Abstract: | Thylakoids obtained from intact spinach chloroplasts showedno superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, but Cu,Zn- and Mn-SODactivities were detected in the presence of Triton X-100. Thylakoidmembranes and the lumen fraction were separated by centrifugationafter treatment of the thylakoids with a Yeda pressure cell.Cu,Zn-SOD was found in the lumen fraction. Mn-SOD was detectedin the thylakoid fraction only after addition of 1% Triton X-100.Antibody against spinach Cu,Zn-SOD did not interact with thelatent Cu,Zn-SOD in the thylakoids unless Triton was added.These results indicate that Cu,Zn-SOD occurs in the lumen inaddition to the stroma of spinach chloroplasts, and Mn-SOD bindsto the thylakoid membranes.
