Nitric oxide and membrane lipid peroxidation in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic organisms under several stress conditions
INTRODUCTION Oxidative damage to lipids was characterized in terms of the nature of the oxidant, the type of lipid, and the severity of the oxidation (Simontacchi et al., 2011). Even though malondialdehyde detection with the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances test (TBARS) is the most currently used assay for the determination of lipid oxidation, it is unspecific since the reaction can be r...
متن کاملEvolution of Carotenoid and Isoprenoid Biosynthesis in Photosynthetic and Non-photosynthetic Organisms
Sterols and carotenoids are typical representatives of the group of isoprenoid lipids in plants. All isoprenoids are synthesized by condensation of the two active C5-units: dimethylallyl diphosphate, DMAPP, and isopentenyl diphosphate, IPP. Like animals, higher plants form their sterols via the classical cytosolic acetate/mevalonate (MVA) pathway of IPP biosynthesis. Plants as photosynthetic or...

In each case the complexes were suspended in 20rn~-Tris/HCl (pH 8.0)/0.1% LDAO (v/v). The circles indicate where the recording spectrophotometer stopped and the spectra were continued point by point in another machine. (a) Complexes from strain 7750 grown at 2000k: 0, type 1 B800-850; 0, RC-B880. (b) Complexes from strain 7050 grown at 4001~: 0, type 2 B800-850; this spectrum was raised to make...
متن کاملStructure diversity of nitric oxide synthases (NOS): the emergence of new forms in photosynthetic organisms
NO SYNTHESIS FROM MAMMALIAN AND PHOTOSYNTHETIC ORGANISMS Humans have enormously increased the level of nitrogen (N) circulating in the troposphere and the earth surface during the last century, correlating with the population increase. As an undesirable consequence, high levels of reactive N are polluting the environment where humans inhabit. Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the reactive N species w...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Light Stress Proteins in Photosynthetic Organisms
The Elip (early light-inducible protein) family in pro- and eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms consists of more than 100 different stress proteins. These proteins accumulate in photosynthetic membranes in response to light stress and have photoprotective functions. At the amino acid level, members of the Elip family are closely related to light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding (Cab) antenna ...
