The isolation of spinach chloroplasts in pyrophosphate media.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simplified procedure (involving disruption in sorbitol-pyrophosphate mixtures) permits the separation of spinach chloroplasts which retain the ability to catalyze the photosynthetic assimilation of carbon dioxide and its associated oxygen evolution.

Localization of ATP Sulfurylase and O-Acetylserine(thiol)lyase in Spinach Leaves.
The intracellular compartmentation of ATP sulfurylase and O-acetylserine(thiol)lyase in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves has been investigated by isolation of organelles and fractionation of protoplasts. ATP sulfurylase is located predominantly in the chloroplasts, but is also present in the cytosol. No evidence was found for ATP sulfurylase activity in the mitochondria. Two forms of ATP s...
متن کاملAmino acid dependent exchange between pyrophosphate and adenosine triphosphate in spinach preparations.
Chloroplasts have been considered primarily as the site of light-catalyzed CO2 fixation and photosynthetic phosphorylation. The present investigation was initiated in order to obtain further information on the question of protein synthesis as an integral function of chloroplasts. Towards this end a study was made of the activation of amino acids, a reaction generally regarded as the first step ...
متن کاملReversible swelling and contraction of isolated spinach chloroplasts.
By use of a micro technique for producing extracts of spinach mesophyll cells, chloroplasts were isolated in a state wherein they displayed microscopically visible, reversible osmotic properties. Swollen spherical chloroplasts treated with hypertonic sucrose or mannitol media, but not NaCl, could be shrunken to a state resembling their disk appearance in living cells. Reversible osmotic behavio...
متن کاملThe Degree of CF1 Release and the Reconstituting Capacity of the Depleted Membranes *
Uncoupling of photophosphorylation was shown in chloroplasts from spinach which were iso lated in media containing pyrophosphate and thereafter suspended in salt-free solutions. The effective concentration of pyrophosphate to uncouple was determined by the addition of pyrophos phate to free thylakoid systems and shown to be dependent on the presence of the completely dissociated species which...
متن کاملComparison with Translocators from Spinach Chloroplasts and Pea Leaf Mitochondria
The kinetic properties of the adenosine 5’-diphosphate/adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ADP/ATP) translocator from pea (Pisum sativum l.) root plastids were determined by silicone oi l filtering centrifugation and compared with those of spinach (Spinacia oleracea 1.) chloroplasts and pea leaf mitochondria. In addition, the ADP/ATP transporting activities from the above organelles were reconstituted i...
