Characterization of elemental sulfur in isolated intact spinach chloroplasts.

چکیده
Incubation of intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts in the presence of (35)SO(4) (2-) resulted in the light-dependent formation of a chloroform-soluble sulfur-containing compound distinct from sulfolipid. We have identified this compound as the most stable form (S(8)) of elemental sulfur (S(0), valence state for S = O) by mass spectrometry. It is possible that elemental sulfur (S(0)) was formed by oxidation of bound sulfide, i.e. after the photoreduction of sulfate to sulfide by intact chloroplasts, and released as S(8) under the experimental conditions used for analysis.

Photoreduction of sulfur dioxide by spinach leaves and isolated spinach chloroplasts.
Labeled sulfur dioxide was found to be extensively absorbed by spinach (Spinacea oleracea L.) leaves. Labeled sulfides detected in leaf blades following fumigations with sulfur dioxide in light indicated that photoreduction of sulfur dioxide had occurred. Measurable proportions of this labeled sulfur was localized within the chloroplast fraction. Suspensions of isolated chloroplasts supplied wi...
متن کاملSulfur dioxide inhibition of photosynthesis in isolated spinach chloroplasts.
Photosynthetic oxygen evolution by isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts approached complete inhibition in the presence of a 5 mm concentration of sulfur dioxide. A similar inhibition was observed in the presence of equimolar concentrations of bisulfite ions, suggesting a parallel mode of action. In contrast, an equimolar concentration of sulfite ions was markedly less inhibitory...
متن کاملUptake of bicarbonate ion in darkness by isolated chloroplast envelope membranes and intact chloroplasts of spinach.
Bicarbonate uptake by isolated chloroplast envelope membranes and intact chloroplasts of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. var. Viroflay) in darkness exhibited a similar dependency upon temperature, pH, time, and concentrations of isolated or attached envelope membranes. This similarity in uptake properties demonstrates the usefulness of the envelope membranes for the study of chloroplast permeabil...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide fixation in the light and in the dark by isolated spinach chloroplasts.
Factors affecting CO(2) fixation in the spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplast were investigated. Free magnesium ions are shown to be highly inhibitory for photosynthetic CO(2) fixation in isolated intact spinach chloroplasts. The pH optimum for CO(2) fixation is about 8.5 but is dependent upon the reaction medium. Conditions are defined under which chloroplasts illuminated in the absence of C...
متن کاملCharacterization of an Electron Transport Pathway Associated with Glucose and Fructose Respiration in the Intact Chloroplasts of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Spinach.
The role of an electron transport pathway associated with aerobic carbohydrate degradation in isolated, intact chloroplasts was evaluated. This was accomplished by monitoring the evolution of (14)CO(2) from darkened spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplasts externally supplied with [(14)C]fructose and [(14)C]glucose, respectively, in the presence of nitrite, oxaloac...
