Abstract:Phosphon-D (tributyl-2, 4-dichlorobenzylphosphonium chloride), known as an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, enhances photosynthetic electron transport by up to 200%, with Fe(CN) 6 3- and NADP+ being the electron acceptors. Maximum stimulation is reached at phosphon-D concentrations around 2–5 mgrM. At the same time photosynthetic ATP formation is gradually inhibited. Phosphon-D concentrations over 0.1 mM inhibit electron transport. The uncoupling activity of phosphon-D is manifested by inhibition of noncyclic ATP synthesis and by stimulation of light-induced electron flow. The inhibition of ATP synthesis drastically decreases photosynthetic carbon assimilation in a reconstituted spinach chloroplast system. The two ATP-dependent kinase reactions of the reductive pentose phosphate cycle become the rate-limiting steps. On the other hand a stimulated photoelectron transport increases the NADPH/NADP+ ratio, resulting in a drastic inhibition of chloroplast glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), the key enzyme of the oxidative pentose phosphate cycle. When light-induced electron flow is inhibited by high phosphon-D concentrations and the NADPH/NADP+ ratio is low, the light-dependent inhibition of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is gradually abolished.Abbreviations AMO-1618 2-isopropyl-4-dimethylamino-5-methylphenyl-1-piperidinecarboxylate methyl chloride - B-Nine N-dimethylaminosuccinamic acid - CCC (2-chloroethyl)-trimethylammonium chloride - DCMU 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethyl urea - DCPIP dichlorophenolindophenol - G-6-PDH glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase - FBP fructose bisphosphate - F-6-P fructose-6-phosphate - 3-PGA 3-phosphoglyceric acid - Posphon-D tributyl-2,4-dichlorobenzylphosphonium chloride - PMP pentose monophosphates - PPC pentose phosphate cycle - RuBP ribulose bisphosphate - Ru-5-P ribulose-5-phosphate Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Drs.h.c.
