A ‘metal-free’ chlorophyll (Chl) a, pheophytin (Phe) a, functions as the primary electron acceptor in PS II. On the basis of Phe a/PS II = 2, Phe a content is postulated as an index for estimation of the stoichiometry of pigments and photosystems. We found Phe a in a Chl d-dominant cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina, whereas Phe d was absent. The minimum Chl a:Phe a ratio was 2:2, indicating that the primary electron donor is Chl a, accessory is Chl d, and the primary electron acceptor is Phe a in PS II of A. marina. Chl d was artificially formed by the treatment of Chl a with papain in aqueous organic solvents. Further, we will raise a key question on the mechanisms of water oxidation in PS II. 相似文献

In this article we report the characterization of the energy transfer process in the reconstituted isoforms of the plant light-harvesting complex II. Homotrimers of recombinant Lhcb1 and Lhcb2 and monomers of Lhcb3 were compared to native trimeric complexes. We used low-intensity femtosecond transient absorption (TA) and time-resolved fluorescence measurements at 77 K and at room temperature, respectively, to excite the complexes selectively in the chlorophyll b absorption band at 650 nm with 80 fs pulses and on the high-energy side of the chlorophyll a absorption band at 662 nm with 180 fs pulses. The subsequent kinetics was probed at 30–35 different wavelengths in the region from 635 to 700 nm. The rate constants for energy transfer were very similar, indicating that structurally the three isoforms are highly homologous and that probably none of them play a more significant role in light-harvesting and energy transfer. No signature has been found in the transient absorption measurements at 77 K for Lhcb3 which might suggest that this protein acts as a relative energy sink of the excitations in heterotrimers of Lhcb1/Lhcb2/Lhcb3. Minor differences in the amplitudes of some of the rate constants and in the absorption and fluorescence properties of some pigments were observed, which are ascribed to slight variations in the environment surrounding some of the chromophores depending on the isoform. The decay of the fluorescence was also similar for the three isoforms and multi-exponential, characterized by two major components in the ns regime and a minor one in the ps regime. In agreement with previous transient absorption measurements on native LHC II complexes, Chl b → Chl a energy transfer exhibited very fast channels but at the same time a slow component (ps). The Chls absorbing at around 660 nm exhibited both fast energy transfer which we ascribe to transfer from ‘red’ Chl b towards ‘red’ Chl a and slow transfer from ‘blue’ Chl a towards ‘red’ Chl a. The results are discussed in the context of the new available atomic models for LHC II. 相似文献

The pyridazinone-type herbicide norflurazon SAN 9789 inhibiting the biosynthesis of long-chain carotenoids results in significant decrease in PS II core complexes and content of light-harvesting complex (LHC) polypeptides in the 29.5–21 kDa region. The Chl a forms at 668, 676, and 690 nm that belong to LHC and antenna part of PS I disappear completely after treatment. The intensity of the Chl b form at 648 nm is sharply decreased in treated seedlings grown under 30 or 100 lx light intensity. The bands of carotenoid absorption at 421, 448 (Chl a), 452, 480, 492, 496 (β-carotene), and 508 nm also disappear. The band shift from 740 to 720 nm and decrease in its intensity relative to the 687 nm emission peak in the low-temperature fluorescence spectrum (77 K) suggests a disturbance of energy transfer from LHC to the Chla form at 710–712 nm. 相似文献

Using 77 K chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence spectra in vivo, the development was studied of Photosystems II (PS II) and I (PS I) during greening of barley under intermittent light followed
by continuous light at low (LI, 50 μmol m−2 s−1) and high (HI, 1000 μmol m−2 s−1) irradiances. The greening at HI intermittent light was accompanied with significantly reduced fluorescence intensity from
Chl b excitation for both PS II (F685) and PS I (F743), in comparison with LI plants, indicating that assembly of light-harvesting
complexes (LHC) of both photosystems was affected to a similar degree. During greening at continuous HI, a slower increase
of emission from Chl b excitation in PS II as compared with PS I was observed, indicating a preferred reduction in the accumulation of LHC II. The
following characteristics of 77 K Chl a fluorescence spectra documented the photoprotective function of an elevated content of carotenoids in HI leaves: (1) a pronounced
suppression of Soret region of excitation spectra (410–450 nm) in comparison with the red region (670–690 nm) during the early
stage of greening indicated a strongly reduced excitation energy transfer from carotenoids to the Chl a fluorescing forms within PS I and PS II; (2) changes in the shape of the excitation band of Chl b and carotenoids (460–490 nm) during greening under continuous light confirmed that the energy transfer from carotenoids to
Chl a within PS II remained lower as compared with the LI plants.

The Porphyridium cruentum light harvesting complex (LHC) binds Chl a, zeaxanthin and -carotene and comprises at least 6 polypeptides of a multigene family. We describe the first in vitro reconstitution of a red algal light-harvesting protein (LHCaR1) with Chl a/carotenoid extracts from P. cruentum. The reconstituted pigment complex (rLHCaR1) is spectrally similar to the native LHC I, with an absorption maximum at 670 nm, a 77 K fluorescence emission peak at 677 nm (ex. 440 nm), and similar circular dichroism spectra. Molar ratios of 4.0 zeaxanthin, 0.3 -carotene and 8.2 Chl a per polypeptide for rLHCaR1 are similar to those of the native LHC I complex (3.1 zeaxanthin, 0.5 -carotene, 8.5 Chl a). The binding of 8 Chl a molecules per apoprotein is consistent with 8 putative Chl-binding sites in the predicted transmembrane helices of LHCaR1. Two of the putative Chl a binding sites (helix 2) in LHCaR1 were assigned to Chl b in Chl a/b-binding (CAB) LHC II [Kühlbrandt et al. (1994) Nature 367: 614–21]. This suggests either that discrimination for binding of Chl a or Chl b is not very specific at these sites or that specificity of binding sites evolved separately in CAB proteins. LHCaR1 can be reconstituted with varying ratios of carotenoids, consistent with our previous observation that the carotenoid to Chl ratio is substantially higher in P. cruentum grown under high irradiance. Also notable is that zeaxanthin does not act as an accessory light-harvesting pigment, even though it is highly likely that it occupies the position assigned to lutein in the CAB LHCs.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

We previously reported that applications of chloramphenicol to the chlorina wheat mutant, CD3, decreased the leaf Chl a/b ratio and enhanced accumulations of LHC proteins and LHC complexes during greening (Duysen et al. 1985). We have now examined Chl degradation and the change in Chl a/b ratios in wheat leaves kept in the dark as a measure of LHC destruction. Chl b was stable in chloroplasts of the CD3 wheat kept in darkness up to 5 days. Chloramphenicol significantly increased Chl b accumulations and impaired Chl a degradation in both CD3 mutant and normal wheat relative to untreated plants. Our Chl data suggest that the chloramphenicol induced accumulation of the LHC complex in the mutant wheat results from enhanced processing of LHC into the membrane rather than impairment of LHC degradation. The photosystem I (PSI) fraction of the CD3 wheat mutant was examined relative to that of normal wheat after 3 days greening. PSI was deficient in 25, 26, 26.5 kD LHCI protein in the mutant but both wheats accumulated low quantities of the 27–29 kD LHCII protein as detected by Western blot analysis. Chloramphenicol enhanced accumulations of several LHCI proteins primarily near 25 kD in the mutant and the 27–29 kD LHCII protein in normal wheat. The fluorescence emission and absorbance spectra suggest that chloramphenicol enhances accumulations of dissociated LHC in the PSI preparation of normal and CD3 mutant wheat.A contribution of North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station.

Summary Irradiation of the principal photosystem II light-harvesting chlorophyll-protein antenna complex, LHC II, with high light intensities brings about a pronounced quenching of the chlorophyll fluorescence. Illumination of isolated thylakoids with high light intensities generates the formation of quenching centres within LHC II in vivo, as demonstrated by fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. In the isolated complex it is demonstrated that the light-induced fluorescence quenching: a) shows a partial, biphasic reversibility in the dark; b) is approximately proportional to the light intensity; c) is almost independent of temperature in the range 0–30°C; d) is substantially insensitive to protein modifying reagents and treatments; e) occurs in the absence of oxygen. A possible physiological importance of the phenomenon is discussed in terms of a mechanism capable of dissipating excess excitation energy within the photosystem II antenna.Abbreviations chla

Photosystem II (PS II) chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence lifetimes were measured in thylakoids and leaves of barley wild-type and chlorina f104 and f2 mutants to determine the effects of the PS II Chl a+b antenna size on the deexcitation of absorbed light energy. These barley chlorina mutants have drastically reduced levels of PS II light-harvesting Chls and pigment-proteins when compared to wild-type plants. However, the mutant and wild-type PS II Chl a fluorescence lifetimes and intensity parameters were remarkably similar and thus independent of the PS II light-harvesting antenna size for both maximal (at minimum Chl fluorescence level, Fo) and minimal rates of PS II photochemistry (at maximum Chl fluorescence level, Fm). Further, the fluorescence lifetimes and intensity parameters, as affected by the trans-thylakoid membrane pH gradient (pH) and the carotenoid pigments of the xanthophyll cycle, were also similar and independent of the antenna size differences. In the presence of a pH, the xanthophyll cycle-dependent processes increased the fractional intensity of a Chl a fluorescence lifetime distribution centered around 0.4–0.5 ns, at the expense of a 1.6 ns lifetime distribution (see Gilmore et al. (1995) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 92: 2273–2277). When the zeaxanthin and antheraxanthin concentrations were measured relative to the number of PS II reaction center units, the ratios of fluorescence quenching to [xanthophyll] were similar between the wild-type and chlorina f104. However, the chlorina f104, compared to the wild-type, required around 2.5 times higher concentrations of these xanthophylls relative to Chl a+b to obtain the same levels of xanthophyll cycle-dependent fluorescence quenching. We thus suggest that, at a constant pH, the fraction of the short lifetime distribution is determined by the concentration and thus binding frequency of the xanthophylls in the PS II inner antenna. The pH also affected both the widths and centers of the lifetime distributions independent of the xanthophyll cycle. We suggest that the combined effects of the xanthophyll cycle and pH cause major conformational changes in the pigment-protein complexes of the PS II inner or core antennae that switch a normal PS II unit to an increased rate constant of heat dissipation. We discuss a model of the PS II photochemical apparatus where PS II photochemistry and xanthophyll cycle-dependent energy dissipation are independent of the Peripheral antenna size.Abbreviations Ax

Chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence-temperature profile in the region of 20–80°C was recorded for fourteen different plant species. In all the species studied, there was a rise in the fluorescence intensity in the region of 45–50°C and around 55°C the fluorescence intensity started to decline. In four of the species (Acacia melanoxylon, Ervatamia montana, Eucalyptus tertecornius and Azardicta indica) tested, there was a secondary rise in the fluorescence intensity around 65–70°C whereas in all other species a sharp decline in the fluorescence intensity was observed at this point. These changes in the fluorescence intensity at high temperatures (65–70°C) appear to be species specific and cannot be explained either in terms of changes in the stoichiometry between the two photosystems or in terms of Chl a fluorescence emission from photosystem I (PS I) at higher temperatures. This conclusion is supported by following observations: (1) there was no definite correlation between the Chl a/Chl b ratio and the pattern of fluorescence-temperature profile at high temperatures; (2) the sun and shade plants of the same species had a similar pattern of fluorescence-temperature profile; and (3) preferential excitation of PS I did not alter the fluorescence-temperature profile.Abbreviations Chl

The chlorophyll (Chl) a-b light harvesting complex II (LHC II)contains more than 80% of the light-harvesting pigments of photosystemII (PS II) in chloroplasts. The supramolecular assembly andfunction of this auxiliary antenna system was investigated inChi b-deficient and Chi b-less mutant chloroplasts from soybeanand barley plants, and in their wild-type counterparts. Fourdistinct LHC II polypeptides were resolved by SDS-PAGE (subunitsa, b, c and d), having apparent molecular masses of 29, 28,27.2 and 26.8 kDa, respectively. The analysis of LHC II subunitcomposition in different developmental stages of the PS II unitin soybean (3>Chla/Chlbb>6), indicated the associationof specific subunits with the LHC H-inner and LHC II-peripheralin the chloroplast. The amount of subunit a in PS II was constantover a broad range of Chl a/Chl b ratios, suggesting that thissubunit is closely associated with the PS II-core complex. Subunitd also appeared to be constant over a wide range of Chl a/Chlb ratios, suggesting close association with the LHC II-inner.The PS II content in subunits b and c increased with the PSII antenna development in soybean but the ratio of b/c remainedconstant in all developmental stages and equal to 2 :1. Subunita was present in the Chl b-less chlorina f2 mutant of barleygrown under continuous illumination but was absent under intermittentillumination. The results suggest that each subunit binds 13-15Chl molecules. A working hypothesis is presented on the PS IIantenna development and LHC II subunit composition in soybeanchloroplasts.

Pigment exchanges among photosystem reaction centers (RCs) are useful for the identification and functional analysis of chromophores in photosynthetic organisms. Pigment replacement within the spinach Photosystem II RC was performed with Chl d derived from the oxygenic alga Acaryochloris marina, using a protocol similar to that reported previously [Gall et al. (1998) FEBS Lett 434: 88–92] based on the incubation of reaction centers with an excess of other pigments. In this study, we analyzed Chl d-modified monomeric RC which was separated from Chl d-modified dimeric RC by size-exclusion chromatography. Based on the assumption of a constant ratio of two Pheo a molecules per RC, the number of Chl a molecules in Chl d-modified monomeric RCs was found to decrease from six to four. The absorption spectrum of the Chl d-modified monomeric RC at room temperature showed a large peak at 699.5 nm originating from Chl d and a small peak at 672.5 nm orignating from Chl a. Photoaccumulation of the Pheo a− in Chl d-modified monomeric RC, in the presence of sodium dithionate and methyl viologen, did not differ significantly from that in control RC, showing that the Chl d-modified monomeric RC retains its charge separation activity and photochemically active Pheo a. 相似文献

Thylakoids isolated from cells of the red alga Porphyridium cruentum exhibit an increased PS I activity on a chlorophyll basis with increasing growth irradiance, even though the stoichiometry of Photosystems I and II in such cells shows little change (Cunningham et al. (1989) Plant Physiol 91: 1179–1187). PS I activity was 26% greater in thylakoids of cells acclimated at 280 mol photons · m–2 · s–1 (VHL) than in cells acclimated at 10 mol photons · m–2 · s–1 (LL), indicating a change in the light absorbance capacity of PS I. Upon isolating PS I holocomplexes from VHL cells it was found that they contained 132±9 Chl/P700 while those obtained from LL cells had 165±4 Chl/P700. Examination of the polypeptide composition of PS I holocomplexes on SDS-PAGE showed a notable decrease of three polypeptides (19.5, 21.0 and 22 kDa) in VHL-complexes relative to LL-complexes. These polypeptides belong to a novel LHC I complex, recently discovered in red algae (Wolfe et al. (1994a) Nature 367: 566–568), that lacks Chl b and includes at least six different polypeptides. We suggest that the decrease in PS I Chl antenna size observed with increasing irradiance is attributable to changes occurring in the LHC I-antenna complex. Evidence for a Chl-binding antenna complex associated with PS II core complexes is lacking at this point. LHC II-type polypeptides were not observed in functionally active PS II preparations (Wolfe et al. (1994b) Biochimica Biophysica Acta 1188: 357–366), nor did we detect polypeptides that showed immunocross-reactivity with LHC II specific antisera (made to Chlamydomonas and Euglena LHC II).Abbreviations Bis-Tris

Photosynthetic Characteristics of Chloroplasts of Primary Wheat Leaves Grown under Different Irradiance 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The rate of accumulation of total chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoids (Car) of leaves grown under high irradiance, HI (30 and 45 W m–2) was faster than at moderate irradiance, MI (15 W m–2). However, the senescence phase started earlier in the samples and proceeded at a faster rate. Chl a/b and Chl (a+b)/Car values showed faster loss of Chl a (compared to Chl b) and Chl (a+b) (compared to Car) in HI leaves. Protein accumulation and loss were also similar to that of Chl (a+b) content. Increase in Chl fluorescence during the development phase may suggest a gradual change in thylakoid organisation, however, the temporal kinetics were different in HI and MI samples. Increase in fluorescence polarisation during senescence of HI leaves compared to the control (MI) suggests conversion of thylakoid membranes to gel phase. Chloroplasts prepared from HI seedlings showed higher rate of photochemical activities, however, the activity declined earlier and at faster rate compared to the control. 相似文献

The absorption (640–710 nm) and fluorescence emission (670–710 nm) spectra (77 K) of wild-type and Chl b-less, mutant, barley chloroplasts grown under either day or intermittent light were analysed by a RESOL curve-fitting program. The usual four major forms of Chl a at 662, 670, 678 and 684 nm were evident in all of the absorption spectra and three major components at 686, 693 and 704 nm in the emission spectra. A broad Chl a component band at 651 nm most likely exists in all chlorophyll spectra in vivo. The results show that the mutant lacks not only Chl b, but also the Chl a molecules which are bound to the light-harvesting, Chl a/b, protein complex of normal plants. It also appears that the absorption spectrum of this antenna complex is not modified appreciably by its isolation from thylakoid membranes.Abbreviations Chl

A chlorophyll b-less mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Pg
27) was isolated after UV irradiation of the wild type cells. This photosynthetically competent mutant totally lacks chlorophyll b and the CP2 chlorophyll-protein complex. However, SDS-PAGE, proteolytic digestions and immunodetections demonstrated that the 24–25 Kd apoproteins of the lacking CP2 complex are still present in thylakoids of the Pg27 mutant. It is concluded that this CP2-less mutant is affected in the biosynthesis pathway of chlorophyll b.This CP2-less mutant was crossed with a CP1-less mutant (Fl5) Fluorescence emission spectra and fluorescence inductions in the presence of DCMU were analysed in the resulting (cp

Differences in PS 2 optical cross section and in the relative amplitude or localisation of fluorescence emission peaks fit well with a quadripartite model where PS1 and PS2 would each correspond to a reaction centre core complex (CP1 and CP2 respectively) associated to a light harvesting antenna (LHC1 and LHC2 respectively). The occurrence of energy transfers from PS1 peripheral antenna to PS2 in the Fl

Changes in lipid composition of Photosystem 1 (PS 1) particles isolated from thylakoids phosphorylated under reductive or anaerobic conditions have been studied. Under reductive conditions, there was an increase in monogalactosyldiacylglycerol containing highly saturated fatty acids and phosphatidylglycerol containing transhexadecenoic fatty acid. Under anaerobic conditions, the amount of all lipid classes was increased. As we have shown earlier (S. V. Manuilskaya, O. I. Volovik, A. I. Mikhno, A. I. Polischuk and S. M. Kochubey (1990) Photosynthetica 24: 419–423) these changes were due to a co-migration of some lipid species and light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b complex LHC II from PS 2 to PS 1. These data allow us to conclude that LHC II consists of the lipoproteins containing specific lipids. Different composition of lipids co-migrating with LHC II under various conditions of phosphorylation might be caused by the variety of LHC II subpopulations transferred under each reductive condition.Abbreviations PS 1

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

The nuclear-encoded Chl a/b and Chl a/c antenna proteins of photosynthetic eukaryotes are part of an extended family of proteins that also includes the early light-induced proteins (ELIPs) and the 22 kDa intrinsic protein of PS II (encoded by psbS gene). All members of this family have three transmembrane helices except for the psbS protein, which has four. The amino acid sequences of these proteins are compared and related to the three-dimensional structure of pea LHC II Type I (Kühlbrandt and Wang, Nature 350: 130–134, 1991). The similarity of psbS to the three-helix members of the family suggests that the latter arose from a four-helix ancestor that lost its C-terminal helix by deletion. Strong internal similarity between the two halves of the psbS protein suggests that it in turn arose as the result of the duplication of a gene encoding a two-helix protein. Since psbS is reported to be present in at least one cyanobacterium, the ancestral four-helix protein may have been present prior to the endosymbiotic event or events that gave rise to the photosynthetic eukaryotes. The Chl a/b and Chl a/c antenna proteins, and the immunologically-related proteins in the rhodophytes may have had a common ancestor which was present in the early photosynthetic eukaryotes, and predated their division into rhodophyte, chromophyte and chlorophyte lineages. The LHC I-LHC II divergence probably occurred before the separation of higher plants from chlorophyte algae and euglenophytes, and the different Types of LHC I and LHC II proteins arose prior to the separation of angiosperms and gymnosperms.Abbreviations CAB

The functional site of ChlZ, an auxiliary electron donor to P680+, was determined by pulsed ELDOR applied to a radical pair of YD• and Chlz+ in oriented PS II membranes from spinach. The radical-radical distance was determined to be 29.5 Å and its direction was 50° from the membrane normal, indicating that a chlorophyll on the D2 protein is responsible for the EPR Chlz+ signal. Spin polarized ESEEM (Electronin Spin Echo Envelop Modulation) of a 3Chl and QA− radical pair induced by a laser flash was observed in reaction center D1D2Cytb559 complex, in which QA was functionally reconstituted with DBMIB and reduced chemically. QA−ESEEM showed a characteristic oscillating time profile due to dipolar coupling with 3Chl. By fitting with the dipolar interaction parameters, the distance between 3Chl and QA− was determined to be 25.9 Å, indicating that the accessory chlorophyll on the D1 protein is responsible for the 3Chl signal. 相似文献
