盐酸胍处理大麦类囊体膜对金属阳离子调节激发能分配的影响

以大麦（ＨｏｒｄｅｕｍＶｕｌｇａｒｅＬ）叶片为实验材料,研究盐酸胍处理大麦类囊体膜对金属阳离子调节激发能分配的影响。结果表明：当未用盐酸胍处理时,Ｍｇ２＋对类囊体膜的Ｆ６８６／Ｆ７３６比值有显著的刺激作用,而用不同浓度盐酸胍处理类囊体膜,则明显阻滞Ｍｇ２＋调节激发能向ＰＳＩＩ分配,表明盐酸胍处理可能损伤类囊膜上ＬＨＣ—ＩＩ与Ｍｇ２＋调节作用有关的蛋白质,从而导致Ｍｇ２＋调节效应降低．用ＳＤＳ—ＰＡＧＥ方法研究盐酸胍处理后的类囊体膜色素蛋白复合物的组成变化,结果表明盐酸胍处理导致ＭＩＣ—ＩＩ中ＭＩＣＰ１和ＬＨＣＰ２组分消失,这说明盐酸胍处理阻滞Ｍｇ２＋调节效应可能与ＬＪＩＣ—ＩＩ上的ＬＨＣＰ１,ＬＨＣＰ２受损有关。     

盐酸胍对毕氏海蓬子类囊体膜蛋白光谱特征的影响

研究了盐酸胍（GuHCl）处理对毕氏海蓬子类囊体膜蛋白亚基和光谱特征的影响。结果显示,随着GuHCl处理浓度的增高,类囊体膜蛋白的吸收光谱和荧光发射光谱明显下降,峰位发生蓝移。这表明GuHCl处理下,类囊体膜蛋白色素微环境发生明显变化,色素蛋白结构遭到破坏;较低浓度2mmol.L-1GuHCl处理下,随着GuHCl处理时间的延长,类囊体膜蛋白的吸收光谱和荧光发射光谱也呈下降趋势,但与GuHCl浓度梯度处理比,下降程度略缓,峰位也基本没有变化。这说明类囊体膜在2mmol.L-1GuHCl不同处理时间下表现出的耐受性比在GuHCl浓度梯度处理条件强。     

低温锻炼对小麦类囊体膜脂膜蛋白的影响

比较两种不同抗寒性小麦品种在低温锻炼前后类囊体膜脂及其脂肪酸成分、光系统Ⅱ捕光叶绿素ａ／ｂ 蛋白复合体（ＬＨＣⅡ）及类囊体吸收光谱,低温荧光发射光谱,发现经低温锻炼后：（１）抗寒与不抗寒品种小麦类囊体磷脂酰甘油（ＰＧ）的反式十六碳－烯酸含量均明显降低;抗寒品种小麦的单半乳糖基甘油二酯（ＭＧＤＧ）／双半乳糖基甘油二酯（ＤＧＤＧ）比值明显降低,而不抗寒品种变化不明显。（２）抗寒品种小麦类脂／叶绿素比值明显增高。（３）两品种小麦类囊体膜ＬＨＣⅡ寡聚体含量均降低,而单体含量均增加。（４）两品种小麦类囊体膜吸收四阶导数光谱Ａ６８３／Ａ６５２比值均升高。（５）不抗寒品种小麦低温荧光发射光谱Ｆ６８５／Ｆ７３８比值上升,而抗寒品种没有变化。我们认为,在低温锻炼过程中膜流动性增大可能是植物抗寒性增强的重要原因,此外,ＭＧＤＧ 含量降低对低温下膜双层的稳定性可能起重要作用     

二硫苏糖醇对叶绿体H~＋－ATP酶复合体CF_0的修饰

ＤＴＴ（二流苏糖醇）可解除ＴＰＴ（氯化三苯锡）对叶绿体光合磷酸化的抑制、减弱ＴＰＴ对类囊体跨膜△ｐＨ的抑制和对类囊体腔内质子外流的促进。由于ＴＰＴ较专一作用于ＣＦ０,推测ＣＦ０受ＤＴＴ修饰。这从ＤＴＴ可消除ＴＰＴ对去除ＣＦ１的类囊体残缺膜△ｐＨ的重建和对残缺膜光下收缩的促进得到进一步的证明。ＤＴＴ的作用是还原二硫键成为游离的巯基,因而ＣＦ０可能含有二硫键。从光下ＤＴＴ或暗中ＤＴＴ处理残缺膜对ＴＰＴ作用的影响,可以看到ＤＴＴ对ＣＦ０的修饰是需光的,类囊体膜在光下发生的构象变化,使ＣＦ０的二硫键暴露而被ＤＴＴ修饰。ＣＦ０的二硫键较ＣＦ１γ的二硫键更快、更敏感地被ＤＴＴ所修饰。     

低温弱光下类囊体腔内质子由CF0渗漏引起黄瓜类囊体耦联度降低

毫秒延迟发光测定结果表明低温弱光处理黄瓜叶片导致类囊体原位（ｉｎ ｓｉｔｕ）耦联度显著降低。ＤＣＣＤ可以恢复低温弱光处理的黄瓜叶片的毫秒延迟发光的慢相强度和反映类囊体膜质子吸收的９－ＡＡ（９－Ａｍｉｎｏａｃｒｉｄｉｎｅ）荧光猝灭能力,说明类囊体耦联度降低的原因是质子由ＣＦ０大量快速渗漏。进一步研究结果表明,活性氧和ＣＦ１的脱落不是低温弱光引起黄瓜类囊体耦联度降低的根本原因。     

二硫苏糖醇对叶绿体H^＋—ATP酶复合体CFo的修饰

ＤＴＴ（二硫苏糖醇）可解除ＴＰＴ（氯化三苯锡）对叶绿体光合磷酸化的抑制,减弱ＴＰＴ对类囊体跨膜△ｐＨ的抑制和对类囊体腔内质子外流的促进。由于ＴＰＴ较专一作用于ＣＦｏ,推测ＣＦｏ受ＤＴＴ修饰。这从ＤＴＴ可消除ＴＰＴ对去除ＣＦ１的类囊体残缺膜△ｐＨ的重建和对残缺膜光下收缩的促进得到进一步的证明。ＤＴＴ的作用是还原二硫键成为游离的疏基,因而ＣＦ０可能含有二硫键。从光下ＤＴＴ或暗中ＤＴＴ处理残缺膜对ＴＰＴ     

几种变性剂对无花果蛋白酶分子去折叠与活力的影响

用不同浓度的变性剂盐酸胍、脲、十二烷基硫酸锂（ＬＤＳ）对无花果蛋白酶（Ｆｉｃｉｎ）变性,用荧光光谱及圆二色谱（ＣＤ谱）监测无花果蛋白酶去折叠过程中的构象变化并与活力变化比较,发现在１－２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ胍浓度及９．２×１０－４ｍｏｌ／ＬＬＤＳ浓度条件下,ＣＤ谱显示的二级结构含量较高,荧光谱的发射峰位刚开始红移,活力的变化则较为显著,表现为胍溶液中激活,ＬＤＳ溶液中失活,揭示酶的这二种变性剂的这二个浓度范围内,可能存在变性中间态。     

盐酸胍对人类胎盘碱性磷酸酶构象与活力的影响

研究人类胎盘碱性磷酸酶（ＰＬＡＰ,Ｅ．Ｃ．３．１．３．１）在胍变性过程中构象与活力的变化;测定胍存在时酶的表观米氏常数（Ｋｍ）。结果表明,低浓度的盐酸胍（＜０．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ）使变性平衡态酶的发射荧光强度略有下降,酶活力增强;随盐酸胍浓度的增加,其荧光强度不仅不再下降,反而升高,酶逐渐失活;当盐酸胍浓度为１．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,其荧光光谱的最大峰位红移,酶活力迅速下降;当盐酸胍浓度为３ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,峰位由３３３．５ｎｍ红移至３５７．１ｎｍ,此时酶活力丧失;当盐酸胍浓度为４ｍｏｌ／Ｌ时,峰位不再红移,但其荧光强度继续增加。测得变性初态酶的表观Ｋｍ值随盐酸胍浓度的增加而增大。结果说明,荧光强度的增加和最大发射峰位的红移是该酶变性失活的一个灵敏指标;酶活力的变化明显快于酶分子整体构象的变化;低浓度的盐酸胍微扰了酶活性部位的构象,而对其整体构象无显著影响。提示酶活性部位具有柔性。     

PSI颗粒中LHPC－I含量与类囊体膜状态的关系

菠菜叶绿体经低渗ＫＣｌ或１ｍｍｏｌ／ＬＥＤＴＡ溶液处理后,再用毛地黄苷法提取ＰＳＩ颗粒,前者ｃｈｌａ／ｂ高于后者。而ＥＤＴＡ－ＰＳＩ颗粒的耗氧活力极强,低温荧光发射具很强的Ｆ６８０。ＳＤＳ－凝胶电泳谱带也表明ＥＤＴＡ－ＰＳＩ颗粒具较浓的２０～２４ｋｄ谱带。凡此都说明ＥＤＴＡ－ＰＳＩ颗粒的ＬＨＰＣ～Ｉ含量远超过ＫＣＩ－ＰＳＩ颗粒的。而叶绿体经ＭｇＣｌ２、ＫＣｌ、ＥＤＴＡ溶液处理后,基粒类囊体膜垛叠的情况不同,它们的ｃｈｌａ／ｂ比值依次下降。说明ＰＳＩ颗粒中ＬＨＰＣ－Ｉ含量与提取时类囊体膜垛叠状态有关。     

海生植物叶绿体膜中阳离子诱导激发能分配变化的静电控制与非静电控制的研究

用Ｃａ２＋和胰酶处理大叶藻（Ｚｏｓｔｅｒａｍａｒｉｎａ）和刺松藻（Ｃｏｄｉｕｍｆｒａｇｉｌｅ）叶绿体膜,研究了它们的类囊体膜多肽组分与Ｍｇ２＋诱导Ｃｈｌａ荧光和膜表面电荷变化之间的相互关系。观察到：（１）在大叶藻的叶绿体膜中,Ｍｇ２＋诱导ＰＳ－Ⅱ荧光强度的增高与其诱导类囊体膜表面电荷密度的降低密切相关;但这种相关性的效应不存在于刺松藻的叶绿体膜中。（２）用Ｃａ２＋处理这两种叶绿体膜分别除去其类囊体膜表面的３２－３４ＫＤ和３０－３１ＫＤ多肽,对上述Ｍｇ２＋诱导的现象无明显的影响。（３）用胰酶进一步消化这些Ｃａ２＋处理过的叶绿体膜分别除去其类囊体膜表面的２６ＫＤ和２３－２４ＫＤ多肽,那么在大叶藻的叶绿体膜中,Ｍｇ２＋诱导荧光和类囊体膜表面电荷变化的相关性效应则全部消失;但在刺松藻的叶绿体膜中,Ｍｇ２＋诱导荧光增高的效应完全消失,而Ｍｇ２＋诱导膜表面电荷变化的性质则保持不变。这些实验结果不仅证明,类囊体膜表面的２６ＫＤ和２３－２４ＫＤ多肽分别为大叶藻和刺松藻叶绿体膜中阳离子诱导激发能在ＰＳ－Ⅱ和ＰＳ－Ⅰ之间分配变化的特异性作用部位;而且说明阳离子调节激发能在这两个光系统之间分配的机理,在这两种海生植物的叶绿体膜中     

Heat-induced changes in photosystem I activity as measured with different electron donors in isolated spinach thylakoid membranes.

Heat-induced changes in photosystem I (PSI) have been studied in terms of rates of oxygen consumption using various donors (DCPIPH2, TMPDred and DADred), formation of photo-oxidized P700 and changes in Chl a fluorescence emission at 77 K. Linear heating of thylakoid membranes from 35 degrees C to 70 degrees C caused an enhancement in PSI-mediated electron transfer rates (DCPIPH2-->MV) up to 55 degrees C. However, no change was observed in PSI rates when other electron donors were used (TMPDred and DADred). Similarly, Chl a fluorescence emission spectra at 77 K of heat-treated thylakoid membranes did not show any increase in peak at 735 nm, however, a significant decrease was observed as a function of temperature in the peaks at 685 and 694 nm. In DCMU-treated control thylakoid membranes maximum photo-oxidized P700 was generated at g = 2.0025. In heat-treated thylakoid membranes maximum intensity of photo-oxidized P700 signal was observed at approximately 50-55 degrees C without DCMU treatment. The steady-state signal of the photo-oxidized P700 was studied in the presence of DCPIPH2 and TMPDred as electron donors in DCMU-treated control and in 50 degrees C treated thylakoid membranes. We present here the first of such comparative study of PSI activity in terms of the rates of oxygen consumption and re-reduction kinetics of photo-oxidized P700 in the presence of different electron donors. It appears that the formation of the P700+ signal in heat-treated thylakoid membranes is due to an inhibited electron supply from PSII and not due to spillover or antenna migration.     

亚硫酸对PSII的伤害

从菠菜叶中提取 PSII 颗粒和叶绿体、经亚硫酸处理后发现:由 PSII 颗粒催化的 DCIP光还原速率依 SO_3~(2-)浓度增高而降低、伤害部位发生于 PSII 的氧化侧,接近水的部位。在黑暗条件下 H_2O→DCIP 和 DPC→DCIP 的电子传递均不受影响。在特定 SO_3~(2-)浓度下,PSII 颗粒的伤害随处理时间的延长而加重,其伤害机理与33kD 多肽的解离和 Mn 的流失有关。SO_3~(2-)对新鲜叶绿体并不伤害;对老化的叶绿体则伤害明显,DCIP 光还原速率依老化时间的延长而降低。Mn 含量的减少与 DCIP 光还原速率的降低呈正相关,试样中添加 EGTA后电子传递速率受害更为严重。     

Effects of water stress on photochemical function and protein metabolism of photosystem II in wheat leaves

The effects of osmotic dehydration in wheat leaves ( Triticum aestivum L. cv. Longchun No. 10) on the photochemical function and protein metabolism of PSII were studied with isolated thylakoid and PSII membranes. The results indicated that PSII was rather resistant to water stress as mild water deficit in leaves did nut significantly affect its activity. However, extreme stress conditions such as 40% decrease in relative water content (RWC) or 1.8 MPa in water potential (Ψ) caused ca 50% reduction in O₂ evolution and ca 25% inhibition of DCIP (2.6-dichlorophenol indophenol) photoreduction of PSII. In addition, it was found that the inhibited DCIP photoreduction of PSII could not be reversed by DPC (2.2-diphenylcarbazide), a typical electron donor to PSII, suggesting that water stress did not affect electron donation to PSII. Urea-SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis showed that the steady slate levels of major PSII proteins, including the D1 and D2 proteins in the PSII reaction center, declined on a chlorophyll basis with increasing water stress, possibly as a result of increased degradation. In vitro translation experiments and quantitative analysis of chloroplast RNAs indicated that the potential synthesis of chloroplast proteins from their mRNAs was impaired by water stress. From the results it is concluded that the effects of water stress on PSII protein metabolism, especially on the reaction center proteins, may account for the damage to PSII photochemistry.     

Fluoride affects distribution of absorbed excitation energy more in favour of photosystem 1

The effects of fluoride on the photosynthetic electron transport chain have been studied in spinach thylakoid membranes. Inhibition in photosystem (PS) 2 electron transport rates and a subsequent increase in PS 1 electron transport rate indicated a possibility of state transitions being a mechanism of fluoride action. This hypothesis was further confirmed by the increase in fluorescence emission F_735/685 at 77 K, a decrease in variable to maximum fluorescence ratio (F_v/F_m) at room temperature and increase in the absorption cross section of PS 1 suggesting that fluoride affects distribution of the excitation energy in favour of PS 1 at the expense of PS 2.     

Alteration of Components of Chlorophyll-Protein Complexes and Distribution of Excitation Energy Between the Two Photosystems in Two New Rice Chlorophyll b-less mutants

Two new yellow rice chlorophyll (Chl) b-less (lack) mutants VG28-1 and VG30-5 differ from the other known Chl b-less mutants with larger amounts of soluble protein and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase small sub-unit and smaller amounts of Chl a. We investigated the altered features of Chl-protein complexes and excitation energy distribution in these two mutants, as compared with wild type (WT) rice cv. Zhonghua 11 by using native mild green gel electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE, and 77 K Chl fluorescence in the presence of Mg²⁺. WT rice revealed five pigment-protein bands and fourteen polypeptides in thylakoid membranes. Two Chl b-less mutants showed only CPI and CPa pigment bands, and contained no 25 and 26 kDa polypeptides, reduced amounts of the 21 kDa polypeptide, but increased quantities of 32, 33, 56, 66, and 19 kDa polypeptides. The enhanced absorption of CPI and CPa and the higher Chl fluorescence emission ratio of F685/F720 were also observed in these mutants. This suggested that the reduction or loss of the antenna LHC1 and LHC2 was compensated by an increment in core component and the capacity to harvest photon energy of photosystem (PS) 1 and PS2, as well as in the fraction of excitation energy distributed to PS2 in the two mutants. 77 K Chl fluorescence spectra of thylakoid membranes showed that the PS1 fluorescence emission was shifted from 730 nm in WT rice to 720 nm in the mutants. The regulation of Mg²⁺ to excitation energy distribution between the two photosystems was complicated. 10 mM Mg²⁺ did not affect noticeably the F685/F730 emission ratio of WT thylakoid membranes, but increased the ratio of F685/F720 in the two mutants due to a reduced emission at 685 nm as compared to that at 720 nm.     

Oxygenic photoreduction of methyl viologen and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate without the involvement of photosystem I during plastid development

Studies on the appearance of various electron transport functions were followed during greening of etiolated cucumber cotyledons. Appearance of dichlorodimethoxy-p-benzoquinone, dimethyl quinone, tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine, dichlorophenol indophenol and ferricyanide Hill reactions were observed after 8h of greening. However, photoreduction of methyl viologen (MV) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) was observed from 2h of greening. Variable fluorescence, which is a direct indication of water-splitting function, was observed from 2h of greening in cotyledons, thylakoid membranes and photosystem II (PSII) particles. The decrease in variable fluorescence in the presence of MV (due to rapid reoxidation of Q-) observed from early stages of greening confirmed the photoreduction of MV by PSII. The early development of water-splitting function was further confirmed by the abolition of variable fluorescence in thylakoid membranes and PSII particles by heat treatment and concomittant loss of light dependent oxygen uptake in the presence of MV in heat treated chloroplasts. However, the photoreduction of MV and NADP was insensitive to intersystem electron transport inhibitors, dichlorophenyl dimethylurea or dibromomethyl isopropyl-p-benzoquinone till 8h of greening. Though the oxidation of intersystem electron carrier cytochrome f was observed from early stages of greening, the reduction of cytochrome f was not observed till 8h of greening. All these observations confirm that during early stages of greening MV and NADP are photoreduced by PSII without the involvement of intersystem electron carriers or the collaboration of PSI. Since these observations are at variance with the currently prevalent concept (Z-Scheme) of the photosynthetic generation of reducing power, which requires definite collaboration of the two photosystems, an alternate electron flow pathway is proposed.     

Regulation of energy balance in photosystems in response to changes in CO2 concentrations and light intensities during growth in extremely-high-CO2-tolerant green microalgae

Regulation of energy balance in photosystems in response to extremely-high-CO2 (40%) and low-CO2 (0.04%) stress was studied in extremely-high-CO2-tolerant green microalgae, Chlorococcum littorale and Chlorella sp. UK001. To investigate the energy input process, we assessed an F714/F685-ratio in a 77K fluorescence emission spectrum induced by 440-nm excitation in intact cells, which represents a ratio of fluorescence intensities derived from light-harvesting chlorophyll complexes in PSI and PSII. The F714/F685-ratio increased in several days after transferring C. littorale cells from air to 40% CO2, from 3% to 40% CO2 and from 3% to air. In all cases, the increase in the F714/F685-ratio was observed in high cell density culture, but no or a little increase was apparent in sparse cell density culture, when these cultures were illuminated at 250 micromol photon m-2 s-1. Even in the sparse culture, however, a similar increase in the F714/F685-ratio was observed when C. littorale cells were transferred from 3% to 40% CO2 at 20 micromol photon m-2 s-1. The cell density did not affect the F714/F685-ratio when CO2 concentration was kept at 3%. The activity of PSI electron (e-) transport was much higher in 40% CO2-grown cells than in 3% CO2-grown cells irrespective of the cell density during the culture, whereas the difference in PSII activity between them was small. The PSI activity at high cell density was higher also in air-grown cells than that in 3% CO2-grown cells. In both dense and sparse culture, 40% CO2-grown cells and air-grown cells showed higher relative quantum yield of PSI in the presence of DCMU than 3% CO2-grown cells, suggesting an increase in cyclic electron flow around PSI. Likewise, the increase in the F714/F685-ratio in response to the transfer to 40% CO2 was observed also in another extremely-high-CO2-tolerant alga, Chlorella sp. UK001. The possible role of the increases in the F714/F685-ratio, PSI/PSII activity ratio and cyclic e- transport activity in extremely-high-CO2 acclimation is discussed in comparison with low-CO2 acclimation.     

Phosphorylation of the light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein regulates excitation energy distribution between photosystem II and photosystem I

The kinetics of thylakoid membrane protein phosphorylation in the presence of light and adenosine triphosphate is correlated to an incease in the 77 °K fluorescence emission at 735 nm (F735) relative to that at 685 nm (F685). Analysis of detergent-derived submembrane fractions indicate phosphorylation only of the polypeptides of Photosystem II, and the light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex serving Photosystem II (LHC-II). Although several polypeptides are phosphorylated, only the dephosphorylation kinetics of LHC-II follow the kinetics of the decrease of the $\text{F735}\text{F685}$ fluorescence emission ratios. The relative quantum yield of Photosystem II was significantly lower in phosphorylated membranes compared to dephosphorylated membranes. Reversible LHC-II phosphorylation thus provides the physiological mechanism for the control of the distribution of absorbed excitation energy between the two photosystems.     

Effects of the Alkaloid Gramine on the Light-Harvesting,Energy Transfer,and Growth of Anabaena sp. (PCC 7119)

Long-term and short-term effects of gramine on cells of Anabaena sp. were studied. Culture death was observed after an initial growth in the presence of 0.5 mM gramine, and lower concentrations decreased both the specific growth rate and the growth yield. Cultures showed a reduction in the chlorophyll content as well as an increase in the level of accessory pigments, which were proportional to the alkaloid concentration. When cultures were excited with green light in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, the fluorescence spectra of the cells showed a shoulder at 685 nm related to the photosystem II (PSII) antennae emission. This band was reduced when gramine was present during the growth, suggesting that gramine suppresses the energy transfer between the phycobilisomes and PSII. At lethal concentrations for cellular growth, gramine suppressed immediately the photosynthetic oxygen production as well as the electron transport from H2O to p-benzoquinone. The influence of gramine on the PSII photochemical reactions was investigated by flash-induced fluorescence measurements, and the results suggest that the alkaloid could act as an electron donor to the PSII reaction center.
