چکیده

Evidence has recently been presented that photoinhibition of photosystem II (PSII) is triggered by absorption of light by the oxygen-evolving manganese cluster. To get insight into the effects of light on enzymes containing manganese or other transition metal cofactors, the photosensitivities of Mn catalase, Mn superoxide dismutase, the haem (Fe)-containing bovine liver catalase, and CuZn superoxide dismutase were investigated. Glucose oxidase was studied as an example of an enzyme that does not have a metal cofactor. Sensitivities of these five enzymes to UVC, UVA, and visible light were compared in anaerobic conditions. The Mn(III)-oxo-Mn(III)-containing Mn catalase was found to be more sensitive to both visible and UV light than bovine liver catalase. Furthermore, the action spectrum of photoinhibition of Mn catalase was found to be fairly similar to that of photoinhibition of PSII. The Mn(II)-containing Mn superoxide dismutase was sensitive to UVC light and somewhat sensitive to UVA light, while only UVC light caused some inhibition of CuZn superoxide dismutase. Glucose oxidase was the least photosensitive of the enzymes studied. The photosensitivity of Mn enzymes supports the hypothesis that the oxygen-evolving manganese complex of PSII can be damaged by UV and visible light absorbed by its Mn(III) or Mn(IV) ions.

PHOTOINHIBITION OF PHOTOSYSTEM II Kinetics, Photoprotection and Mechanism

Photosystem II (PSII) is susceptible to light-induced damage defined as photoinhibition. In natural conditions, plants are capable of repairing the photoinhibited PSII by on-going degradation and re-synthesis of the D1 reaction centre protein of PSII. Photoinhibition is induced by both visible and ultraviolet light and photoinhibition occurs under all light intensities with the same efficiency ...

Minireview Photoinhibition – a historical perspective ∗

Photoinhibition is a state of physiological stress that occurs in all oxygen evolving photosynthetic organisms exposed to light. The primary damage occurs within the reaction center of Photosystem II (PS II). While irreversible photoinduced damage to PS II occurs at all light intensities, the efficiency of photosynthetic electron transfer decreases markedly only when the rate of damage exceeds ...

On the Role of Manganese in Photosynthesis: Kinetics of Photoinhibition in Manganese-deficent and 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea-inhibited Euglena gracilis.

Euglena gracilis (Klebs) cultures were grown under conditions where limitation in supply of manganese limited chlorophyll content much more than growth. Although the initial rates of photosynthetic oxygen evolution were not affected by the level of manganese, photoinhibition in high intensity light was markedly influenced. All cultures showed first order kinetics for photoinhibition, with the h...

A model for the water-oxidation and recovery systems of the oxygen-evolving complex.

We propose a model for the water-oxidation and recovery systems of the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of the photosystem II (PSII) enzyme. The whole system is constructed from two catalytic cycles, conducted as a tandem reaction: (i) a water-oxidation loop uses cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate as an oxidant to activate a dimanganese complex for water-oxidation and thereby liberate a molecule of O2 an...

Photoinhibition of Photosynthesis in Broken Chloroplasts as a Function of Electron Transfer Rates during Light Treatment.

Photoinhibition was studied in osmotically broken chloroplasts isolated from spinach leaves (Spinacia oleracea L.). Both whole chain electron transport (measured as ferricyanide-dependent O(2) evolution in the presence of NH(4)Cl) and photosystem II activity (measured as O(2) evolution in the presence of either silicomolybdate plus 3-(3,4-diphenyl)-1,1 dimethylurea or parabenzoquinone) showed s...
