Their accumulations were dependent on the light intensity to which the leaves had been subjected. Further immunoblot analysis indicated that 70 kD aggregate was a prod- uct of D1 protein cross-linked with CP43, 65 and 60 kD aggregate were two cross-linked products be- tween D1 and D2 proteins, and 41 kD aggregate was one cross-linked D1 with α-subunit of cytochrome b559 (Cyt b559). This result provided the evidence for the existence of the aggregation of the D1 protein in vivo. The maximal level of D1/Cyt b559 aggregate occurred at 1000 μmol photons·m?2·s?1 but drastically decreased with further increasing light intensity. Im- munoblot analysis with phosphothreonine (Thr (P)) antibody indicated that D1/CP43 and D1/Cyt b559 aggregates contained the phosphorylated protein(s). In vitro dephosphorylation experiment also showed that D1/Cyt b559 and D1/CP43 aggregates lost the immunoreactivity with Thr (P) antibody after the phosphatase treatment of the membranes from high-light-illuminated leaves. Our results demon- strated that strong illumination of spinach leaves in- duced cross-linked products of D1 protein with its nearby polypeptides of PS Ⅱ , some of which con- tained the phosphorylated D1 protein.展开更多

Pure theoretical approaches are employed to investigate that the surface plasmon could easily be coupled and both the reflection and transmission curves versus the incident intensity forms optical bistability. The transmission curves are greatly influenced by the thickness of the second silver film. These results may be useful for designing novel surface plasmon-based optical devices and will be essential for future classical and quantum information processes.展开更多
