突变的叶绿体ATP合成酶ε亚基对菠菜叶绿体毫秒延迟发光的影响

突变和野生型叶绿体ＡＴＰ 合成酶的ε亚基均可增强叶绿体毫秒延迟发光的快相;不同的突变体对快相的增强强度不同,但与它们对离体ＣＦ１ 的Ｃａ２＋ＡＴＰ酶水解活力的抑制程度情况一致。且这种影响在１ ℃左右的低温下较显著,而温度升至２５ ℃时,这种增强作用趋于消失。加入解联剂后,快相部分消除,ε亚基仍有增强作用。这些结果说明,ε亚基是通过与ＣＦ１ 的专一作用而影响光系统Ⅱ附近类囊体膜的动态结构, 使质子不易从类囊体膜上流失,质子动力势较难被解联剂所去除     

Using yeast two-hybrid system to detect interactions of ATP synthase subunits from Spinacia oleracea

Subunit interactions among the chloroplast ATP synthase subunits were studied using the yeast two-hybrid system. Various pairwise combinations of genes encoding a, p, y, 8 and e subunits of Spinach ATP synthase fused to the binding domain or activation domain of GAL4 DNA were introduced into yeast and then expression of a reporter gene encoding p-galactosidase was detected. Of all the combinations, that of y and e subunit genes showed the highest level of reporter gene expression, while those of a and p, a and e, p and e and p and 8 induced stable and significant reporter gene expression. The combination of 8 and e as well as that of 8 and y induced weak and unstable reporter gene expression. However, combinations of a and y, p and y and a and 8 did not induce reporter gene expression. These results suggested that specific and strong interactions between y and e, a and p, a and e, p and e and p and 8 subunits, and weak and transient interactions between 8 and e and 8 and y subunits occurred in the yeast     

ATP合酶:自然界最小的旋转发动机

ＡＴＰ合酶广泛存在于线粒体、叶绿体、原核藻、异养菌和光合细菌中,是生物体能量代谢的关键酶。该酶分别位于类囊体膜、质膜或线粒体内膜上,参与氧化磷酸化与光合磷酸化反应,在跨膜质子动力势的推动下催化合成生物体的能量“通货”——ＡＴＰ。ＡＴＰ合酶的Ｆ０部分比...     

突变的叶绿体ATP合成酶ε亚基对菠菜叶绿体毫秒延迟发光的影响

突变和野生型体ＡＴＰ合成酶的ε亚基均可增强中绿体毫秒延迟发光的快相;不同的突变体对快相的增强强度不同,但与它们对离体ＣＦ１的Ｃａ＾２＋－ＡＴＰ酶水解活力的抑制程度情况一致。且这种影响在１℃左右的低温下较显著,而温度升至２５℃时,这种增强作用趋于消失。加入解联剂后快相部分消除,ε亚基仍有增强作用。这些结果说明,ε亚基是通过与ＣＦ１的专一作用而影响光系统Ⅱ附近类囊体的动态结构,使质子不易从类囊体膜上流     

高等植物叶绿体ATP合酶ε亚基的结构与功能

ε亚基是叶绿体ATP合酶最小的一个亚基,有阻塞ATP合酶的质子通道和抑制其水解ATP活力的两种功能.用定点突变和缺失等分子生物学方法对ε亚基的结构功能进行了研究,结果表明:ε亚基42位上的苏氨酸(Thr42)对维持其结构和功能都很重要.与大肠杆菌ATP合酶相比,叶绿体ATP合酶ε亚基C端和N端的氨基酸残基缺失对其结构功能的影响更为敏感.     

用酵母双杂交系统检测菠菜叶绿体ATP合酶CF1各亚基间的相互作用

将菠菜叶绿体ATP合酶CF1的5种亚基基因分别插入到质粒pGBT9和pGAD424,双转化入酵母菌株,用酵母双杂交系统检测菠菜叶绿体CF1各亚基间的相互作用.结果显示CF1的5种亚基中,γ与ε亚基有较强的相互作用;α与β,α与ε,β与ε,β与δ亚基间也有稳定的相互作用;γ与δ,δ与ε亚基间有微弱的或短暂的相互作用;而α与γ,α与δ,β与γ等亚基间在酵母双杂交系统中没有相互作用.这些结果有助于研究ATP合酶在催化过程中的结构变化和亚基间的相互关系.
