Polypeptide Composition of Photosynthetic Membranes from Chlamydomonas reinhardi and Anabaena variabilis.

چکیده
Anabaena variabilis, a blue-green alga lacking chlorophyll b, shows an absence of the major 22 and 24 kilodalton polypeptides which are present in the photosynthetic membranes of Chlamydomonas reinhardi and higher plants. These data are consistent with other investigations which have shown that these polypeptides are associated with chlorophyll b in the chloroplasts of higher plants, and indicate the presence of a light harvesting chlorophyll-protein complex in higher plants which contains the chlorophyll b of the photosynthetic membrane.

Directed mutagenesis of an iron-sulfur protein of the photosystem I complex in the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413.
In oxygenic photosynthetic organisms the PSI-C polypeptide, encoded by the psaC gene, provides the ligands for two [4Fe-4S] centers, FA and FB, the terminal electron acceptors in the photosystem I (PSI) complex. An insertion mutation introduced in the psaC locus of the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis ATCC 29413 resulted in the creation of a mutant strain, T398-1, that lacks the P...
متن کاملA Major Polypeptide of Chloroplast Membranes of Chlamydomonas Reinhardi
Electrophoresis of thylakoid membrane polypeptides from Chlamydomonas reinhardi revealed two major polypeptide fractions. But electrophoresis of the total protein of green cells showed that these membrane polypeptides were not major components of the cell. However, a polypeptide fraction whose characteristics are those of fraction c (a designation used for reference in this paper), one of the t...
متن کاملThe Kok Effect in Chlamydomonas reinhardil
A Haxo-Blinks rate-measuring oxygen electrode together with a modulated light source gave an average current signal (change in net Oa exchange) and a modulated current signal (photosynthetic 02 evolution). Using this apparatus, net 02 exchange and photosynthetic 02 evolution at low intensities have been studied in the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardi. At both 645 nm and 695 nm, the curves of...
متن کاملChloroplast Ultrastructure in Mutant Strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Lacking Components of the Photosynthetic Apparatus.
The fine structure of the chloroplast of wild-type and 9 photosynthetic mutant strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi is described. The chloroplast phenotypes of the mutant strains are clearly distinct from the wild type in all but 2 cases. Moreover, strains with similar photosynthetic disabilities have structurally similar chloroplasts. These differences are apparently not the result of altered ch...
متن کاملTrypsin-sensitive photosynthetic activities in chloroplast membranes from Chlamydomonas reinhardi, y-1.
Location of electron transport chain components in chloroplast membranes of chlamydomonas reinhardi, y-1 was investigated by use of proteolytic digestion with soluble or insolubilized trypsin. Digestion of intact membrane vesicles with soluble trypsin inactivates the water-splitting system, the 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea inhibition site of Photosystem II, the electron transport bet...
