چکیده

Chloroplast ATPase complex is activated by illumination in the presence or absence of dithiothreitol. ATPase complex which has been activated without dithiothreitol catalyzes ATP hydrolysis which is insensitive to stimulation by NH4Cl and is highly sensitive to medium pH. Addition of dithiothreitol during illumination results in an increase in the stimulating effect of NH4Cl on ATP hydrolysis and a decrease in pH sensitivity of ATP hydrolysis. With increasing time in the dark, the ability of NH4Cl to stimulate ATP hydrolysis decreases and the effect of pH on the ATP hydrolysis increases. The onset of resistance to NH4Cl stimulation and the increase in sensitivity to pH are accelerated by ADP and the acceleration is inhibited by Pi. ATP hydrolysis restores NH4Cl sensitivity and renders the activity more resistant to pH. These results suggest that active chloroplast ATPase complex converts its state reversibly from the NH4Cl-insensitive and highly pH-sensitive one to the NH4Cl-sensitive and relatively pH-insensitive one. The conversion from the former to the latter requires both sulfhydryl compound and energy.

Aspects of Subunit Interactions in the Chloroplast ATP Synthase (I. Isolation of a Chloroplast Coupling Factor 1-Subunit III Complex from Spinach Thylakoids).

A chloroplast ATP synthase complex (CF1 [chloroplast-coupling factor 1]-CF0 [membrane-spanning portion of chloroplast ATP synthase]) depleted of all CF0 subunits except subunit III (also known as the proteolipid subunit) was purified to study the interaction between CF1 and subunit III. Subunit III has a putative role in proton translocation across the thylakoid membrane during photophosphoryla...

Complete tracking of transient proton flow through active chloroplast ATP synthase.

Proton pumping in thylakoid membranes and backflow of protons through the active ATP synthase CF0-CF1 (where CF0 is the proton channel and CF1 is the catalytic portion) were investigated by flash spectrophotometry. A steady pH difference across the membrane was generated by continuous measuring light, supplemented by voltage transients that were generated by flashing light. In the presence of P...

Localization and orientation of subunit delta of spinach chloroplast ATP-synthase within the CF0 CF1 complex. 2. Identification of C-terminal residues of delta, exposed on the thylakoid membrane.

The amino acid residues of spinach CF1 subunit delta are identified which are accessible and thus exposed within the quaternary structure of the ATP-synthase complex on the thylakoid membrane. Two types of antibodies in the monospecific polyclonal antiserum 306 against CF1 delta, described in the previous publication [Z. Naturforsch. 44c, 153-160 (1989)], were separated by virtue of their diffe...

Kinetic analysis of tentoxin binding to chloroplast F1-ATPase. A model for the overactivation process.

The mechanism of action of tentoxin on the soluble part (chloroplast F1 H+-ATPase; CF1) of chloroplast ATP synthase was analyzed in the light of new kinetic and equilibrium experiments. Investigations were done regarding the functional state of the enzyme (activation, bound nucleotide, catalytic turnover). Dialysis and binding data, obtained with 14C-tentoxin, fully confirmed the existence of t...

Chloroplast thioredoxin mutants without active-site cysteines facilitate the reduction of the regulatory disulphide bridge on the gamma-subunit of chloroplast ATP synthase.

The activity of the chloroplast H+-ATPase (CFoCF1) is regulated by the proton electrochemical membrane potential and the reduction or the formation of the disulphide bridge on the gamma-subunit mediated by chloroplast thioredoxins (Trx). The latter regulation also applies to the water-soluble portion of CFoCF1 (CF1) and includes two successive steps, namely the binding of Trx to CF1 and the sub...
