- Abstract:
Three polypeptide fractions with the apparent molecular weight 66 000 were
isolated from stromafreed Antirrhinum chloroplasts which were solubilized
with dodecyl sulfate. Antisera to these fractions affect electron
transport in distinctly different ways. For the characterization of the
three antisera photochemical reactions of chloroplast preparation with
artificial electron donors and acceptors as well the analysis of
fluorescence rise curves were used. Antiserum 66 000 PSI-96 inhibits
electron transport apparently on the acceptor side of photosystem I,
provided the antibodies are adsorbed onto the outer surface of the
thylakoid membrane. Antiserum 66 000 PSI-88 probably acts directly on the
reaction centre I or on its immediate vicinity, if the antibodies are
adsorbed at the inner surface of the thylakoid membrane. Antiserum 66 000
PSII-42 inhibits electron transport in the region of photosystem II. The
antigen towards which the antiserum is directed appears to belong to the
reaction centre II, as also in the condition of high inhibition degrees,
the fluorescence intensity remains unchanged. The determinants are located
at the outer surface of the thylakoid membrane.
