Their normal temperature (298 K) resonance Raman spectra were measured. The results suggest that all β carotenoids bound to CP43 and CP47 are in all trans configuration and likely in twisted conformations.展开更多

Their low temperature fluorescence emission and excitation spectra, ultraviolet fluorescence spectra and absolute absorption spectra were presented. The author's purification methods, which enhanced the yield of pure protein and shorted the time for isolation, have several advantages: 1. use of oxygen_evolving PSⅡ core complexes as the starting material in order to avoid disturbing from other cytochromes; 2. isocratic elution of cytochrome b_559 from a DEAE_Sephacel column for eliminating the impurity and yielding the protein in pure state; 3. a simple column procedure for removal of excess Triton X_100. Purified cytochromes b_559 from these species have similar optical spectra and mobility during gel electrophoresis under native conditions. From the results of novel electrophoresis (Tricine_SDS_PAGE), cytochrome b_559 from both spinach and rice reveal two polypeptide bands (apparent molecular weight 9 kD and 4 kD, respectively). By measuring of 77 K fluorescence spectra, it was shown that for the purified cytochrome b_559 there were two excitation peaks at 439 nm and 413 nm, and two emission peaks at 563 nm and 668 nm. This is the first indication that Cyt b_559 is able to emit fluorescence and also transfer excited electrons to chlorophyll. By the use of ultraviolet fluorescence spectra, it was demonstrated for the first time that the location of Trp residue could be in the hydrophobic transmembrane region of cytochrome b_559.展开更多

Their dynamic fluorescence spectra were obtained with excitation wavelength 514.5 nm. For CP43, the emission spectrum was found to be from 640 to 780 nm with a peak at ～680 nm and the lifetime of fluorescence was 3.54 ns. For CP47, the emission spectrum was from 630 to 775 nm with a peak at ～691 nm and the fluorescence lifetime was 3.22 ns. The fluorescence emission efficiencies of Chl a in CP43 and CP47 were calculated to be approximately 38.3% and 40.6%, respectively. The energy transfer from β_Car to Chl a in CP43 and CP47 was discussed. The rates of energy transfer from β_Car to Chl a were measured to be about 9.6×10 11 s -1 and 1.3×10 12 s -1 and energy transfer efficiencies 47.5% and 66.5% respectively. The edge_edge distances between β_Car and Chl a in CP43 and CP47 were estimated to be ～0.110 nm and ～0.085 nm respectively.展开更多

According to the value of isomer shift and quadrupole splitting, they represented oxidized cytochrome b559 (Cyt_b559), reduced Cyt_b559, Fe 3+ _quinone (Q) complex, and Fe 2+ _Q complex respectively. After water_stress, the electron transport rate between Q A (primary quinone electron acceptor of PSⅡ)/Q B(secondary quinone electron acceptor of PSⅡ) was affected and the absorption doublets of Fe 2+ disappeared, suggesting that the reduced Cyt_b559 and Fe 2+ _Q complex had been oxidized. The results indicated that water_stress had changed the redox status of iron in the iron_quinone complex. Iron took part in electron transport through the change from a state of reduction to oxidation.展开更多

It was found that the temperature of semi-inactivation of oxygen evolution in the complex increased from 40.0 to about 43.0℃ in the presence of DGDG with 5-min heat treatment in the dark. Furthermore, when PS Ⅱ core complex was incubated for 5 min at 45.0℃, the oxygen evolution in the complex was completely lost, whilst the DGDG-complexed PS Ⅱ core complex still retained a 16% of activity (100% for 25.0℃). In addition, a 1-h incubation at 38.0℃ inactivated absolutely the oxygen evolution for the PS Ⅱ core complex. By contrast, there remained about 20% of activity (zero time for 100%) for the complex in the presence of DGDG under the same condition. These results indicate a new role of DGDG in the protection of PS Ⅱ core complex against the deleterious effects of temperature. It was展开更多

The complex was fairly active inDCIP photoreduction in the presence of DPC, and showed signal Ⅱs either in the dark or under illumination. The complex also contained manganese atoms. Its Mn^(2+)-EPR intensity decreased by about 40% under continuous illumination and recovered to the original level when the complex was transferred to the dark. The above results indicated that the complex reported here contains all of the PSII electron transport chain components from the secondary donor Z to the stable primary electron acceptor Q_A, and it is possible that the complex contains manganese binding sites. The alternation in dark and illumination can induce reversible valence changes of the manganese atoms in the purified complex.展开更多
