The Effect of Ultraviolet Light on Mitochondria
نویسنده
چکیده
The demonstration by Martius and Nitz-Litzow (4), and Martius (5), that vitamin K1 may play a functional role in oxidative phosphorylation in animals has led to an increased interest in the participation of vitamin Ki and related quinones in electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and photosynthetic phosphorylation. Since vitamin K1 is altered by the action of ultraviolet radiation (6), we have treated rat liver mitochondria with near-ultraviolet light in order to alter such intramitochondrial components. After such treatment, oxidative phosphorylation with succinate as substrate is dependent upon the addition of cytochrome c, and oxidative phosphorylation with glutamate as substrate is dependent upon the addition of cytochrome c and vitamin K1. The action of vitamin K1 appears to be specific in that a number of related compounds do not restore oxidative phosphorylation.

UV-B radiation and EOD light (EOD) quality has both signaling and damaging effects based on the dosage and time of exposure. At highland areas UV-B decreases crop productivity and also light quality increase at high elevation area but EOD light quality effect was not researched based on altitude. Therefore, in the present study a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of UV-B...

The structural changes associated with the ultraviolet-induced bleaching of light-grown cells of Euglena gracilis were investigated. Our lightand electron-microscopic observations of the bleaching process indicate that there is a continuity of plastid structure in cells 5 generations after receiving a bleaching dose of ultraviolet light. There seems to be a continuous dilution of the plastid th...
