Nonaqueous purification of maize mesophyll chloroplasts.
نویسنده
چکیده
A nonaqueous fractionation method to obtain highly purified mesophyll chloroplasts from lyophilized leaves of Zea mays L. is described. The levels of several metabolites including pyruvate were determined in the purified mesophyll chloroplast fractions which were prepared from leaves exposed to different light intensities. The role of pyruvate in the regulation of pyruvate,Pi dikinase in these chloroplasts under different light intensities is discussed.

متن کاملDistribution of Protein-bound Hexosamine in Chloroplasts.
Intact chloroplasts of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), and maize (Zea mays L.) mesophyll cells contained 0.33, 0.50, and 0.14% of bound hexosamine on a protein basis, respectively. Undifferentiated maize chloroplasts contained 0.19%. Values for chloroplast lamellae were, respectively, 0.16, 0.18, 0.12, and 0.06% and for envelope membranes they were 1.6, 2.5, 3....
متن کاملDifferential expression of six light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein genes in maize leaf cell types.
Bundle sheath chloroplasts of maize leaves contain about one-fourth as much light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein of photosystem II (LHCP-II) as do mesophyll chloroplasts. We have determined that this difference is, in part, the result of differential expression of different LHCP-II genes. We have prepared and partially characterized cDNA clones specific for six LHCP-II genes of maiz...
متن کاملHill Reaction, Hydrogen Peroxide Scavenging, and Ascorbate Peroxidase Activity of Mesophyll and Bundle Sheath Chloroplasts of NADP-Malic Enzyme Type C(4) Species.
Intact mesophyll and bundle sheath chloroplasts wee isolated from the NADP-malic enzyme type C(4) plants maize, sorghum (monocots), and Flaveria trinervia (dicot) using enzymic digestion and mechanical isolation techniques. Bundle sheath chloroplasts of this C(4) subgroup tend to be agranal and were previously reported to be deficient in photosystem II activity. However, following injection of ...
متن کاملAdenine Nucleotide Levels, the Redox State of the NADP System, and Assimilatory Force in Nonaqueously Purified Mesophyll Chloroplasts from Maize Leaves under Different Light Intensities.
Recently, a nonaqueous fractionation method of obtaining highly purified mesophyll chloroplasts from maize leaves was established. This method is now used to determine adenine nucleotide levels, the redox states of the NADP system, Pi levels and dihydroxyacetone phosphate/3-phosphoglycerate ratios in mesophyll chloroplasts of Zea mays L. leaves under different light intensities. The sum of the ...
