Effects of glycidate on carbon dioxide fixation with isolated spinach chloroplasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glycidate (2,3-epoxypropionate) stimulated CO(2) fixation in isolated spinach chloroplasts up to 100%. In the presence of glycidate the initial lag phase was abolished and the chloroplasts exported mainly 3-phosphoglycerate instead of dihydroxyacetone phosphate.Glycolate formation was not inhibited by glycidate, which is in agreement with the observation that preactivated ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate oxygenase is not inhibited by this compound. Furthermore, glycidate had no effect on electron transport (NADP reduction) and photophosphorylation, nor was a change in the coupling ratio observed.

Carbon 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 کاملResponse of carbon dioxide fixation to water stress: parallel measurements on isolated chloroplasts and intact spinach leaves.
Application of water stress to isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts by redutcion of the osmotic potentials of CO(2) fixation media below -6 to -8 bars resulted in decreased rates of fixation regardless of solute composition. A decrease in CO(2) fixation rate of isolated chloroplasts was also found when leaves were dehydrated in air prior to chloroplast isolation. An inverse respons...
متن کاملNitrite Reduction in Reconstituted and Whole Spinach Chloroplasts during Carbon Dioxide Reduction.
Nitrite reduction in either whole, isolated spinach chloroplasts (Spinacia oleracea L.) or in reconstituted spinach chloroplasts is stimulated by a short period of photosynthetic CO(2) fixation in the light prior to nitrite addition. With reconstituted chloroplasts, a similar stimulation can be obtained in nitrite reduction without CO(2) fixation by the addition of dihydroxyacetone phosphate or...
متن کاملInhibition of photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation in isolated spinach chloroplasts exposed to reduced osmotic potentials.
Reduced osmotic potentials inhibited the rate of CO(2) fixation by isolated intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts. This inhibition was observed immediately after transfer of chloroplasts from a solution containing 0.33 m sorbitol to higher sorbitol concentrations, and the depressed rate remained constant. The inhibited CO(2) fixation could not be attributed to a decreased rate of phot...
متن کاملEffect of glycidate on glycolate formation and photosynthesis in isolated spinach chloroplasts.
Glycidate (2,3-epoxypropionate) increased CO(2) photoassimilation in intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts in the presence of various inhibitors of photosynthesis, including O(2), arsenite, azide, iodo-acetamide, and carbonylcyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone. Although the mechanism by which glycidate enhances photosynthesis is obscure, the stimulatory effect cannot be ascribed to eit...
