a. Biophysical, biochemical and immunological approaches were used to show that the PSI content is highly diminished and the PSII/PSI stoichiometry increased by a factor of 5 compared to standard conditions. Meanwhile light-harvesting complex (LHC) was still assembled in the thylakoid membranes at unchanged levels. The use of translation inhibitors for either nuclear- or plastid-encoded polypeptides revealed that uncoupled LHC may be responsible for the high wavelength-fluorescence contribution observed around 700-710 nm. There is no evidence for the synthesis of new chlorophyll-protein complexes.  相似文献

The effect of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on the amount of various Photosystem (PS) II subunits has been studied in the thalloid liverwort Conocephalum conicum. UV-B irradiation led to a drastic decrease of the reaction center proteins D1 and D2 and the outer light harvesting antenna (LHC II). A minor reduction was found in the levels of the CP 43 polypeptide of the inner antenna and the 33, 23 and 16 kDa extrinsic polypeptides of PS II. During UV-B irradiation, the extrinsic polypeptides accumulated in the soluble protein fraction, but D1 and D2 were not dedectable. Streptomycin, but not cycloheximide inhibited the repair process of PS II, indicating that only protein synthesis in the chloroplast is necessary for recovery. This indicates that the extrinsic proteins of PS II dissociate from the membrane during UV-B treatment and reassociate with PS II in the course of the repair process. We conclude that the reaction center core is a target of UV-B radiation in C. concicum. The extrinsic proteins of PS II are not directly affected by UV-B, but their release is the consequence of UV-B-induced degradation of the D1 and D2 proteins.  相似文献

Ultrastructural features and immunological properties of some thylakoid proteins were examined in two strains of the prochlorophyte Prochlorococcus and compared to those of other photosynthetic prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Both strains exhibited two or three rows of tightly appressed thylakoidal membranes, located at the cell periphery. However, thylakoids were concentrically arranged in the strain from the Sargasso Sea (SARG) and horseshoe-shaped in the Mediterranean isolate (CCMP 1378). Although lacking phycobilisomes, both cell types shared with cyanobacteria the presence of carboxysome-like structures and glycogen granules as storage compounds. The main thylakoid polypeptides separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate—polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were characterized by Western blotting using several antibodies. The 30-kDa polypeptide of the light-harvesting complex (LHC) of Prochlorococcus showed a weak positive immunological cross-reaction with an antibody raised against the 32-kDa apoprotein of the LHC of the prochlorophyte Prochlorothrix hollandica. In contrast, it showed no immunological relationships with the chlorophyll a/b (Chl a/b) LHCs of green algae and higher plants. Protein membranes from Prochlorococcus strongly cross-reacted with antibodies raised against reaction center polypeptides of photosystems II and I (PSs II and I) of other photosynthetic organisms, confirming the high degree of conservation of these basic compounds of the photosynthetic machinery during evolution. Immunolocalization of thylakoid proteins showed that the LHC proteins, the major PS II reaction center proteins (CP 43 and D2), and the PS I reaction center proteins were equally distributed within the thylakoid membranes in contrast to the segregation observed in higher plants and green alga thylakoids. We also identified ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase in the carboxysomes. These results suggest that Prochlorococcus is more closely related to cyanobacteria than to green plastids even though it contains Chl b.  相似文献

Phosphorylation of thylakoid membrane proteins in the chloroplast of wild-type and mutant strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi has been studied in vivo and in vitro. Intact cells or purified membranes were labeled with [32P]orthophosphate or [gamma-32P]ATP, respectively, and the presence of phosphorylated polypeptides was detected by autoradiography after membrane fractionation by SDS PAGE. The 32P was esterified to serine and threonine residues. At least six polypeptides were phosphorylated in vitro and in vivo, and corresponded to components of the photosystem II complex contributing to the formation of the light-harvesting-chlorophyll (LHC) a,b-protein complex, the DCMU binding site (32-35 kdaltons), and the reaction center (26 kdaltons). In agreement with previous reports (Alfonzo, et al., 1979, Plant Physiol., 65:730-734; and Bennett, 1979, FEBS (Fed. Eur. Biochem. Soc.) Lett., 103:342-344), the membrane-bound protein kinase was markedly stimulated by light in vitro via a mechanism requiring photosystem II activity. Phosphorylation of thylakoid membrane polypeptides in vivo was, however, completely independent of illumination. Similar amounts of phosphate were incorporated into the photosynthetic membranes of cells incubated in the dark, in white light with or without 3-(3,4- dichlorophenyl-1,1-dimethyl urea (DCMU), or in red or far-red light. Different turnovers of the phosphate were observed in the light and dark, and a phosphoprotein phosphatase involved in this turnover process was also associated with the membrane. Comparison of the amount of esterified phosphate per protein in vivo and the maximum incorporation in isolated membranes revealed that only a small fraction of the available sites could be phosphorylated in vitro. In contrast to the DCMU binding site, the LHC and 26-kdalton polypeptide were not phosphorylated in vivo when the reaction center II polypeptides of 44- 54 kdaltons were missing. The finding that all the phosphoproteins appear to be components of the photosystem II complex and are only partially dephosphorylated in vivo suggests strongly that protein phosphorylation might play an important role in the maintenance of the organizational integrity of this complex. The observation that the LHC is not phosphorylated in the absence of the reaction center lends support to this idea.  相似文献

The kinetics of synthesis and incorporation of the photosynthetic pigments and several of the major oxidative and photosynthetic electron transport components of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides have been studied during synchronous and asynchronous phototrophic growth. The photosynthetic pigments and cytochromes c and b, measured spectroscopically, exhibited continuous patterns of synthesis and incorporation into the membrane particulate fraction in both synchronous and asynchronous cultures. Succinic dehydrogenase and NADH-oxidase activities, present at low levelnous growth. In a previous paper, Leuking, D.R., Fraley, R.T., and Kaplan, S. ((1978) J. Biol. Chem. 253, 451-457) have shown that total cellular phospholipid is also accumulated discontinuously during synchronous growth. A continuously incorporated membrane component is thus subject to a wide variation in the membrane protein/lipid ratio. The significance of this ratio in regulating the activity of membrane proteins is discussed and the distinction between protein incorporation and function is drawn with particular reference to the photosynthetic pigments and cytochrome components and the oxidative activities measured. It is suggested that a dependence of membrane protein activity on the membrane protein to lipid ratio in vivo is of possible significance in the control of membrane synthesis and cell division.  相似文献

The light-induced assembly of light-harvesting complex (LHC) II has been followed during the biogenesis of the plastid. Seedlings grown in intermittent light (IML) accumulate only small amounts of chlorophyll b. The minor LHC II apoproteins are present; however, the apoprotein levels of the major LHC II complex, LHC IIb, are severely depressed after exposure to IML. The levels of all LHC II apoproteins increase rapidly upon exposure to continuous illumination. The 25-kD, type 3 LHC IIb subunit appears to be more abundant during the early hours of greening in relation to its level in mature thylakoids. The LHC IIb apoproteins are initially associated with pigments to form monomeric pigment-protein complexes. The abundance of monomeric LHC IIb complexes gradually decreases during exposure to continuous light and a concomitant increase occurs in the amount of the trimeric and higher-order oligomeric forms. Pulse-chase experiments verify that labeled LHC IIb monomeric complexes are intermediates in the formation of trimeric and higher-order oligomeric LHC IIb-pigmented complexes. Therefore, the assembly of LHC II occurs via the initial pigmentation of the apoproteins to form monomeric complexes and proceeds in a sequential manner.  相似文献

The carotenoid zeaxanthin has been implicated in a nonradiative dissipation of excess excitation energy. To determine its site of action, we have examined the location of zeaxanthin within the thylakoid membrane components. Five pigment-protein complexes were isolated with little loss of pigments: photosystem I (PSI); core complex (CC) I, the core of PSI; CC II, the core of photosystem II (PSII); light-harvesting complex (LHC) IIb, a trimer of the major light-harvesting protein of PSII; and LHC IIa, c, and d, a complex of the monomeric minor light-harvesting proteins of PSII. Zeaxanthin was found predominantly in the LHC complexes. Lesser amounts were present in the CCs possibly because these contained some extraneous LHC polypeptides. The LHC IIb trimer and the monomeric LHC II a, c, and d pigment-proteins from dark-adapted plants each contained, in addition to lutein and neoxanthin, one violaxanthin molecule but little antheraxanthin and no zeaxanthin. Following illumination, each complex had a reduced violaxanthin content, but now more antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin were present. PSI had little or no neoxanthin. The pigment content of LHC I was deduced by subtracting the pigment content of CC I from that of PSI. Our best estimate for the carotenoid content of a LHC IIb trimer from dark-adapted plants is one violaxanthin, two neoxanthins, six luteins, and 0.03 mol of antheraxanthin per mol trimer. The xanthophyll cycle occurs mainly or exclusively within the light-harvesting antennae of both photosystems.  相似文献

During a transition from high growth irradiance (700 micromoles quanta per square meter per second) to low growth irradiance (70 micromoles quanta per square meter per second), the unicellular marine chlorophyte Dunaliella tertiolecta Butcher increases the cellular pool size of the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHC II). We showed that the increase in LHC II apoproteins and in chlorophyll content per cell is preceded by an approximately fourfold increase in cab mRNA. The increase in cab mRNA is detectable within 1.5 hours following a shift from high to low light intensity. An increase in the relative abundance of cab mRNA was also found following a shift from high light to darkness and from high light to low light in the presence of gabaculine, a chlorophyll synthesis inhibitor. However, the LHC II apoproteins did not accumulate in the latter experiments, suggesting that LHC II apoprotein synthesis is coupled to chlorophyll synthesis at or beyond translation. We propose that changes in energy balance brought about by a change in light intensity may control a regulatory factor acting to repress cab mRNA expression in high light.  相似文献

The biochemical isolation of pure and active proteins or chlorophyll protein complexes has been crucial for elucidating the mechanism of photosynthetic energy conversion. Most of the proteins involved in this process are embedded in the photosynthetic membrane. The isolation of such hydrophobic integral membrane proteins is not trivial, and involves the use of detergents often combined with various time-consuming isolation procedures. We have applied the new procedure of perfusion chromatography for the rapid isolation of photosynthetic membrane proteins. Perfusion chromatography combines a highly reactive surface per bed volume with extremely high elution flow rates. We present an overview of this chromatographic method and show the rapid isolation of reaction centres from plant Photosystems I and II and photosynthetic purple bacteria, as well as the fractionation of the chlorophyll a/b-binding proteins of Photosystem I (LHC I). The isolation times have been drastically reduced compared to earlier approaches. The pronounced reduction in time for separation of photosynthetic complexes is convenient and permits purification of proteins in a more native state, including the maintainance of ligands and the possibility to isolate proteins trapped in intermediate metabolic or structural states.Abbreviations Chl chlorophyll - LDAO N,N dimethyldodecylamine-N-oxide - LHC light-harvesting complex - PS photosystem - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis  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

The polypeptide composition of thylakoid membrane fractions from the heterotrophic cyanobacterium Aphanocapsa 6714 was examined by electrophoretic and immunoblotting procedures. We have identified thylakoid cytochromes f, b6, c-550 and c-553 by tetramethylbenzidine staining of lithium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels; we also have identified the Rieske Fe-S center protein and subunit 4 of the cytochrome b6/f complex. We have characterized phycobilisomes and active core preparations of PS I and PS II. PS I is comprised of five polypeptides (62 kDa, 14.5 kDa, 10 kDa, and two proteins of less than 10 kDa), and our PS II preparation is highly enriched for three chlorophyll-binding proteins of 48, 45 and 36 kDa. Furthermore, we have resolved the chlorophyll-binding complexes on non-denaturing gels and have determined the polypeptide composition of each chlorophyll-containing band. Three bands are associated with PS I (I, IIa and IIb) and three bands are PS II components (III', IIIa and IIIb) as judged by low-temperature fluorescence emission spectra. Band III' contains a 64 kDa antenna polypeptide, IIIa contains the 48 kDa and 45 kDa polypeptides, and IIIb is comprised solely of a 36 kDa protein. The IIIb apoprotein represents a novel PS II component; its possible role in photochemistry is discussed.  相似文献

The effects of reductions in growth temperature on the development of thylakoids of maize (Zea mays var LG11) leaves are examined. Thylakoids isolated from mesophyll cells of leaves grown at 17° and 14°C, compared with 25°C, exhibited a decreased accumulation of many polypeptides, which was accompanied by a loss of activity of photosystems (PS) I and II. Probing the polypeptide profiles with a range of antibodies specific for thylakoid proteins demonstrated that a number of polypeptides encoded by the chloroplast genome failed to accumulate at low temperatures. Although thylakoid protein synthesis was reduced severely at 14°C compared with 25°C, major synthesis of both chloroplast and nuclear encoded polypeptides was detected. It is suggested that the lack of accumulation of some thylakoid proteins at low temperatures may be due to an inability to stabilize the proteins in the membranes. A number of thylakoid polypeptides were found to appear as the growth temperature was decreased. Analyses of pigments and polypeptides demonstrated that decreases in the photosystem reaction center core complexes occur relative to the light harvesting complex associated with PS II at reduced growth temperatures. Differential effects on the development of PSI and PSII were also observed, with PSII activity being preferentially reduced. Reductions in PSII content and activity occurred in parallel with decreases in the quantum yield and light-saturated rate of CO2 assimilation. Fractionation of thylakoid pigment-protein complexes showed that the ratio of monomeric:oligomeric form of the light harvesting complex associated with PSII increased at low growth temperature, which is consistent with a chill-induced modification of thylakoid organization. Many, but not all, of the characteristic changes in thylakoid protein metabolism, which were observed when leaves were grown at low temperatures in controlled environments, were identified in leaves of a field maize crop during the early growing season when low temperatures were experienced by the crop. Chill-induced perturbations of thylakoid development can occur in the field in temperate regions and may have implications for the photosynthetic productivity of the crop.  相似文献
