Reconstruction of the chloroplast noncyclic electron transport pathway from water to NADP with three integral protein complexes.

Lam E, Malkin R

Abstract

RECONSTRUCTION OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC NONCYCLIC ELECTRON TRANSPORT FROM WATER TO NADP HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY USING THREE INTEGRAL PROTEIN COMPLEXES ISOLATED FROM CHLOROPLAST THYLAKOID MEMBRANES: photosystems I and II and the cytochrome b(6)-f complex. This system shows an absolute dependence on the presence of all three protein complexes for NADP reduction, in addition to plastocyanin, ferredoxin, and ferredoxin-NADP reductase. The reconstructed system was found to be sensitive to low concentrations of known inhibitors of noncyclic electron transport. Depletion of the Rieske iron-sulfur center and bound plastoquinone from the cytochrome b(6)-f complex resulted in an inhibition of the photoreduction of NADP.
