Supramolecular organization of the photosynthetic apparatus of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
Native tubular membranes were purified from the purple non-sulfur bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. These tubular structures contain all the membrane components of the photosynthetic apparatus, in the relative ratio of one cytochrome bc1 complex to two reaction centers, and approximately 24 bacteriochlorophyll molecules per reaction center. Electron micrographs of negative-stained membranes di...
متن کاملThe photosynthetic apparatus of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
Functional and ultrastructural studies have indicated that the components of the photosynthetic apparatus of Rhodobacter sphaeroides are highly organized. This organization favors rapid electron transfer that is unimpeded by reactant diffusion. The light-harvesting complexes only partially surround the photochemical reaction center, which ensures an efficient shuttling of quinones between the p...
متن کاملFunctional consequences of the organization of the photosynthetic apparatus in Rhodobacter sphaeroides: II. A study of PufX- membranes.
In the bacterium R. sphaeroides, the polypeptide PufX is indispensable for photosynthetic growth. Its deletion is known to have important consequences on the organization of the photosynthetic apparatus. In the wild-type strain, complexes between the reaction center (RC) and the antenna (light-harvesting complex 1 (LH1)) are associated in dimers, and LH1 does not fully encircle the RC. In the a...
متن کاملThioredoxin is involved in oxygen-regulated formation of the photosynthetic apparatus of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
Thioredoxin, a redox active protein, has been previously demonstrated to be essential for growth of the anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. In the present study, the involvement of thioredoxin in the formation of the photosynthetic apparatus of R. sphaeroides WS8 was investigated by construction and analysis of a mutant strain disrupted for the chromosomal trxA copy and...
