iso-Butanol이 엽록체의 광합성 전자전달 활성에 미치는 영향을 연구하기 위하여 암조건하에서 시금치의 엽록체에 iso-butanol을 처리한 후 대조구와 비교하여 광계 II 활성과 광계 I 활성을 조사하였으며, 또한 iso-butanol이 틸라코이드 막단백질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 전기영동으로 틸라코이드 막단백질의 변화를 조사하였다. 광계 I 활성은 iso-butanol이 저농도(1-4%)일 때는 증가하였으나 고농도(5-9%) 에서는 감소되었다. 광계 II 활성은 iso-butanol의 농도가 0.6, 0.8, 1%에서는 각각 75%, 55% 및 25%로 활성이 감소하였다. Butanol 중에서 탄소수는 같으나 OH 기의 위치가 다른 1-butanol, sec-butanol, tert-butanol, iso-butanol이 광계 II의 전자전달계에 미치는 영향을 비교해 본 결과 OH 기를 중심으로 탄소의 배열이 직선상 일 때 저해효과가 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. iso-butanol이 1차적으로 광계 II에 미치는 억제 부위는 0.8% iso-butanol 처리구에 DPC 첨가했을 때 DCIP 환원율이 93%로 증가하는 것으로 보아 광계 II의 산화 부위임을 알 수 있다. 0.8% iso-butanol 처리구에 외부에서 망간과 칼슘을 첨가하였을 때 광계 II 활성이 각각 83%와 79%로 보호된 것으로 보아 광계 II 활성 억제는 망간의 소실과 관계 있는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 1% iso-butanol 처리한 엽록체를 20배 희석하였을 때 활성이 78%로 회복되었다. iso-Butanol은 1% 이하의 저농도에서 광계 II 활성을 감소시킨데 비해 1% iso-butanol 처리구의 틸라코이드 막단백질의 SDS-PAGE에 의한 band pattern은 대조구와 유사하며 2% 처리구에서는 52 Kd 부근에서 미세한 band pattern의 차이가 있으며 5%의 iso-butanol 처리구의 틸라코이드 막단백질의 band는 전체적으로 많이 소실되었다. 이것으로 보아 iso-butanol은 가역적으로 광계 II의 산화부위에 관여하는 단백질에 영향을 주어 $Ca^{2+}와\;Mn^{2+}$ 이온의 친화력을 저하시켜 광계 II 활성을 억제시키고 또한 알코올의 R-group의 틸라코이드 막에 침투하여 막구조를 변형시키므로 광계 I 활성이 증가하며 고농도(5-9%)에서는 비가역적으로 막구조를 변경하여 광계 I 활성이 감소한 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of simetryne on light induced electron transport and phosphorylation in isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts were investigated in comparison with sencor and DCMU. Simetryne, like sencor and DCMU, completely, inhibited PSII electron transport and phosphoryltion with 10-6 M treatment but did not inhibit PSI electron transport. Interference with the electron transport pathway was evidenced by the greater sensitivity of oxygen evolution and uptake than phosphorylation. The following order of decreasing inhibitory effectiveness was exihibited; DCMU>simetryne>sencor. The photoacoustic technique was also used to monitor the relative photosynthetic activity in the leaves treated with the herbicides (simetryne, sencor or DCMU) in vivo and in vitro. Photoacoustic measurements on intact leaves provide quantitative information on two related aspects of the photosynthetic process, namely, photochemical energy storage and oxygen evolution. The relative photoacoustic signal of leaves treated with the herbicides showed low level in 21 Hz, but high level in 380 Hz and on isolated chloroplasts (both 21 Hz and 380 Hz) in comparison with that of the untreated leaves. These results suggest that some of photochemical energy is converted into the heat owing to the inhibition of electorn transport pathway by the herbicides.

Chloroplasts are present in organisms belonging to the kingdom Plantae. These organelles are thought to have originated from photosynthetic cyanobacteria through endosymbiosis. During endosymbiosis, most cyanobacterial genes were transferred to the host nucleus. Therefore, most chloroplast proteins became encoded in the nuclear genome and must return to the chloroplast after translation. The N-terminal cleavable transit peptide (TP) is necessary and sufficient for the import of nucleus-encoded interior chloroplast proteins. Over the past decade, extensive research on the TP has revealed many important characteristic features of TPs. These studies have also shed light on the question of how the many diverse TPs could have evolved to target specific proteins to the chloroplast. In this review, we summarize the characteristic features of TPs. We also highlight recent advances in our understanding of TP evolution and provide future perspectives about this important research area.

Two new genera of red algae, Madagascaria erythrocladioides West et Zuccarello and Pseudoerythrocladia kornmannii West et Kikuchi (Erythropeltidales, Compsopogonophyceae, Rhodophyta), were previously described using molecular analysis and confocal microscopy of isolates in laboratory culture. We examined the ultrastructure of both genera to compare with ultrastructure of other members of the class Compsopogonophyceae. Both genera had Golgi bodies not associated with mitochondria and chloroplasts with a peripheral encircling thylakoid similar to all other members of the class studied thus far. Confocal autofluorescence images showed that Madagascaria has a single round central pyrenoid while Pseudoerythrocladia has no pyrenoid. Our electron microscopic work confirms these initial observations. Tables and keys are presented that assist in interpreting cellular details of genera in the class Compsopogonophyceae.

Correlative changes between photosynthetic O2 exchange rates and room temperature Chl fluorescence were investigated in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chloroplasts treated with high temperature for 5 min. With increasing treatment temperature, photosynthetic O2 evolution rate mediated by PSII was decreased, showing 50% inhibition at 38$^{\circ}C$ (I50). But PSI activity measured by O2 uptake rates was stimulated as a function of increasing temperature. Dark level fluorescence (Fo)-temperature (T) analysis showed that fluorescence rising temperature (Tr), critical temperature (Tc), and peak temperature (Tp) was 38, 43, and 52$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Quenching analysis of Chl fluorescence showed that both the oxidized fraction of plastoquinone (qQ) and degree of thylakoid membrane energization (qNP) increased up to 4$0^{\circ}C$ and then declined dramatically. These results suggest that Tr is correlated with temperature showing a 50% of inhibition of photosynthesis and under mild high temperature stress, qNP is worth regarding as indicator for heat-induced damage of photosynthesis.
