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

The cytochrome and prenylquinone compositions were compared for cytoplasmic membranes and thylakoid membranes from the cyanobacterium (blue-green alga) Anacystis nidulans. Reduced-minus-oxidized difference absorption spectra at ?196°C indicated that the thylakoid membranes contained photosynthetic cytochromes such as cytochrome ?, cytochrome b-559 and cytochrome b6, while cytochromes c-549 and c-552 were detected spectrophotometrically only after their release by sonic oscillation. The cytoplasmic membrane preparation contained one or two low-potential cytochrome(s) with α-band maxima at 553 and 559 nm at ?196°C, which differed from the cytochromes in the thylakoid membranes. A cytochrome specific to the cytoplasmic membranes was also found by heme-staining after lithium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both types of membranes contained the three prenylquinones plastoquinone-9, phylloquinone and 5′-monohydroxyphylloquinone, but in different proportions. 相似文献

Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii) cotyledons were found to synthesize chlorophylls in complete darkness during germination, although the synthesis was not as great as that in the light. The compositions of thylakoid components in plastids of cotyledons grown in the dark and light were compared using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns of polypeptides and spectroscopic determination of membrane redox components. All thylakoid membrane proteins found in preparations from light-grown cotyledons were also present in preparations from dark-grown cotyledons. However, levels of photosystem I, photosystem II, cytochrome b[ill]/f, and light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complexes in dark-grown cotyledons were only one-fourth of those in light-grown cotyledons, on a fresh weight basis. These results suggest that the low abundance of thylakoid components in dark-grown cotyledons is associated with the limited supply of chlorophyll needed to assemble the two photosystem complexes and the light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex. 相似文献

Light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein was purified from thylakoidmembranes of the marine unicellular alga Nannochloropsis sp.(Eustigmatophyceae), which contains neither chlorophyll b norchlorophyll c. Solubilization of thylakoid membranes with octyl-ß-D-glucopyranosideor with digitonin followed by separation on sucrose densitygradient yielded a chlorophyll-protein complex composed of anapoprotein of 26 kDa and an average of 9 chlorophyll a and 4violaxanthin molecules per apoprotein. Excitation spectra ofchlorophyll a fluorescence for the algal thylakoid membranesindicated energy transfer from the xanthophylls; however, anyattempt to solubilize the membranes greatly decreased energytransfer which was further reduced as the purification proceeded.The 26 kDa polypeptide of the isolated light-harvesting complexdid not cross-react with polyclonal antibodies raised againstanalogous proteins from higher plants and chlorophyll a/c alga.The N-terminus amino acid sequence of the apoprotein shows significantstructural similarity to the N-termini of the mature light harvestingfucoxanthin, chlorophyll a/c proteins from the diatom Phaeodactylumtricornutum, but not with the N-termini of light-harvestingproteins from chlorophyll a/b containing organisms.

The mutant pg 113, derived from Chlamydomonas reinhardii, arg2− mt+ (parent strain), completely lacks chlorophyll (Chl) b but is still able to grow under autotrophic conditions. The light-harvesting Chl
complex (LHCP) is absent. This is shown (a) by the lack of the corresponding signal in the CD spectrum of thylakoids and (b) by the absence of the band of the LHCP after electrophoresis of partially solubilized thylakoid membranes on lithium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels. All the other chlorophyll-protein complexes are present. In spite of the absence of the LHCP, all the polypeptide components of this complex are present in the mutant in the same ratios as in the parent strain, although in slightly reduced amounts. The LHC apoproteins are synthesized, processed and transported into the thylakoid membrane of the mutant. Moreover, the phosphorylation of thylakoid membrane polypeptides, which is related to the regulation of the energy distribution between Photosystem I and II, is the same in the mutant and in the parent strain, indicating that phosphorylation is not dependent on the presence of Chl b. Electron micrographs of thin sections of whole cells show that there are stacked regions of thylakoids in both the mutant and the parent strain chloroplasts. However, in the mutant, stacks are located near the chloroplast envelope, while long stretches or sometimes circles of unstacked membranes are found in the interior, mostly around the pyrenoid. 相似文献

Thylakoid membranes obtained from bean chloroplasts treated with bean galactolipase or phospholipase A2 (from Crotalus terr. terr.) showed marked changes in their polypeptide patterns when separated on SDS-PAGE. The obtained results have been discussed with regard to the relationship between chloroplast lipids and polypeptides originating from chlorophyll-protein complexes of bean thylakoids. A coexistence between galactolipids and the peripheral antennae in PS I complex and LHCP3 as well as a conspicuous role of phospholipids in PSI and PSII centre chlorophyll-protein complexes has to be underlined.Abbreviations CP1

Phosphorylation of polypeptides in isolated thylakoids was examined during chloroplast biogenesis in greening etiolated wheat leaves and 4 day-old wheat leaves grown under a diurnal light regime. At early stages of plastid development standard thylakoid preparations were heavily contaminated with nuclear proteins, which distorted the polypeptide phosphorylation profiles. Removal of contamination from membranes by sucrose density centrifugation demonstrated that the major membrane phosphoprotein in etioplasts was at 35 kDa. During etioplast greening a number of phosphoproteins appeared, of which the 25–27 kDa apoproteins of the light-harvesting chlorophylla/b protein complex associated with photosystem II (LHCII) became the most dominant. At the early stages of thylakoid development found at the base of the 4-day-old light grown leaf the LHCII apoproteins were evident as phosphoproteins; however the major phosphoprotein was polypeptide atca. 9kDA. Phosphorylation of both the LHCII apoproteins and the 9 kDa polypeptide in these thylakoids was not light-dependent. In the older thylakoids isolated from the leaf tip the LHCII apoproteins were the major phosphoproteins and their phosphorylation had become light-regulated; however phosphorylation of the 9 kDa polypeptide remained insensitive to light. 相似文献

The Chl-protein complexes of three maize (Zea mays L.) mutants and one barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutant were analyzed using low temperature Chl fluorescence emissions spectroscopy and LDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The maize mutants hcf-3, hcf-19, and hcf-114 all exhibited a high Chl fluorescence (hcf) phenotype indicating a disruption of the energy transfer within the photosynthetic apparatus. The mutations in each of these maize mutants affects Photosystem II. The barley mutant analyzed was the well characterized Chl b-less mutant chlorina-f2, which did not exhibit the hcf phenotype. Chlorina-f2 was used because no complete Chl b-less mutant of maize is available. Analysis of hcf-3, hcf-19, and hcf-114 revealed that in the absence of CP43, LHC II can still transfer excitation energy to CP47. These results suggest that in mutant membranes LHC II can interact with CP47 as well as CP43. This functional interaction of LHC II with CP47 may only occur in the absence of CP43, however, it is possible that LHC II is positioned in the thylakoid membranes in a manner which allows association with both CP43 and CP47.Abbreviations

Chloroplasts consist of six morphologically distinct compartments. Each compartment has a specific set of polypeptides that perform distinct biochemical functions. We report here the identification of a membrane-associated protein with a novel localization. This protein was synthesized as a 37 kDa precursor and was processed to a mature protein of 30 kDa after being imported into isolated pea chloroplasts. Fractionation of chloroplasts showed that the 30 kDa mature protein was associated with both of the envelope membranes as well as with thylakoid membranes. Immunocyto-chemical localization of the 30 kDa protein revealed that the protein occurred in clusters in the vicinity of both the envelope and the thylakoid. Possible functions of this 30 kDa protein, inferred from its novel localization pattern, are discussed.Abbreviations CAB

The polypeptide composition and spectral properties of isolated light-harvesting chlorophyll complexes from intact and trypsin-treated thylakoid membranes of Hordeum vulgare and Vicia faba are compared. The LHCP complexes consist of four distinct polypeptides with molecular weights between 21 000 and 25 000 occurring in equal relative amounts in the whole polypeptide spectra of thylakoid membranes. It is shown indirectly that the two major polypeptides very probably belong to different chlorophyll-proteins. The loss of a small segment from both polypeptides during trypsin digestion of thylakoids does not substantially alter the spectral properties and cation-mediated aggregation of isolated LHCP complexes. 相似文献

The phylogenetic distribution of photosystem I-associated polypeptides was assessed by immunoblotting algal thylakoid membrane polypeptides with antisera generated against the P700-chlorophyll a protein (CC I) and a photosystem I light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein (LHC Ib). Polypeptides cross-reacting with the CC I apoprotein were found in 20 species representing four classes of unicellular algae. Polypeptides sharing antigenicity with spinach LHC Ib were observed only in algal species containing chlorophyll b. Tetraselmis spp. (Pleurastrophyceae), rich in chlorophyll b (Chl a:b 1.2), exhibited marked heterogeneity in the composition of their CC I and LHC Ib cross-reactive polypeptides. When immunoblotted with antisera against CC I, all Tetraselmis clones examined exhibited a 25-kD polypeptide in greater abundance than the 58-kD CC I apoprotein characteristic of higher plants and other green algal thylakoids. Three Tetraselmis clones (RG 6, RG 11, and RG 12) exhibited an 81-kD polypeptide with strong antigenicity toward the LHC Ib antisera, in contrast to the 17- to 24-kD cross-reactive polypeptides found in spinach, green algae, and one Tetraselmis clone (RG 5). Associated with the unique photosystem I polypeptide composition in Tetraselmis spp., Chl: P700 ratios for the group are 2–5 times greater than those observed for higher plants or other green algae. The chlorophyll b enrichment, unusual composition of photosystem I cross-reactive polypeptides, and heterogeneity of these polypeptides within isolates of Tetraselmis might make this genus useful for investigations of the functional organization of chlorophyll b in light-harvesting systems. These features also support the view of an alternative phyletic origin for the Pleurastrophyceae. 相似文献

Four distinct integration/translocation routes into/across thylakoid membranes have recently been deduced for nuclear-encoded
polypeptides of the photosynthetic membrane. Corresponding information for the plastid-encoded protein complement is lacking.
We have investigated this aspect with in-organello assays employing chimeric constructs generated with codon-correct cassettes
for genes of plastid-encoded thylakoid proteins, and appropriate transit peptides from six nuclear genes, representing three
targeting classes, as a strategy. The three major plastid-encoded components of the cytochrome b
6
f complex, namely pre-apocytochrome f, (including apocytochrome f, and pre-apocytochrome f lacking the C-terminal transmembrane segment), cytochrome b
6
, and subunit IV, which differ in the number of their transmembrane segments, were studied. Import into chloroplasts could
be observed in all instances but with relatively low efficiency. Thylakoid integration can occurr post-translationally, but
only components with secretory/secretory pathway (SEC)-route-specific epitopes were correctly assembled with the cytochrome
complex, or competed with this process. Inhibitor studies were consistent with these findings. Imported cytochrome b
6
and subunit IV operated with uncleaved targeting signals for thylakoid integration. The corresponding determinant for cytochrome
f is its signal peptide; its C-terminal hydrophobic segment did not, or did not appreciably, contribute to this process. The
N-termini of cytochrome b
6
and subunit IV appear to reside on the same (lumenal) side of the membrane, consistent with the currently favored four-helix
model for the cytochrome, but in disagreement with the topography proposed for both components. The impact of the findings
for protein routing, including for applied approaches such as compartment-alien transformation, is discussed.

Organization of the thylakoid membrane from the heterotrophic cyanobacterium, Aphanocapsa 6714 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
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

We have analyzed the heme-associated peroxidase activity in thylakoid membranes from the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii after electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Besides cytochrome f and cytochrome b6, we observed peroxidase activity in two other bands, of 34 and 11 kDa, of unknown origin. Characterization of the b6/f complex subunits was undertaken by means of a comparison of the polypeptide deficiencies in several b6/f mutants with the polypeptide content of preparations enriched in b6/f complexes. We conclude that the b6/f complex consists of five subunits. Using site-specific translation inhibitors, we show that cytochrome f, cytochrome b6 and subunit IV are of chloroplast origin, whereas the Rieske protein and probably subunit V are translated on cytoplasmic ribosomes. A model of assembly of the complex is proposed: a cytochrome moiety, comprising the subunits of chloroplast origin, is assembled in the thylakoid membranes prior to the insertion and assembly of the subunits encoded in the nuclear genome. 相似文献

We investigated the diurnal fluctuation in the composition of the light harvesting chlorophyll a/b antenna of photosystem II in young wheat (Triticum aestivum) leaves grown under periodic day/night irradiation. By means of gel electrophoresis of the polypeptides of thylakoid membranes, we determined the amount of 25 kDa and 27 kDa polypeptides, which are the main components of the peripheral and inner antenna subpopulations, respectively. Our data show a preferential fluctuation in the amount of the 25 kDa protein relative to the 27 kDa polypeptide, in parallel to the fluctuation in the amount of chlorophyll a/b antenna of photosystem II, which suggests that the peripheral antenna plays a role in the diurnal adjustment of the antenna size. 相似文献

Thylakoid membranes were prepared from the blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans with lysozyme treatment and a short period of sonic oscillation. The thylakoid membrane preparation was highly active in the electron transport reactions such as the Hill reactions with ferricyanide and with 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, the Mehler reaction mediated by methyl viologen and the system 1 reaction with methyl viologen as an electron acceptor and 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol and ascorbate as an electron donor system. The Hill reaction with ferricyanide and the system 1 reaction was stimulated by the phosphorylating conditions. The cyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylation was also active.These findings suggest that the preparation of thylakoid membranes retained the electron transport system from H2O to reaction center 1, and that the phosphorylation reaction was coupled to the Hill reaction and the system 1 reaction. 相似文献

Techniques are described for the isolation of plastid thylakoid membranes from light-grown and dark-grown cells of Euglena gracilis var. bacillaris, and from mutants affecting plastid development. These membranes, which have minimal contamination with other cell fractions, are localized in sucrose gradients by using the thylakoid membrane sulfolipid as a specific marker. The plastid thylakoid membrane polypeptides isolated from these membranes were separated on SDS polyacrylamide gels and yielded patterns containing 30–40 polypeptides. Light-grown strain Z gave patterns identical with bacillaris. Since the plastid thylakoid polypeptide patterns obtained from dark-grown wild-type cells and from a bleached mutant W3BUL in which plastid DNA is undetectable are identical, it appears that the proplastid thylakoid polypeptides of wild-type cannot be coded in plastid DNA and are probably coded in nuclear DNA. The plastid thylakoid polypeptide patterns obtained from various dark-grown mutants are identical to those obtained from dark-grown wild-type cells. Light-grown mutants, making large but abnormal chloroplasts, show a correlation between the amount of chlorophyll formed and the amount of a plastid thylakoid polypeptide thought to be associated with one of the pigment-protein light-harvesting complexes. Treatment with SAN 9789 (4-chloro-5-(methyl-amino)-2-(α,α,α,-trifluoro-m-tolyl)-3-(2H(pyridazinone) known to block carotenoid synthesis at the level of phytoene, causes a progressive loss of all plastid thylakoid polypeptides during growth in darkness and results in the establishment of a new, lower steady-state level of sulfolipid. At least ten of the plastid thylakoid polypeptides become labeled when isolated chloroplasts are supplied with radioactive amino acids; of these six are undectable in W3BUL and are, therefore, candidates for coding by plastid DNA. 相似文献

Chlorophyll-protein complexes of the wild type and 16 strainsof chlorina mutants of rice were investigated by gel electrophoresis.An antenna chlorophyll a/b-protein of photosystem II (LHC-II)was present in reduced amounts in Type II chlorina mutants whichhave the chlorophyll a/b ratios of 1015, and was totallyabsent from Type I chlorina mutants which lack chlorophyll b.Another antenna chlorophyll-protein of photosystem I (LHC-I)containing two polypeptides of 20 and 21 kDa was also presentin the Type II mutants but not in the Type I mutants. The polypeptideprofiles of the thylakoid membranes indicate that Type I mutantslack both the 20 and 21 kDa polypeptides, whereas the abundanceof the two polypeptides relative to the CPI apoprotein in theType II mutants is comparable with that in the wild type. Itis concluded that the 20 and 21 kDa polypeptides are both relatedto LHC-I and are normally synthesized and accumulated in theType II mutants. (Received June 6, 1985; Accepted August 6, 1985) 相似文献
