Separation of Mg-Protoporphyrin IX and Mg-Protoporphyrin IX Monomethyl Ester Synthesized de novo by Developing Cucumber Etioplasts.
High pressure liquid chromatography was used to demonstrate that chelation of Mg(2+) into protoporphyrin IX precedes methylation in isolated greening etioplasts from cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. var. Beit Alpha) cotyledons. Mg-protoporphyrin IX synthesized in vitro from protoporphyrin IX, Mg(2+), and ATP or exogenous Mg-protoporphyrin IX could serve as substrates for the methylation step. In ei...
متن کاملMg-Protoporphyrin IX Signals Enhance Plant’s Tolerance to Cold Stress
The relationship between Mg-protoporphyrin IX (Mg-Proto IX) signals and plant's tolerance to cold stress is investigated. Arabidopsis seedlings grown for 3 weeks were pretreated with 2 mM glutamate (Glu) and 2 mM MgCl2 for 48 h at room temperature to induce Mg-Proto IX accumulation. Then cold stress was performed at 4°C for additional 72 h. Glu + MgCl2 pre-treatments alleviated the subsequent c...
متن کاملChloroplast Biogenesis 65 : Enzymic Conversion of Protoporphyrin IX to Mg-Protoporphyrin IX in a Subplastidic Membrane Fraction of Cucumber Etiochloroplasts.
The preparation from Percoll-purified cucumber (Cucumis sativus)etiochloroplasts of a subplastidic membrane fraction that is capable of high rates of Mg insertion into protoporphyrin IX is described. The plastid stroma was inactive when used either alone or in combination with the membrane fraction. Successful preparation of the subplastidic membrane fraction required that Mg-protoporphyrin che...
متن کاملSimultaneous liquid-chromatographic determination of zinc protoporphyrin IX, protoporphyrin IX, and coproporphyrin in whole blood.
We describe a method for simultaneously measuring concentrations of coproporphyrin, zinc protoporphyrin IX, and protoporphyrin IX in whole blood by liquid chromatography, with use of reversed-phase ion-pair system, fluorometric detection, and internal standardization. Each analysis requires 10 microL of whole blood and 15 min total analysis time. Analytical recovery ranged from 84 to 92%, day-t...
متن کاملMutation in Mg-Protoporphyrin IX Monomethyl Ester Cyclase Decreases Photosynthesis Capacity in Rice
In photosynthesis, the pigments chlorophyll a/b absorb light energy to convert to chemical energy in chloroplasts. Though most enzymes of chlorophyll biosynthesis from glutamyl-tRNA to chlorophyll a/b have been identified, the exact composition and regulation of the multimeric enzyme Mg-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester cyclase (MPEC) is largely unknown. In this study, we isolated a rice pale-...
