The chlorophyll aII reaction in trypsin-treated spinach chloroplasts in the presence of potassium ferricyanide.
نویسنده
چکیده
In trypsin-treated spinach chloroplasts there is no linear electron flow from water to potassium ferricyanide. The chlorophyll aII reaction, however, is still active but insensitive to 3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea. From this we conclude that ferricyanide and trypsin together stimulate a mini-cycle in photosystem II.

Indirect evidence for a very fast recovery kinetics of chlorophyll-aII in spinach chloroplasts.
The 690 nm absorption change reflecting the turnover of the system-II-reaction center chlorophyll, Chl-aII (often referred to as P 680), has been investigated under different experimental conditions in spinach chloroplasts. A comparison was made with oxygen evolution and with absorption changes of Chl-aI measured at 703 nm, both indicating the number of electrons produced by system II. It was f...
متن کاملMechanism of the Photochemical Activity of Isolated Chloroplasts: VII. Inactivation of a Photoact by Dilute Ferricyanide Ion.
Destructive effects of the most commonly used Hill oxidant, ferricyanide ion, are well documented and include its acceleration of the second order inactivation process in isolated chloroplasts (3). Concentrated ferricyanide (50 mM), especially at pH values above 7, rapidly uncoupled photophosphorylation in spinach chloroplasts (4), thus accounting for its increase in the light-independent rate ...
متن کاملThe effect of deoxycholate-treatment to the photoreactions of the active pigments in photosynthesis.
In the heavy fraction of deoxycholate-treated spinach chloroplasts the chlorophyll aII activity is high and the chlorophyll aI activity is low when no artificial electron donor is added. The addition of the photosystem I donor system N-methyl-phenazonium sulphate plus sodium ascorbate (PMS + Asc) leads to a complete reactivation of the chlorophyll aI reaction. The addition of the photosystem II...
متن کاملThe effects of high concentrations of salts on photosynthetic electron transport in spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts.
1. Photosynthetic electron transport from water to lipophilic Photosystem II acceptors was stimulated 3--5-fold by high concentrations (greater than or equal to 1 M) of salts containing anions such as citrate, succinate and phosphate that are high in the Hofmeister series. 2. In trypsin-treated chloroplasts, K3Fe(CN)6 reduction insensitive to 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea was strongly...
متن کاملLight-dependent modification of spinach chloroplast coupling factor 1 by permanganate ion.
Treatment of spinach chloroplasts with 25 to 100 pM potassium permanganate in the presence of light, magnesium, and ADP gives rise to 35 to 60% inhibition of the subsequent phosphorylation and ATPase activities. For half-maximal inhibition, 5 to 10 PM ADP is necessary and ADP is not replaceable by other nucleotides. The light requirement can be met by preillumination as well as by an acid bath ...
