Mechanism of KCN inhibition of photosystem I.
Experiments with chloroplasts and purified spinach plastocyanin suggest a mechanism for KCN inhibition of Photosystem I. KCN inhibition can be bypassed by a detergent or reversed by replacement of the inactive plastocyanin. KCN bleaches and inactivates purified plastocyanin. KCN releases copper from chloroplast membranes and from purified plastocyanin. Cyanide does not bind to the apoprotein pr...
متن کاملStructure of photosystem I.
In plants and cyanobacteria, the primary step in oxygenic photosynthesis, the light induced charge separation, is driven by two large membrane intrinsic protein complexes, the photosystems I and II. Photosystem I catalyses the light driven electron transfer from plastocyanin/cytochrome c(6) on the lumenal side of the membrane to ferredoxin/flavodoxin at the stromal side by a chain of electron c...
متن کاملChlorophyll proteins of photosystem I.
Data are presented which suggest the existence of a light-harvesting pigment-protein complex which is functionally and structurally associated with photosystem I (PSI) reaction centers. These observations are based on techniques which allow isolation of PSI using minimal concentrations of Triton X-100. Properties of density and self aggregation allowed purification of a "native" PSI complex.The...
متن کاملVibrational spectroscopy of photosystem I.
Fourier transform infrared difference spectroscopy (FTIR DS) has been widely used to study the structural details of electron transfer cofactors (and their binding sites) in many types of photosynthetic protein complexes. This review focuses in particular on work that has been done to investigate the A₁cofactor in photosystem I photosynthetic reaction centers. A review of this subject area last...
متن کاملI-17: The Mechanism of Gonadal Sex Determination
Background In mammals, a single exon gene SRY on the Y-chromosome is activated in the XY gonadal primordium and initiates a cascade of molecular and morphological events leading to testicular differentiation. SRY-encoded protein (SRY) is a transcription factor harboring a HMG-box DNAbinding motif that upregulates SOX9, which encodes another transcription factor sharing the DNA binding motif wit...
