三氯乙酸盐对莱因衣藻类囊体EPR信号SignalⅡslow和SignalⅠ的影响

植物光系统Ⅱ反应中心Ｄ２多肽第１６０位酪氨酸残基（Ｙ_Ｄ）氧化可以产生电子顺磁共振（ＥＰＲ）信号 Ｓｉｇｎａｌ Ⅱ_（ｓｌｏｗ．）高浓度的三氯乙酸盐（ＴＣＡ）短时间处理莱因衣藻（Ｃｈｌａｍｙｄｏｍｏｎａｓ ｒｅｉｎｈａｒｄｔｉｉ）类囊体可以直接促使氧化态的 Ｙ_Ｄ（Ｙ_Ｄ）迅速还原，淬灭 Ｓｉｇｎａｌ Ⅱ_（ｓｌｏｗ·）这种作用具有浓度和时间效应．ＴＣＡ处理引起类囊体膜上包括３个放氧外周多肽在内的部分多肽脱落．在衣藻光系统Ⅱ反应中心三维分子模型的基础上对Ｙ_Ｄ周围的氨基酸微环境进行了分析，认为Ｙ_Ｄ周围相对较强的疏水性微环境可能是 ＴＣＡ影响 Ｙ_Ｄ氧化还原状态的前提．同时， ＴＣＡ处理还能稳定源于光系统 Ⅰ中氧化态的反应中心色素双分子 Ｐ_（７００）~＋的 ＥＰＲ信号 Ｓｉｇｎａｌ　Ⅰ，抑制其衰减．     

Increased formation of asparagine in ‘Carica-curl’ virus infected leaves

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der Papierchromatographie wurden lösliche und unlösliche Proteine in gesunden und durch «Carica-Curl»-Virus erkrankten Blättern von Carica-Papaya bestimmt. In kranken Blättern nehmen die unlöslichen Proteine ab, der Gehalt an Asparagin,-Alanin +-Aminobuttersäure zu, was wohl auf eine Änderung des Eiweißstoffwechsels der infizierten Blätter unter dem Einfluss des Virus zurückgeführt werden darf.     

Trichloroacetate affects the EPR SignalⅡslow and SignalⅠin the thylakoid of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

One electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal, named SignalⅡslow, originates from the oxidized Tyrosine 160 (YDo) of D2 polypeptide of photosystemⅡ reaction center. After adding high concentration trichloroacetate (TCA) to the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii thylakoid suspension, this signal was abolished in a minute. Treatment of TCA also removes a few of polypeptides, including three extrinsic polypeptides of oxygen-evolving complex, from the thylakoid membrane. Based upon the analysis of the microenvironment around YD with a three-dimensional model, it is indicated that relatively high hydrophobicity of this microenvironment may be the essential prerequisite for TCA to affect YD. It has been observed that TCA treatment also retards the decay of the SignalⅠ, produced by the oxidized reaction center chlorophyll dimer (P700+) of photosys- temⅠ.     

Formation of asparagine and increase in the free amino acid content in virus infected leaves ofAbelmoschus esculentus

Zusammenfassung Papierchromatographische Analysen der freien Aminosäuren und Amide in gesunden und mit «yellow mosaic»-Virus infizierten Blättern vonAbelmoschus esculentus zeigen neben einer Zunahme von Leucin, Phenylalanin, Valin + Methionin und Asparaginsäure die Bildung einer neuen, ninhydrinpositiven Substanz und Asparagin in den infizierten Blättern. Es werden Anregungen für weitere Untersuchungen gemacht.     

Trichloroacetate affects the EPR Signal IIslow and Signal I in the thylakoid ofChlamydomonas reinhardtii

One electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal, named Signal II_slow, originates from the oxidized Tyrosine 160 (Y_D) of D2 polypeptide of photosystem II reaction center.

Treatment of TCA also removes a few of polypeptides, including three extrinsic polypeptides of oxygen-evolving complex, from the thylakoid membrane. Based upon the analysis of the microenvironment around Y_D with a three-dimensional model, it is indicated that relatively high hydrophobicity of this microenvironment may be the essential prerequisite for TCA to affect Y_D. It has been observed that TCA treatment also retards the decay of the Signal 1, produced by the oxidized reaction center chlorophyll dimer (P700⁺) of photosystem I.
