丙二醛对菠菜叶片中光合羧化酶和细胞保护酶活性的影响

经丙二醛(MDA)处理的菠菜(Spinacia oleracea L.)叶片无细胞提取物中的三种与光合作用碳素还原环有关的酶 RuBPC、PEPC、GAPDH 和三种能防御活性氧毒害的酶 SOD、CAT 和 POD 的活性皆有不同程度的降低。在较低浓度的 MDA 影响下,RuBPC/O 和 GAPDH的活性已受到明显的抑制。MDA 对纯 POD(辣根)和 CAT(牛肝)的活性同样具有抑制作用,其作用是不可逆的。CAT 与 MDA 的反应引起吸收峰向长波方向漂移。半胱氨酸对 HR-POD 活性的下降具有部分保护作用。结果认为体内积累 MDA 时,由于 MDA 对酶的损伤作用,可能导致细胞代谢的进一步紊乱。     

内源吲哚乙酸、脱落酸和赤霉酸与棉铃发育及脱落的关系

气相色谱分析的结果表明,开花后5～6天,不受精即将脱落棉铃里IAA和ABA的含量显著高于对照;GA_3处理的铃中IAA和ABA的含量则明显低于对照。IAA和GA_3含量在开花后第10天达到高峰,以后迅速下降,至第30天。又出现第二峰胚珠和纤维里尤为明显。ABA含量在开花后第15天达得高峰,以后下降,到第30天,又逐渐上升。棉纤维伸长及干重增加的最快速率与这三种激素的含量高峰密切相关。     

PHOTOCHEMICAL ACTIVITIES OF SONICATED LAMELLAE OF SPINACH CHLOROPLASTS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE ACTION OF CRS (CYTOCHROME C REDUCING SUBSTANCE)

The photooxidation of reduced DPIP with NADP and O₂ as finalelectron acceptors was studied with sonicated lamellae of spinachchloroplasts, with special reference to the possible role ofCRS, a newly discovered factor of photochemical system I. Acorrelation between inactivation of NADP-photoreduction anddissolution of CRS was observed on treatment of the lamellaewith various organic solvents. The treatment also suppressedthe O₂-linked photooxidation of reduced DPIP, although the suppressionwas not so marked as in the former reaction. The suppressedphotooxidation of reduced DPIP (with O₂ and NADP as electronacceptors) was partially restored on addition of dyes of negativeredox potential, such as methyl viologen. The experimental resultsindicate that a factor participates in the reactions of photochemicalsystem I, probably functioning as an electron carrier couplingthe photooxidation of P700 with the reduction of ferredoxinor O₂. The finding that the above mentioned activity of thefactor is destroyed by treatments which are effective in solubilizingCRS from the chloroplasts suggests the identity of the factorwith CRS. ¹ Present address: Nomura Research Institute of Technology andEconomics, Kamakura, Kanagawa.     

EFFECT OF LIPASE-DIGESTION ON PHOTOCHEMICAL ACTIVITIES OF ISOLATED CHLOROPLASTS

In order to elucidate the role of lipids in photosynthesis,chloroplasts were digested with lipase, and the effect of lipase-digestionon some photochemical activities was studied. The HILL reactionwas sensitive to the digestion, but chloroplasts having intactmembrane were somewhat resistant to the action of lipase. Theinactivation by lipase digestion seems to be due to the destructionof a component necessary for the Hill reaction to proceed. Thechloroplasts treated with lipase showed the following activities. (1) Active photooxidation of reduced cytochrome c and menadione. (2) Photooxidation of ascorbate, which was enhanced in the presenceof DPIP, and retarded in the absence of the dye. (3) NADP-photoreduction in the presence of the DPIP-ascorbatecouple, as the electron donor. These facts suggested that the site attacked with lipase wasresponsible for the photochemical oxygen evolution. The decrease in the fluorescence intensity of chlorophyll awas also observed during the digestion. ¹Present address : Biological Laboratory, General EducationDeparment, Kyushu University, Otsubo-machi, Fukuoka.     

干旱胁迫下不同抗旱性小麦叶片内源激素含量的变化与抗旱力强弱的关系

以抗旱性强的小麦品种昌乐5号和抗旱性弱的鲁麦5号的幼苗为材料,研究了随着干旱胁迫的加剧,小麦叶片相对含水量、气孔导度和内源激素水平的变化．结果表明,叶片的气孔导度和细胞激动素与脱落酸含量的比值（CTKs/ABA）呈较强的线性正相关关系而与叶片RWC的相关关系较弱,说明气孔导度受CTKs/ABA调控,而不是受叶片RWC的调控．在不同强度的干旱胁迫下我们可以利用CTKs/ABA的变化判断品种抗旱性大小：①抗旱力强的小麦品种叶片的平均CTKs/ABA值较高,而弱者较低,说明强者内源促进型激素含量相对较高,从而在干旱胁迫下保持较高的生活力．②抗旱力强的小麦品种叶片CTKs/ABA与干旱处理天数呈二次负相关关系,而弱者是线性负相关关系,说明强者具有较强的抗逆缓冲能力．③抗旱力强的小麦品种成熟叶（第二叶）CTKs／ABA下降快,新叶（第三叶）下降慢,而弱者反之,说明抗旱性强者可能存在着较强的从成熟叶向新叶的物质运输从而具有自我保护性调节机制．     

叶片预照光对光合磷酸化和电子传递偶联效率的促进作用

菠菜叶片经预照光处理后提取的叶绿体,不但光合磷酸化活力增加,而且偶联效率P/O也提高,其提高P/O的作用与多粘菌素的作用不能叠加,叶片预照光可能通过使偶联因子产生漏能减少的变构而提高p/O的。用两阶段光合磷酸化法测得叶片预照光,在促进光合磷酸化时也能促进高能态积累。用CF_1抗体,NEM和五羟黄酮等处理叶绿体的研究表明,叶片预照光引起CF_1的构象变化——γ,亚单位上的SH基内埋而α.β亚单位上的催化中心却更加暴露。活体中的P/O值也许会比一般离体的高。     

COMPARATIVE STUDIES OF PHOTOCHEMICAL OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTIONS IN LAMELLAR FRAGMENTS OF VARIOUS ALGAE AND SPINACH

The activity of various electron carriers, including DPIP, spinachplastocyanin, mammalian cytochrome c, and Anabaena cytochrome553, as donor in the reaction induced by the photochemical systemI was examined with lamellar fragments of various algae andspinach. Reduced DPIP was an effective electron donor irrespective ofthe organisms, when it was supplied at a high concentration(10^–3 M). Spinach plastocyanin was effective in the reactionswith the lamellae of green algae, Euglena, diatom Phaeodactyrumand red algae Porphyra yezoensis and Porphyra sp. Yamamoto II,whereas it was inactive in the lamellae of blue-green algae.Horse-heart cytochrome c and Anabaena cytochrome 553 were activein the reaction with the lamellae of bluegreen algae. The formercytochrome was also active in the reactions in Porphyridiumand Cyanidium. The cytochromes were less active in the reactionsin which spinach plastocyanin acted as effective electron donor. The data were interpreted as that the photochemical system Iin bluegreen algae differs from that of other photosyntheticorganisms with respect to the properties of the site of theelectron-input. ¹ Present address: Nomura Research Institute for Technologyand Economics, Kamakura, Kanagawa. ² Present address: Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo,Nakano, Tokyo.     

FLUORESCENCE YIELD OF CHLOROPHYLL A AND PHOTOCHEMICAL ACTIVITIES OF ISOLATED CHLOROPLASTS

1. Effect of various treatments on the fluorescence yield of chlorophyllo in isolated chloroplasts was studied in relation to the activitiesof the HILL reaction and the ascorbate photooxidation.
2. CMUand o-phenanthroline showed no appreciable effect on thefluorescenceyield at the concentration which completely inhibited the HILLreaction.
3. 0.01% SDS was sufficient to inactivate the HILLreaction completelyand caused a 40% decrease in the fluorescenceyield, althoughno shift of the absorption and fluorescencebands could be observed.At higher concentrations of SDS, thefluorescence yield increasedby more than three times the originalvalue and the absorptionand fluorescence bands shifted by 5rap toward the shorter wavelengthside.
4. Ultraviolet irradiation,incubation at pH 9.2, heating at 40and digestion with trypsinresulted in loss of the HILL activityand decrease of the fluorescenceyield.
5. The DPIP-mediated photooxidation of ascorbate was enhancedbyheating broken chloroplasts at 55 for 5 min, and inactivatedat 70. The photooxidation of ascorbate in the absence of thedye was inhibited by 60% on heating at 55. The o-phenanthroline-sensitivephotooxidation of ascorbate was inactivated at 55. The o-phenanthroline-resistantphotooxidation of ascorbate was rather thermostable. The fluorescenceyield was reduced by 40–50% at 55.

LIGHT-INDUCED VOLUME CHANGES IN SPINACH CHLOROPLASTS

A light-dependent mechanism that results in a slow, high-amplitude swelling of spinach chloroplasts in vitro has been discovered. The swelling is readily observed by optical and gravimetric methods, and by the use of an electronic particle counter; all show a 100 per cent increase of chloroplast volume in the light with an approximately 10-minute half-time. The existence of an osmotic mechanism for chloroplast swelling in the dark is confirmed. The volume of illuminated chloroplasts versus NaCl concentration represents the addition of osmotic and light effects. The action of light is enhanced by electron flow cofactors, such as phenazine methosulfate (PMS). However, neither conditions for ATP hydrolysis or synthesis nor NH₄Cl influence the time course and extent of swelling. Hence, high-amplitude chloroplast swelling is light- (or electron flow), but not energy-dependent. A remarkable inhibitory effect of inorganic phosphate on chloroplast swelling is observed in the light, but not in the dark. Another action of light on chloroplasts is known to result in a shrinkage of chloroplasts which is rapid, reversible, energy-dependent, and requires phosphate. Thus phosphate determines the action of light on chloroplast volume. Since shrinkage is reversible, but swelling is not, it may be that they reflect physiological and deteriorative processes, respectively. Chloroplasts and mitochondria appear to control their volume by similar mechanisms.     

EFFECT OF {alpha}-HYDROXYSULFONATES ON PHOTOCHEMICAL REACTIONS OF SPINACH CHLOROPLASTS AND PARTICIPATION OF GLYOXYLATE IN PHOTOPHOSPHORYLATION

1. The effect of -hydroxy sulfonates and sulfite, inhibitors ofglycolate oxidase, on the photochemical reactions of spinachchloroplasts was studied. The photo reduction of ferricyanideand NADP was not affected by the poisons, whereas the photophosphorylationand ¹⁴CO₂ fixation were inhibited.
2. Glyoxylate was photoreducedby the chloroplasts in the presenceof PPNR and glyoxylate reductase,and this reduction was acceleratedby the addition of NADP.ATP formation accompanied with thereduction of glyoxylate bythe illuminated chloroplasts wasobserved. It is supposed thatglyoxylate oxidizes the photoreducedNADPH₂ or PPNR and thusthe photophosphorylation is stimulated.

Starch Degradation in Spinach Leaves: ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE AMYLASES AND R-ENZYME OF SPINACH LEAVES

The properties of two amylase activities which differ in their substrate specificity and subcellular location as well as a chloroplast-associated R-enzyme (debranching activity) are reported. An extrachloroplastic amylase is resolved by gel filtration chromatography into two activities of 80,000 and 40,000 daltons. Both extrachloroplastic activities hydrolyze amylopectin and shellfish glycogen and only slowly hydrolyze rabbit liver glycogen, β-limit amylopectin, and amylose. In contrast, the major chloroplastic amylase attacks all of these glucans at comparable rates. Glucan hydrolysis by both the extrachloroplastic and chloroplastic amylase generates not only maltose but appreciable amounts of other oligosaccharides, whereas maltotetraose hydrolysis produces glucose, maltose, and maltotriose. The action patterns displayed by the amylase activities indicate that both are endoamylases, although they lack the typical Ca²⁺ requirement or heat stability of seed endosperm α-amylases. Dithiothreitol, glutathione (oxidized or reduced), ascorbate, dehydroascorbate, and dithiothreitol plus thioredoxin have no effect on either the chloroplastic or extrachloroplastic amylase activities.     

脂氧合酶对黄瓜叶片光合电子传递活性的影响

黄瓜（Ｃｕｃｕｍ ｉｓｓａｔｉｖｕｓＬ．）叶片的光合作用与电子传递活性随叶片衰老而降低,脂氧合酶（Ｌｏｘ）活性则相应增高。大豆Ｌｏｘ－１ 抑制黄瓜子叶分离的叶绿体ＰＳⅡ电子传递活性,没食子酸丙酯（ＰＧ）或槲皮酮（ＰＦ）能消除这种抑制作用。二氯苯二甲脲（ＤＣＭＵ）或２,３－二溴百里香醌（ＤＢＭＩＢ）存在时,大豆Ｌｏｘ－１ 对ＰＳⅡ电子传递活性有抑制作用,加入ＰＧ 使活性恢复到接近原有水平。二苯卡巴肼（ＤＰＣ）对经Ｌｏｘ－１ 处理的叶绿体ＰＳⅡ电子传递活性有明显恢复作用。Ｌｏｘ－１ 使Ｃｈｌａ室温荧光Ｆｍ 降低,ＤＰＣ则能轻微恢复Ｆｍ 。可见,ＰＳⅡ氧化侧、Ｑ与ＰＱ 位点都对Ｌｏｘ－１ 的作用敏感。Ｌｏｘ－１ 对叶绿体色素的漂白作用,以及活性氧对ＰＳⅡ电子传递活性的抑制,可能是Ｌｏｘ 影响光合膜功能的重要原因之一
